Tuesday, September 26, 2006Last Night's SunsetThis was what I got to witness on my drive home from work last night: And wouldn't you know it? This morning it is rainy and thundering!

Glad I'm Not Flying Hawaii's Friendly Skies Today!We are being hit by the remnants of a hurricane right now. Lots of rain. Lots and lots of rain. Earlier I was curled up in bed with a book when I heard some thunder. No big deal, right? It's to be expected with this type of weather. Then a few minutes ago I read the local headlines.

But today it's been raining a cold rain, and the temperature right now is 68 degrees! I've had to turn the...

Blew the bathroom door shut early this morning, waking me up. Now it's sucking the vertical blinds out the slightly open screen door. (Door is slightly open so the kitties can get out to get some water and... Sign in to see full entry.Thursday, May 5, 2005Cinco-De-Mayo Schmayo!Today ain't no stinking cinco de mayo! Hell no! It's Boys' Day! Any sane person knows that! Put out the fishy flags and lavish all your boys with love and gifts... as if you don't already!
