Sandy & Sunburned!

anonymoose_au9:30pm: From the beach alas, my friends and I had a great time, even though I ended up getting caught in a wave that practically dumped me in the sand, which led to me being covered in it. Despite taking two showers it's still clinging on, WTF?
As for the sunburn, well I didn't realise I had been so, I applied the sunscreen before I left this morning, but I forgot to put it on again when I finished swimming. We were only there for about half an hour after that, but it is summer. :O( Anyway, my person looked fine until I got back here to the Granny Flat, where I realised my arms were red, also my chest and because my swimsuit is low cut the top of my boobs too! Oh and my back, damn. Later on I found that my right hip area was also burned, but not the left, which is the only sunburnt area that hurts, so thank God for small favours.
All the same, this is a major bummer, now I'm going to look weird when I wear my dress at my birthday party on Saturday, unless it fades by then, I'm not sure how it takes. Not to mention, every sunburn you get increases your chance of getting cancer! I probably don't need to be too worried about that, but it's no good that these last few years I've got sunburnt, I never used to.
But anyway, that aside, it was a fun time and we went back to one of my friends places for lunch, which was delicious. There was desert too, home made sorbet and a mango cake!
With so much eaten I didn't have dinner tonight - well except for a carrot and some cucumber.
In other news, Mum's friends down in the main house seem to have missed paying their Foxtel bill because now we can only get six channels in addition to the free-to-air ones. This sucks quite a bit, I've only managed to discover two of the six channels left, and neither of those are the CI Network or UKTV. Damn, I hope they pay it soon without me having to remind them, because that'd be kind of awkward...
Anyway, I feel I should do some Memes, but which ones...

The Christmas Meme
1. Do you send Christmas cards? I do! I even make them myself, however I had to cut back this year due to lack of money.
2. How soon do you start shopping?: Not soon enough! I didn't do much shopping this year since again I'm low on money.
3. Who do you shop for?: My parents and brothers mostly.
4. Do you put up a Christmas tree?: I did! Although I better back it away now, it's well after Epiphany.
5. If so, is it fake or real?: Fake, Australian's on the whole don't have real ones, too much trouble. My friend's family did have a real one, I saw it today!
6. Do you like tinsel?: I certainly do! I need to take that down as well, boo.
7. Do you use homemade or store bought ornaments?: Store bought, although the two trees I currently have come with ornaments attached! I had to buy a star for the slightly bigger tree though.
8. Do you put Christmas lights outside your house?: Alas, I have no lights. I put out a string of red stars out on my balcony railing when I realised I had them.
9. Do you put lights on the tree?: I would if I had some, but I don't.
10. How about popcorn and cranberries?: Don't do that in Australia.
11. Is there a wreath hanging on your door?: I had a small one! Also a Santa inspired one on my other door that opens onto the balcony.
13. Do you hang up your stocking?: No, but I did have a stocking, except I had to fill it myself because my parents have given up stockings. Not me though!
14. Does your family read "Twas the night before Christmas?": Nope, when we were little we'd read this really nice picture book about the Nativity, we still have the book, but we don't read it out.
15. Christmas Movie?: I do enjoy The National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
16. Character from any Christmas Movie: Gotta love Clark Griswold. :OP
17. Christmas Song: I do love O Come All Ye Faithful
18. Christmas Memory: Christmas in England, there was snow!

22. Ham or Turkey?: Both! ;O)
24. White Lights or Colored Lights? Coloured lights, I like to get some variety.
25. Blinking Lights or Still Lights: Hmmm...I guess still, blinking for outside ones maybe, but inside it'd be kind of irritating.
26. Were you Naughty or Nice this year?: Well, the new year has started now I'm so late doing this...but I'm sure I was nice.
27. What do you want for Christmas this year?: For 2015, a job damnit! I sure hope I get it before Christmas though!
28. When do you open your gifts?: Christmas morning, and sometimes later at my grandparents' place.

30. What's the worst gift you've ever gotten?: I think I got underwear once, how boring is that?
31. Who gives you the most gifts?: My parents!
32. Have you ever had a secret Santa?: Yes! They got me a great gift too, which served to remind me I suck at figuring out what to give someone for a present.
33. Do you like wrapping gifts?: I don't hate it, but it's not my favourite activity.

38. Have you ever seen your mommy kissing Santa Clause?: Nope.
39. Have you ever gotten a kiss under the mistletoe?: Nope, I don't think I've ever seen Mistletoe to be honest.
41. Do you drive around and look at the Christmas lights?: I don't have access to a car, but I do keep my eyes peeled for any good ones! There were several on the next street over.
42. Have you ever left Santa cookies?: Yes! And milk!
43. Have you ever sat on Santa's lap?: I think I sat next to him in the photos we have, I went with my brothers so there wasn't enough room for all of us to sit on his knee!
44. Who do you celebrate Christmas with?: Family, usually the maternal side. Dad comes along too, of course! ;O)
45. Where do you celebrate Christmas?: Usually at my maternal grandparents' house.
46. Have you ever had a white Christmas?: Yes, in England! Might not have snowed on Christmas Day, but it did shortly before it and I think there was still snow out on the ground.
47. What part of Christmas do you look most forward to?: Being with family!
48. Have you ever had your picture taken with Santa?: Yes, not since 1992 though!
Well, one edition of the Sunday Stealing I've missed, sometimes they have a lot of questions and right now the Fed-Ex is playing at the Brisbane International. He's playing against an Aussie, but it's FED-EX! Go Fed-Ex!
Oh no, it's 4-4 first set and it's a deuce, I hate deuce.
Oh wait, now it's 5-4, but still on serve. Oh wait now the Aussie has set point! GULP! Come on Fed, keep on keeping on.
And now, goodnight!
