DDA Chapter 12

[KMH1]

Add our area to the prayers, please. We've been experiencing some very high winds for the last few hours, and I'm pretty sure Jen's without power on her side of town. I had hoped to run some errands during naptime, but after seeing three trees and a big building sign knocked down within a mile of my house, I turned around and drove straight home. We've lost a little siding. Strangely, there's no storm, but they claim one will arrive later.

Thinking of you all!

If I could get some pixie dust this way I would appreciate it...it's for something so small, in the grand scheme of the DDA but it's huge for me.
My ID has gone missing again (I use it so very infrequently, it wasn't where I last had it) and I have 12 days until I NEED it for the weekend with Glynis. I am nearly in tears (although that doesn't take too much lately).

Theresa, Believe it or not as Steve was going thru the motions of when he was using his wallet last night, it worked. he finally remembered where he left it. We were able to call when the place opened and they had it.

Instead of trying to call Continental and being placed on hold for over 30 minutes, I just drove him down there. We got there at 1:15 and explained what happened and why we came instead of calling. She checked the notes and after first saying no flights, she got him on the 2pm flight.
I did not have to pay the change fee
Then when I went to pay for parking, -----I didn't owe any $$$$

I am home, happy, we ate the ribs---YUM. I am ready to take a nap

So much terrible weather... for everyone dealing with it right now.

 

[Glynis]

Glynis, one of the names you chose for your new son is Timothy Locke correct?

Yup! I got your PM.

Upright. I think I would prefer that over the rolling duffle.

I agree! We have the 29" and the 25" Delsey, along with a 21" carry-on.

Well, I threw it out there for ALL of you, expecting Elizabeth to jump all over it! But, no!

Hey! I said Samsonite or Delsey! At least I thought I did.

Be careful, Amy! I hope you don't lose any additional siding!

We went to Super Target to buy groceries. DS's lunch box handle came off after he used it exactly 12 times, so we took that back and got a different style. Found a black polo for band (why they have them at Super Target and not Target is beyond me). A little over $200 later we were back in the car.

I still haven't started the laundry.

 

[Glynis]

Oh yeah!! And with the 9/11 talk I think we've covered a lot for a while. At least I hope so!! Eric says he's glad that I got to do all of this and not him. I could only imagine how he would have explained it all!

I'm going to call Joe today, he'll get a big kick out it!

Tell Eric he gets the birds and the bees talk!

Jennifer sent a text...

"without power, limited cell service...60 mph sustained winds for 7 hours now..5 more expected...we are ok, have my hands full w/ the girls...pls pray for parents & sis....major damage, trees, roof etc, lot's more about to fall"

 

[KristineN]

Hang in there Amy & Jennifer...this has been just horrible the last couple of days

Now, you KNOW that I'm praying and sending pixie dust by the bucketloads! I'm hopeful that as I read on, I'll find out you've found it!

Thanks for posting this! I just got the same text and came to post about it. Prayers for all affected! I'm so glad that you are ok, Kristine. And also Lindsay, Jennifer, Marci, Elizabeth, and hopefully Karen. Now, if I can just hear from my SIL about her family and her son's family, I can stop worrying. They live in Houston, and we haven't heard from them since Friday.

I can get this 29" Delsey Rolling Duffel for $66 with free shipping at ShoeBuy. Also points on MyPoints! What do you think?

Be careful how large a bag you buy. Most airlines won't allow anything over 62 linear inches (length + width + height) so do the math before you buy anything really big. (Don't forget the expandable part too if it comes with the bag!)

 

[Glynis]

I have decided that in order for me to have a less stressful pregnancy, you all have to move to Utah where I can keep an eye on you. We don't have hurricanes, rarely have tornadoes (1 in my 41 years of life), beautiful seasons (at least 4 of them, and sometimes 6), great scenery, and we're really close to Disneyland.

I know you all want me to have a restful end to the pregnancy, so I'm expecting to see you all jump on this bandwagon! Who's first to sign up???

Wow! Was this expected? The weather in the US is so very strange the past couple of weeks!

 

[yellowfish78]

Our winds aren't as bad as Cinci yet, but it looks like we may get there soon too. I had to drive home from my dress fitting and there were tons of branches everywhere.

 

[PNO4TE]

I am home, happy, we ate the ribs---YUM. I am ready to take a nap

Sounds like the perfect ending!

They are getting the feeder bands from Ike already.

 

[PNO4TE]

Hey! I said Samsonite or Delsey! At least I thought I did.

you did! But there was no comment about whether or not my clothing would get very wrinkled if I packed it 11 days out from the trip.

What a horrible monster it turned out to be. Please be safe, Chanon! And probably Tom too!
