had a chitty chat with mass and mq and jazz last nite
it was a good pick-me-up; lately i've missed talking to everyone and it just really sucks that i need sleep
most people need less sleep as they get older
i find that i need more
why am i always the odd one? can i NEVER fit the mold?
oh well, normal is boring(is it?)(hmmmm)
today we are getting quite a bit of rain from TS Grace, but it has been downgraded to a depression because it is over land now--it went in near houston
i absolutely love rain and t-storms
"Rain, Rain, Stay and Play,
And come again, Every day!"
when i was little i was one of those kids that loved to go outside and play in the rain and stomp in puddles and later make mud pies, which sometimes i ate:)
we have been very lucky here in lake charles---no major hurricane has hit since Audrey in 1957
we've had some tropical storms and such but nothing catastrophic
some have come near like Lili last year---i actually had boarded up my house and was gonna ride it out but it went in a little east of here and spared us thank god
in '92, i evacuated for Andrew, and it went in east of us also
my entire family evacuated to Lufkin Texas, where we stayede at my mother's penpal"s house who was a total angel
she and mom had never actually met, but she invited us all there---we had no where else to go--the nearest available hotel rooms were in missouri! for Lili, my decision to stay was purely due to my babies--i figured if we died, at least we'd be together!
when i saw all the damage that Lili did in Vermillion Parish, i was aghast
we are lucky she didnt choose our area
oh well, it could be worse---i could live in tornado alley
