Turn Me Over, I'm Done

Let me just start by saying.... I'm fried! It's what I get, completely self inflicted, completely MY fault, but I am still feeling sorry for myself ;) I'll explain how I got so burnt in a moment....

First:

Sunday night Damon, Caroline, (two co-workers of Jon), Jon and myself headed out for dinner in the city. Jon and Damon had this perfect place in mind for local cuisine, but when we arrived it had been closed for repair. Bummer! We walked around for a while and finally found a place that looked appealing. It was actually very good food. I ordered the chicken, because come on let's face it, chicken is the easiest thing to order when you aren't sure about anything else on the menu. We also order what we thought was 1 order of hummus, but surprisingly got 5 different types. They were all really good and I actually ended up eating my weight in hummus and pita bread. YUM! Dinner was great and so cheap, it was 28 dollars for the 4 of us.

These are some pictures from the restaurant.

Myself, Jon, Caroline and DamonBeing a hairstylist, I found these billboards both incredibly awesome and comical.
The 80's called, they want their billboards back.

After dinner we made our way back to the hotel. I think we were all still exhausted from traveling.

Monday I ventured to the gym, worked out for a good hour and then headed straight to the pool. No one was there so I got a prime chair right by the pool and in direct view of the sun!

Eventually I met four British men that were working on getting their visas so they could live and work in Qatar. They were in the oil business. It was so fun chatting with them and trying to talk to them in a British accent. They bought me a couple of beers (probably feeling sorry for me since I was trying really hard, but failed at sounding like an English person,) and we had a good ole' time. About 5 hours later...... I knew it was definitely way past the time for me to head in and out of the sun. I mean I'm white as snow and should have known that the sun and I have never been good friends. (Meaning, every time I am in the sun for longer than thirty minutes I fry!)

I went back to the room, extremely dehydrated from the sun and from working out in the morning, my knees were burnt, my calves were also a little on the well done side and I had a wicked headache! Again, the sun and I ARE NOT friends. You might actually say that she hates me!

I took two Advil thinking that might kill the pain and crashed out for a little while. When I woke up I couldn't bend my knees, the back of my legs were so burnt. Well that's exactly what I get for not reapplying my sunscreen as often as I should have. I should know better, but I am like a little kid, I'll never learn.

Of course the next day is always worse so I am in a bit of pain today. I guess my plan of laying out everyday will definitely have to be put on hold until I heal! Way to go Steph.
There's not much excitement going on today. I look forward to Jon getting home so he can rub aloe on my back! Yippie!

Word to the wise, please wear sunscreen and reapply regularly. Don't learn the hard way like me.

Tonight the plans for dinner are still up in the air. When you have indecisive people trying to figure out what to do for dinner it can take a while. I hope you all have a great Tuesday!

Now I am off to bathe myself in aloe.
