The gas stations have lines wrapped around the corners and the grocery stores have empty shelves. This morning when I was taking Mia to preschool you could just feel the nervous energy in the traffic. (And man was there traffic) Usually, by 9:00 most of the commuters are gone and it's just us stay at home moms on the road. But today everyone was out and about.
David is prime-ing the generator and we are stocking up on water, Just in case......
and I'm considering a new shoe purchase...
but I'm not sure I have the outfit to go with it......
And finally here's a little top 10 list to take us into the weekend.
Top Ten Reasons Hurricane Season is Like Christmas
10. Decorating the house (boarding up windows).
9. Dragging out boxes that haven't been used since last season (campinggear, flashlights).
8. Last minute shopping in crowded stores.
7. Regular TV shows pre-empted for "specials".
6. Family coming to stay with you.
5. Family and friends from out-of-state calling.
4. Buying food you don't normally buy ... and in large quantities.
3. Days off from work.
2. Candles. and . . . .
1. And the number one reason Hurricane Season is like Christmas . . . At some point you know you're going to have a tree in your house!
I'll update again as soon as we can. You know along with the deep freezer the computer will be the second most important appliance to plug into the generator.

You had me in stitches! That list is great! We may be landlocked here in Colorado but we had our fair share of evacuations during our Florida years. Steve actually got locked out of the house during Hurricane Erin right as the worst was going over. We tried to run from Opal but the road flooded and we slept on the floor of the local national guard armory. We had a vacation planned in Panama City Beach immediately after the hurricane came aground there. The beachfront hotel pool wasn't exactly usable for swimming but was great fun for playing kind of the mountain (of sand, concrete and rebar). We'll be returning soon to get our mei-mei. Wish we could've traveled with you again. We'll toast you as we enjoy Danny's Bagel. The Spragues from TG104
