I don't know what we're doing yet- but as of an hou ago it's forecasted to roll right over where i live. So- I'll be out for, i imagine a while. I've been tied up in keeping up to date on this storm, and it JUST shifted north to hit us... So, excuse my absence if there is any...

I'll be back, hopefully dry.

Just a quick note to all concerned about Erica- I talked to her this evening and she is okay. Not a lot of problems at her house other than water on her porch and front door.. they lost power at 420 this morning and said she and john slept in a hallway between two rooms. She has power but no internet yet. She said she is BORED!

Just wanted to let everyone know that she did survive Hurricane Ike!

HI! I'm alive, as Amy said- and we finally got our cable back. I'm SO GLAD the storm shifted to the East of Houston instead of the West! I'm still trying to get in touch with friends who lived more north east of us... We definitely dodged a bullet with the electricity. For any who wonder- we actually went between the worst bands of the storm and only caught the last one- the eye wall... i was sitting on my porch until that one...lmao, the wind went from heavy to horrendous... and the damage to our roofs, trees and carport are horrendous.

A friend had a piece of plywood fly through his window... we still don't know where that came from. I was worried something would come flying through our windows, around 5am so we moved from the bedroom on the calm side of the building to the hallway... lol. it was really uncomfortable, and the cats are still on strike because i kenneled them and shut them in the bathroom.

Our only real damage was "flood damage" in the bathroom. My brilliant husband decided to fill the bathtub with water... around 11pm and FORGOT he left the water running...so, we had a POOL in our bathroom that went out to the bedroom. Luckily we still had power- turned the fans on and dried the 20 towels TWICE to sop up the MESS...it was a nightmare. lol. Other than that- the rain blew right through our porch door and front door, leaving puddles inside there as well- which was CARPET too unfortunately.

So- all in all- it was better than we'd expected. We're missing some shingles, and if anyone wants a tree- there are about 5 that are uprooted and laying in my yard... and on top of other people's cars...

No flooding on our side- which as i told Amy- is a miracle. I'm still scared to look at the news- I know our area was relatively calm- but it burnt down one of my favorite restaurants...that was the last thing i saw on TV before the power went out. I had the radio going the rest of the night and all day, but i ignored damage reports. My grandparents still don't have power, but there's no damage to their house, so that's good. (They're even further west than we are from houston) so, like i said- my area was VERY lucky.

Ya'll have a great day, and thanks for the concern! I'm going to go browse through the damage reports... thank you, everyone!

And for the record- i know we had a great area and were far enough away- but next time- I'M LEAVING. HA. I won't ride out another Hurricane, nonono. Not in this lifetime.

well, it's not really that i have a hurricane headed at me- but BECAUSE OF IKE I've been swamped with course work trying to catch up on the week and a half we missed- and i have a BUNCH of tests, assignments, et cetera... it's ridiculous- but that's where I've been. I forcasted a slow down for myself but this has been ridiculous- i'll be back in gear hopefully before December, hahaha. anyhow- I'm still lingering around about once a day, but good gracious i've had so much going on. and work has been nothing short of a nightmare. I have no brain left. it's gone- poof- lost. Anyhow, back to the books, i have a HUGE Government Test on Monday.

Erica-
Did you want me to care for your horses while you're away? I can do for you, like i've been doing for crystal, meegan and mel! Whats 100+ horses more??? :) Let me know. I'll get their information from my vet files if you want me to care for them.

Just let me know! I'd be happy to do it for you!
