So I finally worried myself to sleep this morning around 5am. I could still get a good 3 hours in before I had to be up for work. But then it started raining and the wind was blowing real good and it woke me up around 7. That peaked my attention, so I couldn't go back to sleep. Called work... they were stil running. Everyone in the bakery ( Read more... )

Soooo... mom left me a dreary sounding message telling me to call her back at 2am when she got back to work (those wonderful Waffle House shifts). I just called. She said Nana had told Uncle Tom she would call him today. But of course, she hasn't. So Mom and Uncle Tom both have been calling all the Red Cross shelters and she said they can't ( Read more... )

Stay safe Jeannette!!! *hugs*

August 13, 2004 -Governor Mark Sanford today declared a State of Emergency in South Carolina (effective 6:00 p.m. EDT) and ordered a mandatory evacuation of Horry and Georgetown counties (also effective 6:00 p.m. EDT) as a result of sudden changes in the projected path of Hurricane Charley that were forecasted just ( Read more... )

Ooo... just thought of a slight money "maker"... I ended up buying a 10-pack of those yellow LIVESTRONG bracelets from WearYellow.com.

If your wrist ( Read more... )

ughhh... okay so it's been almost a full day with this ridiculously excruciating headache. It DID go away for ABOUT an hour, but it came back. On top of it all, I have the hiccups now too, which I can't seem to shake, and my hair tucked behind my ears is REALLY making my ears hurt which is further contributing to my headache, so I've opted to ( Read more... )

It's been awhile, eh ( Read more... )

There's been a bit more rain today. It's pretty muggy outside too. The heat index is around 99 degrees. And it's fairly humid. So it's kinda like walking into a bathroom of someone taking a hot shower. But you know me... I'm loving it.

So I like the idea of documenting the hurricane season. I live on the coast... we see some pretty wacky weather through the summer/fall. I always keep up to date on the Hurricane Tracker website provided by one of the local news stations, but I think it'll be cool to keep track in my journal so I remember what went down ( Read more... )
