Good morning all! Welcome back to everybody who was traveling!
I feel sorry for all of you with those temps way over 100! Yikes! CRIKEY! (We've been watching the Crocodile Hunter movie a bunch--Tyler's first exposure to Steve Irwin).
We had some rain come through overnight and after that my migraine went away. It's crazy, but after somebody at work pointed out to me that some people's migraines are linked to weather, I started keeping track of it and sure enough, when I get a whopper of one, a day or no more than 2 days later there's a change in weather. Crazy, huh?! People have told me the change in pressure in the air does that, sort of like how people with arthritis can tell you a day or 2 ahead of weather change. And my dad's dog used to act squirrelly the day before a storm and the vet said it was the same reason. Strange! But whatever the reason, my migraine is gone!
We slept until 9:30am!!!! Tyler tried waking me up at 6am, but I told him just lie down with me for a minute and fortunately he fell back asleep for 3 1/2 more hours.
I asked my doc for muscle relaxers and she told me no since I don't get migraines too often anymore with the stuff I take to prevent them. Bummer. She's never really accepting to anything I say. Usually barely talks to me. Quite often when the appointment is done, she just walks out and it takes me a couple minutes to realize, "Oh, I guess we're done."
Well, the parade starts in an hour, so we're headed out soon!Have a great day everybody!
Mix and match skirts and tops with different jewelry makes different outfits!

Perhaps the black skirt will also do for the pirate night with appropriate white blouse and jewellery!!!
I don't think we will be too piratey though.Good morning all! Welcome back to everybody who was traveling!

That is what I am hoping folk think!!!
I may just try and get a little black dress, but I don't seem to have much luck finding dresses that suit me.
Will also need a couple of bigger sized items to cope with the end of cruise bulges!!!
Our sons went to Spring Garden Elementary--the older one for the end of 5th grade and the younger for the end of 1st up to 5th. Then East Hills Middle School. The older one graduated from Freedom High School, Moravian College and got a Masters from Lehigh University--he is the one who got engaged on the WONDER and married on Fire Island in May. The younger made it to the end of 7th at East Hills and then we put him in Bethlehem Christian School because his unique perspective on the world and IQ (marches to a different drummer geek type kid) got him singled out for abuse from other kids at public school.
Just think--we might have been in the grocery store at the same time. SMALL WORLD

VERY small world and getting smaller all the time....Tom and Kris DGS's started kindergarden in Spring Garden Elementary. They were living with us at the time. We could have passed each other by at any point along the way.
So, when we have our first face-to-face if we look familiar to each other at least we know WHY!!

One of my outfits is a Mexican blouse from MEXICO at EPCOT and a white shirt made in tiers (actually from India and bought at Walmart but it looks Mexican).
To make it Mexican I wear Navaho Indian jewelry, a tie sash from Guatamala and use a Mexican blanket as a wrap.
To make it Caribbean I wear it with shell jewelry from the Polynesian Luau at WDW and other sources. I use a swim wrap as shawl.
For Pirate night I put a red vest and long black skirt over top of it. I hitch up the black skirt on one side to expose the white shirt like an under skirt or slip. The swim wrap goes around the waist, droopy on one side like an apron hitched up on one side. I have a wig I got--goodness knows where--that is long and black so I wore that in September with a pirate night bandana as a head band. I have some earrings that are skeletons--available at a bead and jewelry making store near me and the rest of my jewelry was old coins and old-looking beads on various old-looking chains--LAYERS of necklaces, bangle bracelets and a bunch of rings on many fingers.
A nice white lace blouse or shimmery fabric blouse and different jewelry makes the black long skirt into a formal night outfit. I do have a little black dress, A-line so it fits throughout the cruise (usually) so that goes for semi-formal night since it is knee length. Again--two sets of jewelry.
All outfits go with sandals, even the formal and semi formal ones--some nice black flat sandals--so I pack two or three pair of sandles and maybe one pair of sneakers but often do not wear them.
We need one suitcase for our Pirate outfits because DH has a Captain's outfit I made since he did not want to be a scruffy pirate. It has a crushed blue velvet long coat, britches, homespun shirt. One time he wore it with sandals and other time with loafers on which we made silver buckles out of duct tape. I wish I could find him nice pirate boots that were not too expensive or hard to pack.
We almost need another suitecase for our snorkeling stuff as we always bring out own. The rest of our clothes have to fit in the other bags. We have never done a two week trip so this will be interesting. We did do a week in London and Hagley for our niece's wedding in 2001 and had one carry-on sized piece of luggage each.

Time for a second opinion or change of doctors?
Jan
Edited to say: You already answered this question before I read it. Here's pixie dust that you get an empathetic MD this time!
I hope the next one is better too! But I've lived with the migraines for close to 30 years, so I'm quite used to it. And with the preventative stuff, it's really only about once every 2 or 3 months that one comes that completely debilitates me. But I'll be really relieved to graduate and get a full-time job with insurance so I can have more choices. In the meantime, I can deal with a couple more years of what I'm used to dealing with.Good riddens!!!! Hope the next one is better!
