Go msbelle!

Yeah, I didn't buy any gallons of anything, but maybe I'll fill a pitcher with water? I really don't think anything bad is going to happen in my neighborhood.

Yeah, this is me. Though I bought booze, gas and shampoo last night. But that was on the list. I mean, if we end up on a boil water order, my stove is gas. I'll fill up my waterbottles, but I do that anyway. And make sure the cats' dishes are fresh. And I have neighbors.

Plants are in the basement, deck furniture folded up to bring in later. Need to do the porch furniture before the winds start.

There are no D batteries to be found here. But I've got batteries for all but that one flashlight, so whatever. I do not want to lose power. I brought my work laptop home since this one's battery lasts about 5 minutes. At last resort, I have a dialup number I can use.

Looks like we're having a hurricane party tomorrow night. Whee!

I don't bother peeling the tomatoes for that sauce - they fall apart to the point where you can just fish the skins out with a fork when you're taking out the onion.

Ooh, smart. That's easier than the blanch-and-peel, which is still pretty easy.

We have plenty of groceries. We didn't buy water, but I don't really think we'll need it. I just want to get through my grandmother's service without anyone floating away.

Yeah, I don't bother peeling tomatoes for that type of thing, but then, I like tomato skin, so...

In my news about me, there are seven hummingbirds simultaneously feeding, a new record. No sign yet of the contentious rufous hummingbirds; these are all Anna's, as far as I can tell.

So I started using Noom. I liked how easy it was to track my food. And then today it told me I had fifteen minutes until my workout started. I was all buzzah? But I am easily cowed, so I went out walking like it said. Only it never told me how long I was supposed to walk, so I went for forty five minutes. Now I'm hungry.

I have my fingers crossed for all the hurricanistas.

My mother is having a picnic tomorrow We shouldn't see much more than storms in upstate NY, but still odd to be having a picnic. And she just emailed me to tell me the only soap she has is Irish Spring, and so if I need soap I need to bring it with me. I don't plan to be showering there.

where can I yak on about old seasons of Eureka?

I just made tomato sauce from scratch!

Share your wisdom with me!

This makes me laugh! "What? Workout? Oh, OK, computer!" And go you, because that's a nice walk.

Here or Boxed Set?

Well, bollocks. I took yesterday off sick (sinus infection) and today was my regular day off. And then I went to a retirement party and didn't remember to log in to do my timecard until 4:30 PM.

And I couldn't log in. The system recognizes me, but not entirely, and nobody is answering their email, because they're all on the east coast.

... there's some chance I won't get paid for this week. Yikes!

ION, drinking 2 margaritas at 4 pm is a really good way to get NOTHING ELSE DONE the rest of the day.
