day 363

Today was the day that "the storm of the century" was supposed to blow through town, and quite frankly, I was unimpressed. I was hoping for today's picture to be of some outrageous weather action, but there was really just a lot of rain and a tiny bit of wind - so much less than I was expecting! We did lose power though, and have yet to get it back, so that's a big drag. But despite all of that I WAS impressed by this delicious dinner I made for Christine and myself! So delish.

day 362

We bought water, candles, and a flashlight. We did an inventory of our non perishable foods. We set the fridge to the coldest temperature and made sure we had enough movies. We were ready for Hurricane Irene, and the first gust of wind hadn't even blown through yet. The only thing left to do was party! Maggie and Jill had a "Tropical Storm" party before we went out on Friday night, complete with pink flamingos and umbrellas in our drinks :)
