I Don't Wanna!!

As I watch the weather channel and stalk the National Hurricane Center website I feel like a little kid having a tantrum. I don't wanna evacuate!!!! We are on alert and the space center is preparing to shut down with everyone instructed to wrap their computers before they leave for the long weekend. M wants me to leave for my parents house in the Austin area on Saturday. He is going to board everything up and join us on Sunday. I think that we need to wait and see what this thing does. That's a lot of work for something that probably won't hit us.

I actually have a decent weekend planned. Saturday I plan on working around the house and Sunday they are opening a new Lush store at the mall!! I love their stuff, but I usually have to get it through the mail (expensive since it ships from Canada) and I can't order it in the summer because it will melt. So, this is a good thing. Plus, there will be free stuff. FREE STUFF. Why do we need to leave???

Oh, right.

I joke about it, but I really hope it loses some steam. I would hate to see any loss of life or property. It's just one more reason why I want to get out of this area.

Hi there! Just checking in to say hello (I know it has been awhile). I hope that nasty storm stays away, but if you head towards Austin and have a free moment let me know!

*Luke is just adorable!

Take care and good luck

Evacuating sucks. We had to for the fires last October, but we only had a 20 minute warning.

I know you don't wanna, but at least get some pictures and precious items packed up for the 'just incase' factor.

I hope you guys don't get hit! This reminds me I should probably email my family back in Louisiana and check up on them.

I think you should wait.

I don't want it to hit anyone!!! I just wish this thing would take a hard right and head out into the Atlantic. Let it go play with Hannah! lol

I really hope you don't have to evacuate!! Good luck with it though.

And if you ever want Lush stuff without paying hte huge shipping charge, let me know!! I have one about 10 mins from where I work and I"m always looking for an excuse to go there.

The storm still seems so far away to really know for sure where it is going to head. I wouldn't want to evacuate either. I hope it stays away from you!

Here from ICLW (a little late)

Hoping that the storm loses it punch before it makes landfall. I am with you, I wouldn't want to evacuate either. Better to be safe than sorry, though, if it looks like it will come your way.
