Crispy Heather (on a stick)
Redheads don't tan, my faithful minions. We step into the sunlight and burst into flames.
Yesterday I found myself downtown, wearing green, joking with the family about how giant leprechauns had come to take over St. Louis. That's right--the 37th annual St. Patrick's Day parade had come to St. Louis and it was my first to attend. Apart from people asking every five minutes if I'd registered to vote yet, other people handing me religious tracks shaped like shamrocks, and this little brat behind me that couldn't seem to keep his face away from mine (I know I'm lovely, darling, but please...admire me from afar), it was a blast.
But.
See, I'd never dreamed that it would be eighty degrees and sunny in early March. So, naturally, I forgot my sunblock at home. Yeah...ouch. But on the plus side, I did get to see other rennies marching in the parade. And pipers. Can't forget them.
Today will be filled with reading (I've yet to determine what), relaxing, and aloe vera...lots and lots of aloe vera.

Sounds like you had a really good time. You should post some pictures so we can see you in costume.
The Renaissance Faire here is just starting build up (aka pre-faire). We should have a start date sometime in early April... I hope.
Take care of the burns and use loads of aloe vera.
The local faire here begins in May. What a joy! I haven't been in two years, sadly. Utah (gorgeous, wonderful place otherwise) isn't big on faires. *sigh*
Pictures? Hey...I might just do that. :)
