Hurricane Ike Party

I will be at home dinkin my brew waiting for Ike! If any of you want to join me ...come on!

Our house made it through Carla 47 years ago today (btw Carla hit 9-11-1961)

It also made it through the hurricane that cleaned out Galv. 100 years ago!

Lets all hope and pray it makes it through this one!!!!!




PARTY PARTY PARTY

keep an eye out for my live Ike coverage on youtube!!!!!

we are staying also. we live close enough that if you need anything, even a place to run give me a call

THIS GOES FOR ANYBODY, my place may not be any safer than anybody elses but if you need me, we are here.

I'll be riding it out at home. I'll send the kids to grandma's house- their house has hurricane straps rated for a Cat4, so I feel safe taking the kids there. But me, Shannon and the older boys will be at the house.

But... Jennie- if we lose power for an extended period, we may head your direction

Well, feel free to come on if ya loose power!
We have the gen. ready and gassed up. We will have power to the water well, A/C, Fridge, Micro. TV and Computer!

I've already got the cards and dominos out!

also, if anyone needs help getting ready for the storm let us know!

Here we go again. I guess after 25 years of dodging a big one, its about time.

I just hope we have a beach house to go back to after this.

Larry & Yvonne, at least ya'll got to see it and visit awhile.....

My company just gave the shut down order, so we are closed as of 9am. Gonna go home and get the ducks in a row before I have to come back up here. I get to ride the storm out on Post Oak and the Galleria......joy....

You could always come further noth - Beltway and 249 area and hang with us.
Our office is closing tomorrow and I have already had friends asking if we are hosting our regular hurricane party. Don't know about the acual party but we have plenty of room and supplies.
The offer goes out to any one wanting to head North.. send me a PM and I will give directions.
Every one stay safe!

My first Hurricane and I am freaking OUT to the point of crying. I'm a Missouri girl, we didn't get hurricanes!!! Trying to get everything in from outside and all that crap. I'm friken exhausted!!! Had to stop and drink a Miller Lite to calm my nerves! Everyone be safe!!!!!!!!!!

The only thing I'm worried about is my neighbors in the 3rd ward =)

!c

Im not worried whatsoever and no school tomorrow

I've done started the party!...gonna have to make another beer run later (got plenty of wine and liquor for those that might want to join).

Just fyi, anybody wants to join come on...we have a parking garage a couple of blocks from the house (so the Jeeps are safe)

Keeping my ear to the ground for some parties here in the midtown area.

Jen, come Sat we might head your way (esp if ya got a generator to keep the music going). I'm gonna take advantage of this and just have 3-4 day party!

Don't forget the CB's! I know they have limited coverage, but they will work when phones go down. Everyone stay safe, and don't go playin' in the low water crossings cuz you lifted & think you can . Good vibes to all!

Call Shannon- she needs help! I'm stuck at working (and will be working late tonight). So she's been dealing with everything herself, on the verge of a nervous breakdown. On top of that she got attacked by a bunch of wasps in the process (4 or 5 stings on her lower back), and then she went to move a flower pot and discovered (too late) it was full of fire ants which promptly bit the shit out of her hand, arm and wrist.

Good idea, my number is ...., I'll delete it in the next few days before google holds on to it. I'm right on the east edge of downtown. Still getting prepared, about to go buy a sump pump (my place floods almost every time it rains). Just got done helping the hippie neighbors to pick up al their ^%^$#^$ -- we're talking chairs, tables, a desk on the front porch. GRRR.

Ok, Hurricane IKE preperation has been rather cruel to me today! I got stung by wasp and my lower back is stiff and burning and on top of that I think I pulled my back out because it is hard to walk. GRRRR Then those stupid ANTS attack my hand and arm and cause me alot more pain Oh and I cut my hand all before that on something in the back yard I was trying to move. I give up. I think I got everything squared away outside and enough water and supplies and that's all I'm doing. I'm done!!!!!! I need a friken HUG!!!!

Sorry man... I haven't even checked my messages- it has been hell-busy today at work. Today would have been an extremely busy day if no hurricane. But because of the hurricane we contacted clients and told them we are closing tomorrow. So all hell broke lose with everyone suddenly faced with deadlines. And then Fedex moved our last pickup from 8 pm back to 3:30 pm. So now we have one of our employees that is going to drive packages (tonight) to San Antonio so they can be picked up tomorrow and delivered Saturday. SHEESH... Fun day at work, and its still not over.
