First of all...I promise I will not blog everyday. But how could I resist such an opportunity:) I am born and bred in this wonderful place called North Carolina. I love, love, love (Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice) this place. Our beaches are precious to me and my family. I have gone to them for 38 years and the thought of them damaged and eroded makes me really sad :( HOWEVER........I did have to check myself during my visit to Costco today.
FYI people...we live inland. I know "Greg and Mike" (love 'em both) have told us we will get some wind and one to three inches of rain...but that is no reason to freak out! I was seriously confused and had to take hold of my surroundings. There were people EVERYWHERE! Lining up for gas, lining up for gas for the grill, every line at the front of the store was heaving with people. I'm sure there isn't a drop of water within a 60 mile radius of me! And on my way around the store I spotted Christmas decorations....REALLY??? It is August for goodness sake. Come on cletus! How can we justify buying Christmas stuff now? Don't cha think it takes ALOT away from the true meaning of Christmas if we start it now? Between Costco being at it's maximum capacity and decorations everywhere I was startled to say the least. Anyway....I am a firm believer in being prepared (to the best of your ability) for whatever anyway. Ya'll should already have water, batteries, candles, tarps, gas for everything, important papers etc...Why wait until the last dang minute and have to take the day off work? What do you think my clients would say if I said..."sorry, I have to hit the Costco because if this storm is bad then Ella will starve and we will all stink to high heaven!" Alright, I'm done ranting. Irene is scary. Let's focus on praying for the precious peeps in her path and be thankful that she missed us in the large scheme of things. We have had an otherwise good week..Earthquake and all ;)
Praying for all to be safe and sound!!! Kiss kiss xx
