Okay - so I live like 80 miles from the Gulf Coast so we aren't in grave danger. We don't have to worry about storm surge. We do have to worry about 100 mph wind and lots of rain. However - we have gotten everything we needed to done - so I am relaxing with a nice cool beverage.

My neighborhood is mostly staying put. A lot of people boarded up their windows. We have TONS of trees - so the high wind is bound to bring some of them down. We didn't board up - hopefully the trees will miss our windows :-)

I have friends and family that are a lot closer than we are - so I hope they are safe and of course any and all of my Lapband buddies in the area.

But for now, I sit back with a nice glass of Riesling and enjoy all of my handywork. I have been a busy gal.

I hope we don't lose power till close to the end of it all - Eddie can't handle the heat with him MS - so we will end up driving to my parents an hour North if we do. They have dial up - so if we do - you sure won't hear from me for a while :-)

Anyways - I just wanted to give a shout out to my friends in the danger zone and let everyone know we will be hunkered down.

Stay safe, dry and wear lots of hairspray!
