Hunker Down

Hurricane Irene is headed our way. I have been through many many hurricanes and tropic storms. Most notably was Hugo, a category 5 storm that hit South Carolina in 1989. I remember sleeping on the floor with my parents away from the windows. Irene is looking very destructive and we are taking this very seriously. With no plans to evacuate yet, Maq and I are stocking up. Bottled water, canned goods, flashlights, batteries, peanut butter and bread. We also have a good emergency spot in the building. Now that we have the serious business out of the way, moving on to something a little more fun.

Maq and I have had plans (long before Irene came into the picture) to have his sister and brother-in-law over for brunch on Saturday. It will be our little hurricane party. We will be having bellinisfrench toast, and bagels with cream cheese and lox while praying for little damage and hoping for the best. Wishing you all a safe and lovely weekend.
