...and Toto too!

Thought I'd share some thoughts with you while I wait out the Tornado sirens in my basement. The dogs came with me, but God love her, the cat just wasn't having it. Chances of death by tornado here are slim. I am far more concerned about the trees falling into the house or flash flooding. Still, I'm a bit of a wuss when it comes to these threats. I am always the precautious one, while everyone else celebrates with a beer on the porch, waiting for Dorothy, I'd prefer a flashlight and some bottled water in a bunker. I figure the one time I really give in to my storm chaser desires I'll actually end up whisked away and dropped dead somewhere in Greenland.

Funny, I suppose, is the truth that my personality is by nature cautious, yet extremely curious. For instance, I'd love to be the one traveling INTO Louisiana for a hurricane party. But you better have a great view AND an open road out before it all goes to hell. Speaking off, my yard, a very nice double lot, looks like the dead marshes. I would describe it as a Category 5 crapstorm.

No sirens for a couple minutes, guess it's time to head back upstairs. If I see a funnel cloud I'll let you know.

Down and Out

Hey guys, been a few days. Sorry to those few of you that have already started reading this blog regularly. I was not feeling well on Friday night, and throughout Saturday I felt less than my normal energetic self. Troy and I had made plans to hang out with friends and I had set up a mad spread of bread and cheese and wine. Delicious!
We had been hanging out for perhaps 20 minutes when it hit. Chills, aches, cough. It got worse, but I'll spare you the details. Still wasn't better this morning, so now I've missed 2 days of work and feel like loser. Seems I had some nasty food poisoning and all I can do is drink up the water and Gatorade til it runs its nasty lil' course.
Thanks for all the well wishes on facebook. I have some funny things to share as soon as I'm feeling more inspired and energetic.
