Rain, Rain, go away!

It has been raining for what seems like half of my 29 years of life. No joke. This week we have had really bad severe weather. Nothing compared to Joplin's devestation, but still not good.


Wednesday I knew we were going to end up in the storm shelter area at work. I looked through the window a little after 2 and it was raining sideways and so dark outside. I decided if we were going to have to go to safety I was going to the bathroom first!


Not two minutes after I sat back down at my desk the sirens went off, the emergency intercom started talking to us and we had to evacuate.


I grabbed my purse, my drink, and a handful of candy from our "bad day drawer" nothing like being prepared I say!


So we stayed downstairs for awhile, I snapped this picture of Audra, she was sheltering with us, it was funny everyone had their phones out. Deb was with us and she had live dopler radar on her phone!! I so need a cooler phone!


We stayed there for maybe a half an hour before we were able to safely go upstairs.


That was it for Tornados untill later that evening. I decided I was going to bed early at 9:30 since I had to work the early shift Thursday and Friday. And wouldn't you know it as soon as I had taken one contact off I heard those doggone sirens again!!


I decided I was safer in my bedroom rather than living room, since my safe spot was my bathroom, i could get there in a mere few steps and there was nothing that could fall on me along the way.


I sat my purse, glasses, and external hard drive (yes, I am a nerd) right by my bathroom so i could grab them as I shut the door.


I laid in bed and listened to the storm. At one point I thought I heard the train sound of a tornado, man alive i did not know i could move that fast in my old age! I was out of bed, and half in the tub before I thought, wait a minute..........


I think they had turned up the sound of the siren or changed it in some way, because thankfully it was the siren i heard and not the tornado.


News Reports say there were 5 tornados in our area Wednesday alone. I am very thankful to have been protected and safe, as well as all of my loved ones.

And I am tired of the bottom of my pants and my shoes being wet. Rain, Rain GO AWAY!

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo!  My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable.  My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size!  Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!!  That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...

Book Review: The Last Dance you Saved by LJ Evans

  Buckle Up Buttercup, because Sadie Hatley is finally getting her story!!!! And it did not disappoint at all! The only thing I didn't like about this book is that it ended. I could have kept reading for 1000 more pages.  L.J. Evans is a Masterclass in how to write Romantic Suspense (that's not so scary you can't sleep at night) with witty banter, heroines who kick butt (figuratively and literally). Her books are full of real people with real problems. And I think that's one of the things I appreciate the most about her writing. Yes, her books are an escape for me, but they also show that whatever you're going through in life, everyone else is also going through something.  In the case of Sadie and Rafe alot of those issues they contained to themselves and kept the hurt and pain inside of them, in order to be strong for others and what they thought they needed to be. But L.J. shows us that not only is it okay to let people in, but the beauty and redemption that come...
