So I checked with my special weather contact and got the "how long have you lived here, you know it is too early to make predictions" lecture.
But anyway....looks like it is heading up the East coast and this morning reports have it weakening.
So Maroo and Sharon should have a great time in the World.
I keep having that scene from The Fellowship of the Ring flash in my mind- you know that one when Gandalf says to the Balrog-- 'YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!" 
1 MORE DAY!!!!!!!!! 
3 DAYS!!!!!
That is right folks... Friday night I will be in DISNEY WORLD!!!
I can't wait! I am getting more excited each and every day. I also can't wait to get home and tell you guys all about it. It has the potential to be an awesome trip!
I do have a prayer request before I go, though.
I had a doctor's appointment today because I continue to have these "spells" where I am feeling really sickly. This has been much worse over the past two weeks - so we thought it was appendicitis or something. But - we now think it is a kidney stone.
I have a history of kidney stones and we know I have 2 waiting to pass. Historically I have had very long hospital stays due to complications from kidney stones, but have not had one in quite a while.
This makes sense - as they usually pass when I am dehydrated and I have not been drinking as much water since I was staying at Rachel's house. They have Diet Coke and I would rather drink that! I tend to drink more Propel when I am at my house.
Anyway...long story short. I have antibiotics to take on my trip. Some anti-nausea medicine and a little pain meds. But if it actually starts to pass on my trip - that would be very crummy! So please pray for me - for good health on my trip! I can deal with the rest after I get home.
I am feeling better in the past day or so because I have been drinking a lot more water. So, the plan is to drink lots of water on my trip and take it easy.
Sharon has had a very hard week...just starting her doctorate program and school started - so we are both sorta planning a very relaxed trip to Disney! So that is good!
3 Days!!!!!
I love it so far - from the stuff I have done just around here and in PA. But the real test will be in Disney!!
Thanks......
And has anyone seen this?
Nicely executed, my friend

Actually, I haven't. I don't pay any attention to that kind of stuff. Even before we leave. Because you never know, that project path could change twenty times in the next three days.
hmmm - ok Lord as we look at the map - I know YOU have the power to blow that storm away from Florida!! Praise be to God!!
My brother is in Houston, not me... I'm in the cold frozen north - near Chicago!!
Kidney Stones -My first born DS btdt...
Lemonade increases the levels of citrate in your urine, and citrate helps prevent stone formation. Avoid the powdered lemonade mix - the frozen is just fine or liquid lemonade is fine! Drink at least 8 - 16 ounces a day!!
There was also stuff about diet - calcium is fine - drink your milk, eat your yogurt and cheeses!!
Prayers for Maroo. A safe trip and no kidney stones. As for Erika...looks like it is going up the East coast. I'll ask my special weather connection this evening and let you know what he says.

And wow Tropical Storm Erika, hmmm, my sister must be stirring up trouble again(her name is EriKa, I don't see Erika with a K very often, so got a chuckle out of that)
I was coming to tell Maroo that too!!
Keep it movin Dear Father up the East Coast Way ( the open water pathway!)
See, I'm not the only one that gave you lemon juice advice. Was it Skype I told you that on? Sandy's right on here!
I really, really hope this storm "does not pass your way", like your stones.
Now, go pack!
Bunch of passing here!TIME FOR SOME SERIOUS DANCING!!!!!!
Have a great trip! Can wait to hear about all your surprises!
prayers for peace!!
Hey Girl! You will soon be in Disney World!!!!!!
I hereby forbid you to encounter any hurricanes, tropical depressions or anything related and I forbid you to have any hospital visits or kidney stone stuff going on! (Was that convincing?) Make sure you take Sandy, TK and Liesa's advice to be safe.
I am so excited for you and Sharon and I cannot wait to hear all about your trip! Have a wonderful time!!! Make sure you text or call me once so I can live vicariously through you (how did you like that big word Liesa?)!
Thanks for the podcast advice! I hope to start downloading a few to my iphone.
Mary
