Tan Camp

Thursday, July 19, 2007

I saw a bunch of old friends this week, and again and again, they commented on the tan. In fact, one friend even said “I keep looking over at you and thinking….is that really Becky?”

Another friend said I should keep wearing white to show the contrast and my old boss said I must have brought the sunshine home with me from the cruise.

I fear I’m getting a little tan-obsessed…but having a tan is almost like having a baby or a dog—it’s an icebreaker, especially when I’ve been pale for so long.

And since many of these people are also seeing my co-worker/longtime friend Lauri, who is 8 months pregnant, it’s nice to bring something to the conversation.
