Hello, dumplings. I have decided to crash here.
Natter 39 and Holding
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Looks like I better get the shutters up. I'll decide tomorrow if we evacuate. My sister, brother, niece and nephew are on the west coast of Florida so they will either come and stay with me, or maybe we'll all leave. Yikes.
Oh I hope you don't need to evacuate, Laura. I can't remember the Hurricane names getting this far down in the alphabet, before. I'm sure they have and I was just not paying attention, but it really just needs to stop it!
Also, insent of the gmail-caught-you-in-my-spam-filter variety.
Happy Birthday, Burrell!!
Happy Birthday, Calli!!
Poor sick Zmayhems.
Good luck with Wilma, Laura.

Nope -- this year is the first time they've run out of alphabet.

Not recently, and not much -- I think there was a W once in the 60s or something. The weather man here was saying yesterday how this year was tying the record both for named storms and for hurricanes. And then he told us how that means that those are the only times we've had that many. Um, do people not know what "tied the record" means??

It's the first time they've gotten down this far since 1933 or something.
HAPPY BIRTHDAYS!!!
I was late to work. oh well. Thank dog the pantry at work got re-stocked, I was able to breakfast in house for $0. Whee!
I forgot to pack my DVDs, but I think I can manage to get back to my place and pick them up on the way to the airport.
This season now shares the record for the most hurricanes in one season with 1969. On Monday, Wilma became the season's 21st named storm, tying the seasonal record first set in 1933.
I was close, but no cigar.
Laura, I hope it turns out to be nothing. Or at most a wimpy rainstorm.
The cat decided to use me as a springboard, with claws, at 5:13 am. Then I had a hard time falling back to sleep. Then I had ooky dreams. Around 6 I woke myself up laughing because in my dreams I was having ooky dreams and thought I really needed something to laugh at. And so something was provided (now that I remember, it wasn't funny. It was a bottle of handlotion) and I laughed in the dream dream (still following?) and that made me laugh in my dream and it woke me up again.
What in the hell did I ingest yesterday?
My cat decided to suck on my sleeve and knead my arm at 3:00 am. I do not quite know what to do about the sucking habit. Websites say it is a comfort for the kitty, but frankly, the kneading hurts. The suggestion is to get the kitty to knead something other than me, but I am sure warm arm feels better to knead than blanket.
I never went back to sleep, even after kicking the cat out of the room.
