It’s taking a lot of effort to not complain about last week’s weather right now, but I know most of you were in the same ice-covered boat to hell that I was. If you weren’t, well, that’s too bad, because you missed a lot of great opportunities, like figuring out which of your jeans is big enough to fit leggings underneath. Or seeing how slowly you can approach a stop sign without actually stopping so you don’t get stuck. Or doodling in the thin layer of ice that formed inside your bedroom window.

So yeah. Lots of fun over here in the Polar Vortex. Definitely nothing to complain about.

Well, folks, it’s that time of year! That time when I show off a little skin, and douse it in sunscreen lest I burn to a crisp in 15 minutes. I go from Casper to Elmo with a quickness. Lately I’ve been toying with the idea of getting a spray tan, just for fun, but I’m torn. I’ve never understood the whole obsession with being tan, nor have I ever understood why people like to tease me for being pale. As if being pale is innately ugly or something I should be embarrassed about. What’s the deal with that? I mean, have you people ever seen Cate Blanchett?! Anyway, I’ve always embraced my paleness. It’s just what my skin looks like. So if I get a spray tan, would I be abandoning my principles? But on the other hand, I wear makeup most days, and how is this any different? And I must admit, a little glow is nice and summery, and why knock something before I’ve tried it?

Time to weigh in, Internet. Here are your options: (1) Sarah, go get some faux color; (2) Sarah, don’t give in to the tan pressure; or (3) Sarah, children are getting separated from their parents at the border. Please shut up. Your problems are not problems.
