We got power yesterday afternoon, so that’s a relief. None of our food went bad that we can tell. Last night we went out for Mexican food, and then spent a nerdy evening reinstalling the OS on both of our desktop computers. Mike’s excited because the computer I gave him has a hyperthreaded processor, and [...]

We lost power last night. It’s still out. A tree fell on the power line and exploded a transformer. I had to come to work this morning in wrinkly clothes and with wet hair. Luckily the water heater (I hate it when people call it a “hot water heater.” You don’t heat hot water.) still [...]

I should write rants more often, I guess. It got a lot of response! Yesterday after work I went to Applebee’s with the girls for drinks and appetizers. I had a mudlslide (mmmmm) and we shared some spinach/artichoke dip. Then Mike and I went with his parents to the Ellis Marsalis, Jr. concert. It was [...]

We’re back in Florida, just in time for Ivan to show up. *sigh* I sort of left for Missouri last week abruptly and didn’t explain a lot so let me now… I decided not to fly because Mike decided he wanted to go, and we couldn’t take the puppy on the plane. We left about [...]

Well I’m in Missouri. We got here at about 3:30 local time on Saturday. It was a loooong (12 hour) drive, but it went fine. The puppy only puked once. LOL We spent the first few days nervous, watching the Weather Channel, hoping our apartment and Florida family would be okay. My husband’s parents’ neighborhood [...]

Ok this hurricane sucks. Hurricanes in general suck. Just two weeks ago we were preparing for Charley and now this stupid b**** Frances is coming. I was supposed to fly out of Jacksonville this coming Saturday afternoon (for my planned-for-months Missouri vacation), but I just changed it to tomorrow evening instead to try and beat [...]

So the hurricane missed us! Wooo hooooo. Ken and Yves ended up finding the ELT sometime today while I was at work. I’ve got to get up in the morning and take the van back to Jacksonville, and the Group Commander says he’ll take me back home. They’ve got a mission base set up at [...]

Ok so there’s a hurricane coming. Tampa’s going to get hit pretty hard (my mom checked on Keith and Aunt Katie – they’re fine), but it’s going to hit here too. Mike’s out getting water and dog food, etc. I’m at work, taping up windows, putting plastic on equipment, moving documents to inner offices. It’s [...]
