No out of town hurrication for us. We DO have the day off from work. Darn you JT for wanting another long weekend like Labor Day. This gives a whole new meaning to Labor Day!! Boarding windows, moving patio furniture, buying water/supplies!! I think I’d rather go to work.
I spent 30 hellacious minutes at HEB grocery store yesterday. Wow it was crazy. I decided that people either had one of two coping/preperation strategies: either buy tons of water or tons of beer. I saw cases of both. I opted for the water, but starting second guessing myself the longer I stayed in there!
To my non-Texas friends and fam- we’re pretty far inland from Galveston (about 90 miles) are supposed to get 4-8 inches of rain and sustained winds up to 80 mph. We’re just boarding to be on the safe side. Hopefully the worst thing we’ll encounter is no electricity. I am not looking forward to that part! Luckily, we do have a generator to power the fridge and a fan- maybe even the laptop to watch some movies!
This is our second hurricane in Texas (RIta was Sept of 2005). One of my fave memories from that crazy experience was propping up our laptop on the hood of JT’s Durango in the driveway, setting out our lawn chairs and watching “Meet the Fockers” on our version of a Drive-way (in) movie!!
I will keep you posted!

update- Friday at 7 pm-
All of the windows are boarded up. It was pure torture and test of the solidarity of our marriage. 
We’ve cranked down the a/c to 68 degrees and are not looking forward to losing electricity whenever that comes. My neighbor told me earlier today that we’re not on the same power grid as the hospital and city officials, so it will be off for a while when it goes out. We live in the black hole of Lake Conroe.
I’ve just ordered a pizza from Domino’s right before they closed. Eating good before its sandwich time! haha
No rain yet but the wind has definitely picked up and I don’t like the way the trees in my back yard are “dancing”. alrighty…its pizza time
So how’d you guys make out? Everybody survive the madness?
