Well I had a lovely weekend. The Ren Faire was fun on Saturday and we hit the Magic Kingdom Sunday. It was hot (mid 80's) and pretty busy (lots of college kids), but we still got to see everything we wanted to plus several things we had never really done before (Country Bear Jamboree which was just bad; Enchanted Tiki Room which was cute; Liberty Square Riverboat which was cool). My Love said Disney World is like comfort food and he's right. It just makes you feel good to be there and you're just instantly happier and in a better mood. I got the cute Squirt pin that just came out and traded for two others. Ate a really yummy chocolote-dipped Mouse Ears rice crispy treat. Rode Big Thunder Mountain twice - once in the day and once at night (and it was even cooler at night since it felt faster because you couldn't see as much. Watched Wishes (the amazing 14 minute fireworks spectacular). Had a great day.

My poor face though is slightly scortched despite wearing sunscreen and sunglasses both days and a hat Sunday. I'm just oversunned. Ugh. For me, because I'm so sun sensitive, being oversunned means I'm not feeling all that well. My face has that windburnt feeling where it's really chapped and the skin itself feels really hot - like my cheeks are running a fever. I keep touching them with my hands since they're much cooler then my face is. My poor eyes are tired from all the bright light despite my sunglasses. It was just physically a hard couple days for me despite the fact that it was enjoyable to get out and have fun like that. My poor arm and stomach even rashed from the sun exposure and the sunscreen itself (my skin reacts badly to things on it when in the sun. but if I don't put sunscreen on, I get extremely badly burned - I've had 2nd degree burns from very minor exposure to the sun, let alone walking around all day in it.) A little of my hydrocortisone cream though and it calmed down. Yes, I am indeed living in the wrong state for having sun allergies of the skin and hyper light sensitivity with my eyes.

So....physically beat, and a little rough around the edges, but emotionally in a good mood from having fun this weekend.
