The quote, "Do one thing every day that scares you" was first presented to me in the popular 1998 song, "Everyone's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)" by Baz Luhrmann. While true origin of the quote is debatable, I've found that this saying has stuck with me as a personal motto (most days) and I frequently pass it on as advice to other people. This blog is my attempt to capture and chronicle "the one thing every day that scares me" in 2011.

Day 144 - Burned
This is me. Sunburned. After consciously working a month to get rid of my "farmers tan", I got sunburned yesterday! OK, yes I should have worn sunscreen, but I really don't know how the heck I could have gotten such a bad burn on such a short walk! I look as though I am wearing a red bib around my neck, as my chest and shoulders are no longer any normal shade of human flesh. I can only guess that either my white tank top reflected the sun, or I had some perfume or lotion on that interacted with the bastard's UV rays. In the future, I guess it's turtlenecks and SPF 10,000!
