Thanks to Hurricane Jeanne, my restaurant flooded and is temporarily out of business....for a while.
BUT that means more working at the salon. The only thing that sucks is that I'm just about broke and it's rent time. I'm sure my landlord will be understanding.
I must say that I had a great time during and after the hurricane. The night of we went to my sister's house and drank beer and cooked dinner (they had power) Needless to say, we got pretty toasted. Then we were driving back to our house (not far at all) and we got stuck in deep ass water. Not knowing how deep the water was around me, I opened the car door to get out and help push. Water came pouring into Cullen's poor car. Scratch that idea. We somehow managed to crawl out of the car and with the help of some random guy we got it to "shore." Then we started to push our way through the water all the way back to our house (waste deep.) I stumbled upon a curb and fell in the water. Totally destroyed my phone. I couldn't help but laugh. Slept uncomfortably through the night with no A/C.
Monday we put on our shortest shorts and went on the San Marco Blvd river tour.
There was actually some dumb mother fuckers trying to drive through the shit. Even a Mercedes Benz tried to conquer the water.....but failed. Dumb Ass!!
Eventually swam up to dear Jen's house where she had beer chilling in her mop bucket. We decided to make an entire evening of this with at least 3 more trips back to the store for some more beer. After the electricity came back on we cooked some lovely cheeseburgers on Texas toast and green beans. It was fabulous.
Cullen's car is fine. Changed the air filter and steam cleaned the carpet. Poor thing. He was not happy. Nor would I have been.
Thank you hurricane for the good time. Don't come back.
