Holy crap...how grateful am I that I don't live in Houston anymore! whoooooooooooooo weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Let's get in our time machines and revisit THIS mess for a second? (not katrina but my own personal ptsd regarding hurricanes in the gulf)
Is there anyone else out there who thinks it's not at all a coincidence that there's like, this huge hurricane bearing down on New Orleans, again...right before the Republican National Convention? As if the universe doesn't want us to get all wrapped up in the hoopla of the elections, but wants to remind us of the real nitty-gritty details of what happens to your countrymen when the wrong people are in office?
Right...
In other news...
ALL HAIL LABOR DAY!!! I know, I know, it means the summer is officially over...but for me, it also means that my husband is getting a day off, that we know about before it's upon us. It's one of those downfalls of having a man who works outside...every day it's not raining, he's at work. Which means, we never know when he'll get a day off...even if we're obsessively checking the weather channel (which we do)...AND if he DOES get a day off, it's raining...so it's not like we can go for a picnic, or a walk down by the Mystic... Typically our days off include sleeping late (and by late i mean 8am) and ordering a pizza. Weeeeeee!!!
Right?
So, tomorrow we'll be taking full advantage of this day off with it's beautiful weather. We plan to head down to the Boston Harbor and ferry out to the islands for bbq, hiking, and general merry-making. I might even get myself a kite...
That is, of course, unless we just decide to sleep in and order a pizza...which is pretty awesome too!
p.s. here's a helpful tidbit for those who ever get stuck in a slow moving evacuation...don't be stupid, save your gas, put your car in neutral and PUSH that fucker if you're moving that slowly. You'll thank me later!
