Rita is now officially a hurricane, and is expected to make landfall near Corpus Christi sometime Saturday morning.It looks like very little damage has so far been sustained in Florida. The two places I've worked conferences with AANP have now been hit within a month of eachother by hurricanes; I'm beginning to think that AANP brings wanton

I've missed both your phone calls now... :: pouts :: I will be staying at my Dad's tomorrow night, cause its easier (and safer in my opinion)to leave my car in his driveway instead of in a public lot by my apartment. I'll call you from there once I have everything settled and if I don't reach you I'll just call you some point during the week.

My Dad says that you and Melissa's family, and Tiffany, are no where near the area that the hurricane is expected to hit... But... I'm a huge worry wart, when I heard Texas mentioned on the radio this morning in the same scentence with a hurricane my thoughts went to you guys immediatly. You are all in my thoughts and prayers... Please be safe.

OMG, icon love!!

Yeah, I was mostly just calling to chat, no worries :) But feel free to call back anytime!

I'm not too terribly concerned about Rita -- it's going to hit right in the middle of the Texas coast, but by the time it hits Austin, a good four hours inland by car, it'll have blown itself out for the most part. I'm expecting rain and strong wind, but not anything too terrible where I'm at. I have family closer to the coast and they're coming to stay with my mom, but mostly because they have small children and it sucks to be without power for even a day with kids =/

Thanks for your kind thoughts... it's very much appreciated. I'll keep you updated :)

The icon is awesome ain't it? I got it from the Hufflepuff common room for Hogwarts is Home... http://www.livejournal.com/community/hogwartsishome/

You have to be sorted first but once you are you can join clubs and all kinds of fun things! Naturally I'm a Hufflepuff, Mippa is a Ravenclaw, my friend Mkiero is a Ravenclaw, and my twin is a Gryffindor. Its so much fun! You get house points and there are quidditch matches, and even pranks!

I've got another icon that says "Hufflepuffs...their like ninja's in a way..."

Yeah I know you just called to chat, that made me happy cause the only one to really call my phone is my Dad.

Gah I'm rambiling... Glad to hear that you'll be okay. I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed just in case though... Hope you have a great night!
