This post isn't meant to complain about Florida. Unlike my sister, who now lives in Santa Cruz, I love Florida and even though it gets blazing hot, I'd rather have it hot than cold and dreary (not that Santa Cruz is like that).

Anyway, it's been awhile since I've posted anything because we spent a week at the beach with Jason's side of the family. We had a wonderful time and the weather was beautiful pretty much the entire time. Unfortunately, I broke out with sun poisoning the first day I was in the sun. It's not like I was doing the sun worshipping thing either. I was wearing SPF 30 and after a few hours came back inside to discover my chest was covered in red, bug-bite looking bumps. It's really attractive and not to mention incredibly itchy.

I'd like to say that this is the first time this has happened to me, but no, this has been going on for the past five years. I finally got online, like any good wanna be doctor, and found out that I am ALLERGIC TO THE SUN.

Those of you who know me well, also know that I am allergic to shellfish as well. What a great combination for a Floridian...a sun allergy and a shellfish allergy. I am obviously not a native Floridian, but a transplant who apparently belongs where the sun don't shine :)!
