I HATE Wednesday mornings and turning the computer on. They have these friggin software updates every week that we have no control over and it slows everything down and takes forever. And they never tell us what the frig they're updating.

morning kids.
Nasty really brief storms brought down a lot of trees around here so everyone is recovering, but on the bright side it isn't supposed to go above mid 80's today!

'Morning, all!
The back of our house and a nearby tree were hit by lightening during a storm last night. The blast shook the whole house, then we noticed flaming leaves falling on the (wood!) deck. The hit tripped two circuit breakers and when we flipped them back one shot out sparks. I don't know much about electrical wiring, but I'm betting that wasn't a good thing. One wall in the family room has no power in any of the outlets - the very outlets that the TV, cable, computer, etc are plugged into. So now I have to contact an electrician to come out and repair whatever. Could have been A LOT worse, though, so for that I'm very thankful.
Wow Moony! Glad everything's okay, considering what it could've been.
Barely a storm down by me. Rain for about 15-20 minutes, and that's it.
Edited to make more sense.

Holy smoke, cuz! Glad that you are safe and sound. How do look in that "perm"? We have a lot of downed limbs and trees. My power went off for about five minutes. My neighbors, who are on a different power grid, five hours.
i'm so glad i missed the storms.
OMG moony!!! So glad no one was injured. I hope everything is easily fixable!
Mornin', all!
Hi Deet! (10 hours later)
Yikes, Moony! Glad you're all okay!

"Holy smokes" - oh, cuz, you're too much. I just hope everything is AFFORDABLY fixable!

SOMMS - you and boobs are on your own in singapore now......
Moony, if most of your electronics and outlets are still working that's a good sign. The same thing happened to one of our mechanics last year and it zapped everything.

Dollars to Bhat go a very long way! Besides, Boobs knows people.
Good morning all.
PLEASE - one of those iced teas! They look perfect.
Moony - that's too close for comfort. I'm so glad you're all right. We got the storm but I slept through most of it.
It's going to be a bodaciously busy day at work today but it'll be a MAHVELOUS evening! I'm celebrating Miss P's birthday with her and her family by going to the ballet at the Kennedy Center and having dinner with Glebby. It just don't get any better than that!
Nice, thanks for the iced coffee, D2. :) For some reason, my body insisted on waking me up at 8:30 for no reason. So, I guess I'm up. At least I'll get out and get errands done today, when it's not so god awfully hot out.
i have to go to the post office... that is my errand for the day. fun.
Eck, thanks for reminding me, I need to go there as well.
Oh, and to everyone that got hit by the storms, I hope all is well. I haven't even checked outside to see the status of the neighborhood.
mamie - that does sound lovely.
good morning to my whiskers on kittens!

Glad to hear everyone's safe!
I just walked across town during my lunch break to my school, where I was supposed to meet my history teacher to review my summer reports. He didn't show. I wasted my lunch break. Ugh.
Good morning, Sunshine!
Busy night?
yeah - went dress shopping for "it" after work and then had to run out and meet local partner in crime for dinner and drinks. Which lead to more drinks...you know the drill.
Mani/pedi after work and have to pick up Chris's tux. The fun never ends.
I must have slept through any storms last night. Good thing, too, 'cause I didn't get any sleep the night before. We are still w/o AC.
I kept waiting for the storms to hit, but nothing. Glad I got some rain by me, though.
Why no AC? Haven't they come to install them yet?
Morning stragglers!
