Those dang "thunderstorms"

So, now that we're getting into what I call "tornado season" in the Southeastern United States, it's time for all these crazy Virginians to face what they consider major storms. Last night, I heard on the news that we were facing a major thunderstorm that spanned from VA to AR and LA. However, there was only a little light green over my area and out to the west. That is, it was light green everywhere but my old stomping grounds. Out in TN and AR, it was bright red and yellow with lots of tornadoes in the area. Believe it or not, and you should since I've blogged about this before, I LOVE thunderstorms and tornadoes. While some of my friends, you'll remain nameless, hmmmm......, head straight to the liquor store then the tub with the mattress, I'm standing on the porch with my glass of "juice" analyzing the sitch trying to determine if my house will in fact be blown to never never land, or where ever houses are blown these days. Today, I took the kiddos out for recess and I heard one of the other kids who was already outside exclaim, "You guys should definitely stay inside. This storm's going to be bad!" I could only think to myself, "The sky is blue, not even green... I only feel straight winds. They're not even turning, yet..." Oh well, whatever. I'm ready for some real thunderstorms.

On a totally different side note, we're getting new carpet on the main floor and the basement tomorrow morning. I'll let you all know how that endeavor goes and whether or not I'll maintain a drinking attitude all night and into the morrow.
