Ike might make Houston his Tina!

[empressmonique]

We've got a hurricane on the way! I grew up in Houston, so I'm the last person who'll freak out and evacuate over a category 2 or 3 hurricane, but preparations are in order nonetheless! (Really it's just an excuse to buy Gardettos, lol.) We're expecting some flooding, but we're going to stick it out. I know it's morally wrong (whatever), but I adore storms. I used to pray for them when I was a kid. Of course I hate that people are harmed by hurricanes, but I can't stop that, so I just get all geared up and hope that we get a moderately exciting storm without casualties. You know, a happy medium, like the electricity going out so you have to light candles and eat weird combinations of canned food/snack food and just listen to mother nature rage all around you, but still safe in your home with a roof and a bed that hopefully isn't floating by that time. Oh Texas weather, I've missed you!!!

P.S. Storms all weekend = romance. ;)
