"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

AL, and MO have just prepped me to be all crazy nervous.

I'm watching the press conference from Joplin. NWS changed their rating of the Joplin tornado to an EF5 after determining that there were winds over 200 MPH.

Previously they kept saying 198 MPH, and I was rolling my eyes. Really? You're not going to give them the 2 MPH to make it an F5? Evidently, they recorded it anyway.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I guess I should look at the news and see what is headed here. really don't wanna.

I am spending the night doing job applications. I've been mostly tracking what I've sent out since January and it looks like btw 35-40 that I've sent out. 2 in person interviews and 1 phone interview, 0 offers. bleargh.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I think you're at the very tail of it, msbelle. The worst of it should go north of you.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

I hope that means an offer is just right around the corner, msbelle.

Looks like I only have to be nervous until 11pm Central for Wichita. Then this all starts up tomorrow for all the people east of here. I hope Mother Nature gives Joplin a break. Jesus.

etaa: If anyone had a video camera out they had a good shot of me running after a dauchshund that was loose and panicked and running up and down my street. (Please, God don't let me running go viral) But a black car stopped and a little girl got him. It was too far away from me to ask any questions. I felt better that he had a place out of the rain or was with his owners.

I should go to the gym, but I woke up exhausted and with a sinus migraine that has persisted all day. I just wanna go to bed.

I can't! Well, I can read his post, but not the thread--the webfilter here blocks Disqus.

It shall have to wait until I get home (and walk the dog and have dinner).

It's lightening up here. I'm concerned about the peeps in Oklahoma now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In good news, I just got the cutest packet of thank-you notes from a Donors Choose project! OMG, they are adorable.
