I've got my handbasket, and I'm ready to go...

Pay attention to the subtle difference of the statement I heard on the news today about the flooding in Indiana.

What was said: "It was not a dam failure."

What I heard: "It was not a damn failure!"

It really doesn't take much to amuse me.

I'm going to hell...for reals.

ok so, I know I am going there, but seriously Indiana TOTALLY stole our thunder. literally! (and figuratively)

I have been freaking out about this since day one (ok calm down family, it was like 10 miles away, but SERIOUSLY 10 miles is a lot closer than the 1700 it was before).

But there was a FREAKIN'; tornado this evening!!!! In the suburbs!!! In the southwest suburbs...just south east of our house by, like I said, about 10-15 miles.

So a little info on tornadoes. The sky will be really dark and green, and it will sound like a train (that is what they say)

So Cas and I were watching TV and there are warnings all over the place. It is like 85 degrees and raining with thunder and lightening and all that stuff. So I am freaking out (less so now, because I have a gin and tonic--which was necessary).

But I digress....

There is now this TINY article online about our tornado, and all you can see now on the news is the stupid massive flooding in Indiana. *ugh*. More flooding, but nothing about our DEVASTATION?!?! ok, or a couple lost roofs, and maybe an injury, but people this is HUGE for me!

I can't even describe what it is like outside. It was dark at about 4pm, and the clouds are just flying by. We have the A/c on inside and it is about 75 in here, but outside it is close to 90 and it is SO humid that the outside of all our windows have fogged up...which is odd cause in the winter it was the opposite...but here are some photos...you can't really tell that much, but totally fogged up. And I can't even describe how eerie it feels outside. Now it is all calm and still and heavy (the air is so thick, but our tornado warning ended at 8..so I guess we are ok)

WWFFD?

I have found out that it should only be a few more weeks until the fireflies are here. I am so excited!

But work is rough. There is a lack of everything: caring, consideration, work ethic, and so much more. I have been having troubles keeping calm and not losing it. So I have developed a new way of thinking.

Everytime I start to get upset, I just think WWFFD. Yes, What would the fireflies do? And it reminds me that they are coming, and instantly I am happier and more calm.

WWFFD.

*sigh*

Chicago Photos...

From when my family was here...

hee hee. I am a child.

I was tired and driving home from work and I saw this truck and I giggled out loud. Because I wondered if it is a hereditary disease, or infectious?

and what does a dong fang have to do with dolphins? oh the questions.

Also on the way home this guy in the cab next to me was totally looking at me and he smiled and wink and mouthed "hey, how are you?" And I am not sure if I am no longer unable to understand flirting, or if it had just been a rough week...but the charming girl that I am, I said back "what?" and when he didn't answer "WHAT?"

yeah, um. there was no more flirting after that. Oh yeah. Cas better watch out, I am attracting them like flies to honey baby!
