Why do I hate the beach, you ask. Well, it combines three things I hate independently: water, sand, and sun. I like to look at the beach, and an hour there would be nice, but after several hours I was ready to get the heck out. I'd rather spend time in a salvage yard. And I just really hate the feeling of baking in the sun. You could put a chicken breast in the oven at 100 degrees, and in a couple of hours it'd be cooked. That's what you're doing to your skin, people! The thought of it entirely creeps me out; I feel myself baking like a chicken in the oven. Gives me the willies.

Posted by: gatorgirl at September 27, 2007 01:44 PMSarah....knitting...in the shade...at the beach....blasphemy!
I don't do the whole cooking myself in the sun...although I love the beach, love the water and love the sun...I love it though, with an SPF ranging from 30-50 during the time I'm out there, my kids too...but I grew up living on the beach...so whole different life for me...
I also love the snow...so I'm an either or gal...but I love the change of seasons...so not sure I could live forever in either climate!
still having a hard time with the knitting thing though....I don't think I ever saw anyone knitting on the beach, now I saw some strange things in Mallorja on the beach but that consisted of a really old guy with old um.....anatomy....you should go...it was comical....I kept my bathing suit on...
