A funeral and a sunburn

I went to my roommate's dad's funeral last weekend, and it was really sad. My roommate went up and read something her and her siblings wrote at the service. She read it beautifully, and I was proud of her. I don't think I would have been able to do as well as she did. The funeral made me think about life and death again. I know we all need to value every single day and the people we have in our life. My thoughts are still with my roommate and her family.

Currently I am burnt... burnt burnt burnt, but it was well worth it. I spent four hours (prime sun time 10am-2pm) yesterday at a huge art fair without any sunscreen. Ouch... but I found some of the coolest stuff. I bought a photograph of these old books, which will go above my desk at my new apartment (once it's framed). I also got a sterling silver ring and a pair of earrings. Finally, my final purchase was a deep blue-green colored bowl. It's gorgeous. I'm so happy with everything I bought. The downsides to all this is my colorful burn and my poor bank account. So I am now icing my very burnt chest and shoulders.
