Hurricane Party??

Well, I must admit, this Kansas Girl is a little nervous. And excited, I suppose. It's my first real potential for a hurricane...following the news media's suggestions, I decided to go to Publix (FL's grocery store chain) and get some necessitites. Well, I started getting a little anxious after it took me 10 minutes to find a parking spot (I was at the smallest Publix in Orlando), and about that much time to find a shopping cart. I pretty much saw a guy unload his groceries and then jogged over to him (trying not to look panicked) and asked him if I could use his cart. :) So then I stepped into the craziness....I completely forgot what I should buy! Water was the only thing I could think of and then I saw some cereal bars and got them too. That's it. I think I was just too overwhelmed, so I left and decided that Chuck would be better at getting the supplies since he's a native Floridian... I only added 2 bottles of wine to his list. :) I actually don't think that it's going to be a hurricane (knock on wood) but more of a tornado and high wind threat. I KNEW we should have gotten our trees trimmed!! I can tell Max (our golden) can sense the weather change...or maybe he can feel my nervousness. :) I know that this was pure coincidence (b/c the storms haven't really started yet), but when I was leaving the bank to get cash, a HUGE tree limb fell and blocked off the entire road I was on...that kinda freaked me out. I've seen pictures near our neighborhood after Charlie went through and let's just say, that has me freaked out a little bit, b/c people keep on making comparisons to Charlie. Oh, great...they just said they are pretty sure it's going to turn into a Hurricane before it makes landfall. Hmmmm...wonder where Chuck is with that wine? :) I guess some of Chuck's friends have been calling him to check in and see how his Kansas Girl is doing. :) Well, I'm doing good...like I said, I'm excited, but I just don't want anyone to get hurt or to have too much property damage. I'll keep you posted!
