it burns

I'm leaving for a trip to Disney World tomorrow. I'm going with my gal pal Megan. She's really great and I haven't seen her for three years. I'm excited to see her. I'm also excited for Disney World. Going there is a lifelong dream. Hopefully it's not lame and awful. Jeff is going to Utah to meet up with his college buddies while I'm in Florida. It's been awhile since we were apart. I'm just glad we are each taking a trip instead of one of us staying home alone. Part of me wishes I were going to Utah, mainly to see friends, but I made my decision and I know I won't regret it.

Last week I got an e-mail from airfarewatchdog telling me that American Airlines has flights from Houston to New York City for $167 round trip! For this weekend only. What a deal. Too bad I'll be in Disney World.

I've had a weird case of chapped lips for a few weeks now, and they are not getting better. I've tried everything. Absolutely everything. Coconut oil soothes them, lavender essential oil soothes too, Vaseline lotion helps some, but most lip balms just sting and burn. I'm so sick of this. At least they're not chapped anymore. Just red/stinging/burning/dry. I refuse to see a doctor because I'm stubborn and I don't like medicine. It all started a few weeks ago when Jeff and I were swimming a lot. I think that may have had something to do with it, perhaps a sensitivity to the chlorine, or to the bat guano in the water. I'm only guessing there's bat guano, or bat something in the water since one time when we were swimming a bat dove into the pool. It was so gross. And scary. I don't like bats and I sure as heck don't like swimming with them. Anyway my lips and chin are on fire right now and I don't know what to do since I'm at work and didn't bring coconut oil. I brought Vaseline lotion, but that's not helping. Ugh.

Any other suggestions? I feel like I have a diaper rash on my face.

I watched this band play at the iTunes Festival yesterday. Now I'm obsessed. They're coming Houston November 14. Who's in?
