she waited till 5 min. till we had to leave this morning to print her project which i knew nothing about but couldn't get it to print so she asked me to look at it and I told her we have no paper! boy she got upset so i told her that this is her fault and her responsibility that if she had just said something this weekend and did when she was supposed to this would have been taken care of. then she tried to guilt trip me by saying that she is screwed b/c the teacher doesn't like anyone. i told her that it is not going to work her problem and next time she will do her project and have it done and printed b4 the morning of!! i am so mad at her!! why do they do this?!![]()

We have cold white stuff. It's called sand. I wouldn't recommend throwing it at anyone though. I went to a hurricane conference today. Fascinating! Really, I'm not being snarky. I'm just checking in from work. I'll post more later.

I got to interview people from NASA, the National Hurricane Center and a specialist at the Univ. of Oklahoma. The conference brings together all the great minds researching hurricanes (tropical cyclones) across the country. They take all their research and what they've learned from past storms to make a plan for this year. For example, one guy talked about how they are going to remap to better predict storm surge. Another is studying the social interactions of a hurricane. How far in advance should they issue a warning? When an official warning is issued, it costs an area $1 million for each square mile of coast line. That's money used not only to prepare for the storm but money lost from businesses. If a warning is issued to soon, a small business could go under by closing up to prepare.
Another cool fact, a hurricane is so powerful that you could drop an atomic bomb into the middle of one and it wouldn't have an effect.![]()
Ok, weather geek lesson is over.![]()
I have several lives. Most of them involve The Sims2. . .![]()
Are you trying to boost your post count?
Mean Queen, I agree that that fact about the atomic bomb is amazing.
I'm hoping for little hurricane activity this year. It's the one part of the year that living so close to the Atlantic coast has a major disadvantage.
Checking in.
AMG. Mom just said she was putting soup in my tinkerbell cup.
Erh .. mom. It's Captain Hook. Not Tinkerbell![]()
My kids are driving me BATS tonight!!!!!....I mean, the last thing we needed was a snow day smack after a whole week off. It's kind of like it throws the whole schedule thing off track. Yes, they've been home for the last 9 days for vacation, but today they were "supposed" to be in school, and since they were not, nobody (including me!!) knew what to do with themselves! Pathetic, I know.
I did manage to finish my latest Disney scrap book. Now I can pack up all those supplies. But I didn't pack one box today. Not one! I was too busy playing referee and laying down ultimatums.![]()
I'm also feeling very "Pooh-like" right now. That's because I snacked indiscriminately this afternoon and I feel like a bloated whale. I chalk it up to the schedule being messed with!!!!!!![]()
