Stormy goodness

We’ve got more weather in the area again. We had some nasty stuff around Saturday morning, Saturday nite, this morning, and again tonite (I can’t remember now if we had some on Sunday or not … all the days are running together). I had no idea there was even any weather out there. I’ve been watching VH1s I Love the 90s. I caught the weather on FOX News at 9 and saw there was stuff out there. Pretty good stuff too from the looks of the radar (and when I say pretty good, I mean fairly strong). There’s a tornado warning on the cell north of town (radar indicated rotation). There was a severe thunderstorm warning on it first. It looks like it’s gonna stay north of town, but there is more stuff to the west of town (not as strong though). I’m seeing lightning to the north now.

I went and took some pics about 15 minutes ago, as the sun was setting. They turned out pretty cool. Not the best, but then again, my camera is pieced back together. Here’s one of the pics …

Crazy day

Today has been a crazy day. It started out with me getting woken up by a storm around 5am. Not sure when it had started. I wasn’t even sure it was storming. I thought I heard rain on my window. So I got up to check. Yep … it was storming. So I shut my computer off and went back to bed for another hour or so (but of course I couldn’t get back to sleep).

Then I got to work to find out that my computer wasn’t working. Turns out the hard drive went bad (or something). So I ran it over to DakTech to get a new hard drive (since I didn’t have anything to do). I finally got my computer back around 3pm or so.

Around 4pm, we got ice cream cake from DQ. It was Justin’s and Josh’s birthdays. Nummy cake! Then back to work for about a half hour then head on home.

The way I’m taking now sure is a lot less of a headache. There are a couple of spots that back up, but it’s not that bad. And there’s no threat of getting stuck behind a train.

Tonite I need to do some cleaning up. I’ve got about 4 or 5 papers under my coffee table that I need to put in the closet. And I need to go thru the Sunday paper again (especially the ads). And I need to update my Dale Jr site and my Chance 2 fan page. And I should probably put up the Avalanche pics from this past weekend. But all I want to do is nap … zzz I think I need to start going to bed around 9pm (but I’d still lay in bed for at least an hour or 2 before falling asleep). But I think the first thing I’m gonna do is make supper. I’ve got some chicken left over from the chinese I ordered for supper last nite. I might turn it into a salad or just eat it as is … not sure yet.
