  Me again!! :-) Here it is ... 7:00 a.m. and I'm home ... no school today. I doubt there will be school tomorrow. I have extra food in case the refrigerator dies. I have extra batteries for my radios and flashlights. To my mother's horror I even have candles. I even turned my fridge and freezer to the coldest settings so that the food will last longer if the power goes out. I am working on finishing everything that I might need electricity to do (laundry, e-mail, update the blog, etc. ) I will finally (hopefully! ) finish unpacking from urlLink my trip to Alaska (FINALLY!! ) I'm thinking about trying some before and after photographs to document the storm ( urlLink yes, I play at being a photographer ) and I'm watching the weather on the television.
I'm sure that there will be enough light in my bright living room & dining room during the daylight hours even if the power goes out to do some reading and stitching. SOOOOO.... I should be all set to ride it out. Oh ... and just to make sure we all understand this: if we are out of school BOTH today AND tomorrow ... we will have used up ALL of our snow days.
That means that if there are other snow days during the school year (like in the winter actually! ), we'll have to make up the days or the time later. UGH!!!!!!!!!!! I just heard on the news that the local governments in North Carolina made an eeire request of the residents of the Outer Banks who are defying the evacuation order: They are to write their names on their forearms in permanent marker. Eeesshhh!!! And ... on that lovely note ... enjoy!! urlLink Ride the storm out !!! (Yeah, I'm a child of the 80's!!!!
)
