I was afraid I had lice.
I looked in the mirror this morning and started to brush my hair...and I started seeing all these little white things...
And I have had lice once before when I was in 7th grade and it was a HORRIBLE experience; I got kicked out of the beauty salon mid-haircut and everything. Damn slumber parties.
So, this mornings' sightings rightfully freaked me out.
And then I looked closer, and realized that it definitely wasn't lice. My head doesn't itch, for one...not to mention that the white stuff looked suspiciously like dandruff.
Except I've never had dandruff before, so why now?
And then I realized...
I had sunburned my head through my helmet in Arizona last week and forgotten about it. So, the dandruff? It's actually my scalp peeling.
So now I added dandruff hair to my previously acquired bike-short tan lines and bloody, chaffed legs.
Hot, right?

glad it wasn't lice. How does the sun manage to find your scalp through all that thick, curly hair? Anyway, I can relate : )
You're lucky you have hair (and to have been in a place where you can actually get a sunburn so early in the spring)...as I rock a shaved head year round, the dead skin thing gets real NASTY when I forget to put sunscreen on my head the first few sunny days I head out each spring.
what a relief!!!!!
Ha! You can't win 'em all, but I'm glad you won that one. As a teacher, I am always worried about picking up those hitchhikers. Any itch and I get nervous. Ick!
Biker's tan and flaking scalp--DAYUM that's hawt.
If you go with my haircut, you can actually put sunscreen right on your dome. But then we couldn't call you Curly Su.
