Hello All,
Merry Week to all of you. Our week? Well, funny you should ask...
Jeff celebrated his birthday this week by SCUBA diving for the first
time in Belize. And a big group of people from Kansas who loved Jeff
surrounded our table at dinner and sang the Birthday Song to him. I
decorated the cabin with balloons and we sang karaoke.
That was Christmas Eve. And now, my Christmas...
As you all know, I am a Christmas FANATIC. I love for the lights, the
carols, and the general spirit of the season.
I expected an unusual Christmas this year with being on a boat in the
middle of Mexico with only Jeff. So I planned ahead by decorating our
cabin with all of your cards (thank you), and lots of Mexican holiday
novelties that I purchased these last few weeks, most especially a
kitschy Mexican nativity to make us feel bright. Through out the week
we watched childhood xmas movies to fill our spirits. We held out on
opening up packages from my sisters and mom, we waited to watch videos
(thank you Lauren and Andy) from our “LA family”. I even wrote a
couple of Christmas sketches that got approved to be in the big
Christmas show on the Ship. I had covered all of my bases so I would
be feel the holiday cheer.
That is until the night before Christmas, Christmas Eve, Jeff’s
birthday – just after dinner... I started coughing and feeling so
ill. By Christmas morning I could barely muster up the energy to open
presents or drink cocoa. After visiting the ship’s doctor, I was
QUARENTINED to my cabin for TWENTY-FOUR HOURS! I had an upper GI
infection and bronchitis for which I have to use an inhaler.
Getting better. Shows continue to be great! Met some parents from Agoura High School Improv Team who recognized me from the Summer
Camp.
I look forward to New Year's Eve and next year's Christmas! love you
all. Keep writing.
