Well, I would like to think so....!  :)  Mike and I had some dear friends fly in the for the weekend and we have been busy trying to show them a good time.  We have known Kari and Nahir for a few years now and they are definitely in the top ranks of folks that we miss from Charlotte!  We took Kari and Nahir around Santa Barbara and checked out the shops on State Street and today, we all went to the beach.  Let's just say that my pasty self hasn't seen the light of day since who knows when and I got a tad bit sunburned...OK, just a tad is an understatement....I look like a 5'7 giant lobster!  Umm, can we say painful!?  I am usually OCD about sunscreen (trying to keep the wrinkles at bay!), but I totally with a capital T forgot to put on sunscreen....ouch, ouch, ouch!
