aaaawwww......tanning..... 

I love to tan. Whether it is basking in the rays in the yard or in the tanning beds makes no difference. The warm bright light makes me so incredibly happy. I started tanning last week for the first time in 2 years. Now, I've always been a regular tanner, but only in the spring. I like to get just enough color that then I can maintain a nice golden hue throughout the summer. I was positively giddy that first visit. My toes were wiggling and I was grinning like the cheshire cat....in the bed, stark naked, with my goggles on. When the girl was showing me around this place I punched her in the arm when I saw that each bed has a facial tanner........beautiful. They also have a cappucino/smoothie bar. There is nothing not to like about this place.

I am one happy girl when my bare ass hits that bed. With the fan strategically placed by my head so I stay as cool as possible (I've always had problems with to much heat in my nose....whole other blog), I pull up my cheeks to diminish the white moons under the buttocks. I lift my chin so as to not have white lines on my neck. I place my arms out a little from my body so the rays can hit my sides....and I bake. For 20 bliss-filled minutes I am alone with my own thoughts, the music playing in the background, the fan blowing on my face, all I'm missing is some sand and some water....I just sailed away.....

Now, the 20 minutes is not all total relaxation, at least not the way you might think. I watch the timer so that I can flip over on my stomach at the half way point. You get much more even results when you rotate. Now, when I was younger and thinner this part wasn't as critical. But now it is a crucial part of my tanning regimine. I keep track of which side I start on and always flip and every couple or three times I will lay up on my side for the last 10 also alternating sides so as to help eliminate any striping. From outside the bed I would resemble a rottiserie chicken, dripping sweat instead of grease, going round, and round, and round.

There is no better feeling than wallowing in your own sweat puddle with the distinct smell of hot skin all around. Pure, sweet, bliss......aaawwww
