Mow betta blues....

Can you guess what I did today? I burned quite a few calories this morning, mowing my lawn. I was told not to by my dh this morning, as it is Betsy's job, but with the bad weather coming this way, if I didn't do it this morning, it wouldn't get done till Monday. We are supposed to be getting some of Bonnie's effects this afternoon in the form of thunder storms, and Charley will hit us even worse about 12 hours after that....that is if he stays on course. All I know is there is a gorgeous breeze out there, and it's been "cool" for the past two days. (Cool as in 80 instead of 90, and very little humidity).

Good 'ol Jeb has declared a "statewide weather emergency", which means they run the little warnings across the bottom of the tv screen every few minutes. "Stock up on batteries, flashlights, food and water." Seems to me if we are getting a hurricane, we should have plenty of water....dh moved the boat to the side of the house, and although I don't care for it, in a few days I might be glad we have it! LOL....we have our hurricaine shutters ready to go if we need them, and the generator is all gassed up. Frankly, I think we should leave tomorrow for the Carolinas and not look back....but, alas, we can not. Dang it.Of course, the Carolinas are in the path of it too....so I don't know what good that would do.

I'm sure that they will be going over some basic hurricane safety with the kids at school, which should sufficiently freak wee one out. She hasn't said much about it yet....but you know the closer the storms get, the more likely it is she will catch on. Hmmmm, maybe I should put an extra refil of my anxiety medication on my hurricane preparedness list....

I have to grocery shop tomorrow....oh joy. I've got my sales flyer right here. Let's peruse the deals....shall we? Okay, here's grapes for 99 cents a pound, 12 pack Pepsi products 3/$8, or perhaps buy 1 get one free Loreal shampoo....not bad. I was shocked at the prices of food when we first moved here. Up home I could buy a cake mix for .89, while here they are $1.89. Ridiculous! You definately have to wait for sales if you want to bake....well, that or make it from scratch. Which, when it comes to cakes, I usually don't.

I finally got my desk cleaned and organized....go me! I had an entire garbage bag of shredded insurance policies and such when I was finished. I keep opening the drawers to admire my work....how sick is that?

Okay, I've done all the writing I should for now. I have to get going....the bathroom doesn't clean itself you know....
