It started off by going to my hair stylist and going "back to brown". I have been a highlighted blonde for 3 years and Bryon has begged me for a while to go back to my roots (literally) so after 3 hours of labor, I am officially a brunette again! My hair stylist was amazed at how much darker my hair got with every baby, so I am even darker than I remember. I didn't tell Bryon I was doing it, so he was pleasantly surprised when he got home.
After my beauty salon visit, I went to the grocery store to get some rice for tonight. What I witnessed was something out of an apocolypse movie. Out of mass hysteria, people were flocking to the store stocking up for Hurricane Rita. It doesn't matter that the eye has shifted and we will be lucky if we get a quarter of an inch of rain. No batteries, no water, no bread, no milk, no space in the parking lot. People shouting, "We just went to Wal-Mart and there is no more water!" "I hear Big Lots is getting a shipment later tonight!" Folks, you would think we lived on a barrier island on the Gulf of Mexico. I used to work at our local H-E-B when I was in high school, and it was never as crowded or the shelves as bare, even the night before Thanksgiving as it was today.
Around dinner, I called my friend, Carol, to ask her a question and she said there was someone there that wanted to say hi. Well, it was none other than your blogger friend and mine, Deana! She lives in the projected path of the hurricane and had evacuated to Waco. It was fun talking to her and finding out that she is a real person not just a computer entity. I am probably going over to Carol's tomorrow and meet her face to face. I had been worried about her as she is right in the path of Rita, so we all need to think about her and her poor cats that are braving the storm.
Had a thought.

I am dying to see a picture of the new "old" you...post a pic!
And I just spent 2 hours at Walmart -- I went to get some essentials for our weekend (just basics) and they had NOTHING there. People were crazy -- no bread at all, no bananas, etc. Lines that lasted an hour. Crazy people!!!!
Have a good weekend and stay dry!
Yeah, up here in Dallas it is pretty crazy too. Long lines for gas....I haven't ventured into the grocery stores, but I hear it is the same! Crazy.
I went to the store Wednesday because company was coming and the pantry was empty... After being in Wal Mart for ten minutes I thought I was the only one in town who didn't kow that we DO NOT live on the coast! Still I gave into pressure and bought a pack of bottled water, a few cans of tuna and lots of carbs! (Most high carb foods don't have to be refrigerated you know!) To add to the panic, WalMart kept runnng a clip from the weather channel touting Rita as the third strongest storm to ever come into the Gulf and showing a map that predicted 60 to 80 mile an hour all the way to DFW! FOR THE LOVE! Check out was a beast! It was a truly crazy experience. On the bright side, I won't have to buy breakfast bars, canned veggies or crackers until February or so!!! :)
