10/02/04 Antigua Cruise

[cdnmickeylover]

Happy Birthday Kathy!!!

Didn't receive the mailed DCL excursion information but that's ok as I did get a form from DU. Can't wait to book tomorrow. Makes the cruise seem that much closer!

Renee -- any t-shirts yet? Amazingly bad service.

We were clipping our back hedge yesterday. We want to take it out eventually and replace it with raspberries which we have in the corner of the yard and which are already growing into the hedge. It's a lot of work though.

Day off today but have to drive DS back to his base 2.5 hours north one way. Should be exciting.

Take care everyone!

Fiona

yesterday was a bad day......spent most of it in the ER passing kidney stones.......not much fun at all. I am just SO THANKFUL it happened yesterday and not this coming weekend when I'm hoping to be sailing on the Magic with all my family. That would not be a good thing. I still have a few small stones present, but as long as I drink lots of water I should be fine. They gave me some meds to take with me in case I have another "episode" but if I take those I can't have any alcohol.......You KNOW I'll be drinking LOTS of water, since i do not want to give up my conch coolers! Funny thing is, the worst part about yesterday was that I kept thinking "I need to get out of here and get the gift for my secret cruise buddy!" Now it's tops on today's agenda!

I saw "Manchurian Candidate" on Saturday before all this nonsense started. What an awesome movie! I'm looking forward to seeing "The Village" on the ship.

Happy belated birthday, Kathy!

Okay...you got me! What is "Lawrence of Antigua"?

Jeanne -- Kidney stones! Wow, how bad was the pain? What a bummer! But, you are right -- thank goodness, this didn't happen when you were on the cruise next week. Have you had them before? Good luck! That's why I am so glad I had my gall bladder out in April. Wouldn't want to have an attack while on the cruise.

Nope, no shirts yet. The tracking number shows they're still in California even though the ETA is today. Since they were supposed to be delivered on Saturday, I'll be amazed if I ever get them.

I'll let everyone know if they show up.

Jeanne,
now I'm sure that you can't sneak up on me on the ship or at Serenity Bay: The rattling of the stones will give you away
No more kidding: We'll keep your fingers crossed for you that they are gone and that you can enjoy your warm-up cruise.

BTW, Conch Cooler is my favourite cocktail on the ship, too and Anja also loves it - Perhaps we can do some 'Extreme Cocktailing' one night

Enjoy your day off
I had to think of you when I tore off yesterday's page from my 'Car & Driver' Day-to-Day-Calendar and today's page showed 'Civic Holiday/Canada'.
Our next holyday is 3rd of October/Reunification Day which is unfortunately a Sunday. And as we don't have that American rule granting us a free Monday if the holiday falls on a weekend, we're cheated out of it. Nevertheless we could celebrate it on the ship

For Kathy with a "K"!

I must say that his monsoon season we are having, I mean summer (NOT) is getting to me. It has rained or thunderstormed for most of the days since the end of May. It was so darn humit at my house yesterday that my rugs felt wet! Then there was the thunder that had AshLee freaking out ... I want OCTOBER and I want it NOW!

Sorry I wasn't able to e-mai out the logos for those that asked but everytime I had a minute to get on the computer it was lightning and with the luck I had in July, I wasn't tempting fate. So maybe tonite I'll be able to send them out!

Twinave and @goofynut- Where do you get those Happy Birthday pictures? They are really neat.

 

[dsncruise lover]

We hit the 60 day mark today. Just think in 60 days we will be on the Magic. Everybody do the 60 day mark cheer.

58 til we hit Fla...

 

[Twinave]

discruiselover; I'll send you a link to smiles via e-mail.

jeanneg; so sorry about the stones, hope you are feeling better. The Village was GREAT! Bring a blanket to hide under.

Disneybride96; I have a date with Lawrence, but don't tell DH. Just kidding. I have no idea what that is.

piglett; no Zazzle for me. Ever!

Boss lady got back to the office today....busy day. So didn't get a chance to mail my cruise gift. But will do it tomorrow for sure.

Just two months to go!


Later, Avé

 

[Twinave]

discruiselover....send me your e-mail address.

dsncruise lover: sorry to be the bearer of bad news but tomorrow is actually the 60 day mark since Aug has 31 days.......!!!

I'm feeling fine now, just as if nothing had ever happened. Thanks for the well wishes. This is actually my 4th episode with kidney stones. The first was at 16, then once in my mid-thirties, and then again about a year ago. Aside from my very first attack, I was always able to manage at home and avoid the hospital, but yesterday I kept thinking that I couldn't be sick for the cruise and decided I really needed to be seen. The funny thing is that by the time the physician finally got around to seeing me, it was all over. I still had to hang around for another 3 hours to go to radiology and get all the reports back. And to make it even worse, hubby is on staff at that particular hospital! Must remember to avoid city ERs on weekends at all costs.........!!

And just for the record, Eric, my creaking joints are probably alot more audible than a bunch of stones! Then again, I'd never do my own dirty work........ Those years in NJ taught me to always hire a "hit" man. If I were you, I'd be very cautious on CC!

Never hurts to start early. I countdown the days by the hours instead of days. So today, Monday, before 5 we had 61 days and from 5pm on we had 60. Tomorrow, Tuesday, we will have 60 days until 4:59pm and at 5pm we will have 59days until 4:59 on Wed. So furth and so furth. So for me its 60 days today. I understand if its confusing but it isnt to me. i have put alot of thought into it. You can ask my mom.

 

[dsncruise lover]

Twinave- Sent you my e-mail address via pm.

 

[jeanneg]

dsncruise lover: OK, now i get it....you're just choosing to ignore any minutes that amount to less than a full day.......by that definition, yes, we have hit the 60-day mark! And I bet you always see the glass as "half full"........!!!!!

I guess you can put it that way.

That's why I want to do the Waverunner-thing on CC: The perfect vehicle for swift attacks
