Hurricane... Yankee style

So I'm back in NY... so sad...

I was lucky enough to get to spend three weeks in the great state of Texas (and a few days in New Orleans :) with my wonderful family and friends. I stayed with my parents most of the time and I got to spend a lot of time with Mom, Dad, Laura, Craig, and Carter :) I missed them so much!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got to see a lot of people and spend quality times with the ones that I love!!! I am now tanner, and can appreciate how much New York has cooled off. One day last week the high was only 78!! And at night I needed a sweater!!! Craziness. I also got to eat MEXICAN food, Whataburger, Chic fil a, and oh yes... Sonic :)

Of course.... my flight got delayed and we got stuck in a holding pattern, then the trains were delayed because of rain, blah, blah, blah. Basically, if you travel with me, do not expect to arrive at your destination on time or close to it for that matter!

Since being home, I am aching to be at school again! The back to school commercials that used to strike fear in my heart now make me nostalgic. I miss my kids and my peeps at school. I did get to visit one day and say hi to everyone, but it just made me sadder that I am not there with them. I will continue to job search here and hopefully will get out of this apartment soon! (Timmy did clean the heck out of it while I was gone though, so it's nice and pretty)

I started Weight Watchers this week so that I can get some human interaction! The people at the meeting are very nice, and a few ladies with sweet accents took me in. They told me that they were sure that I would be a success here because I was so polite and have an awesome accent. I took that as a compliment :)

Timmy and I got to go to a taping of the new show "The Chew" today. It was fun... our first TV show! And it was all about food so we liked it.

Other than that, we have been all about Mother Nature around here. I didn't feel the earthquake the other day (thank God) but Timmy did at work. Now, the only thing that people are taking about is Hurricane Irene. These people have no idea what a hurricane is!!!! I am all about being prepared, and it looks like we will get hit, but people are freaking out! It's the ONLY thing on TV and the whole city is shutting down tomorrow. So nuts! No subway, no trains, no nothing. Time to hunker down.

We are so lucky to have so many people who are worried about us, but don't worry everybody, this aint our first rodeo :) We are really just going to hope for the best and ride it out!

Well, I don't have that much to write about tonight. I love you all and already miss you and the great state of Texas! I hope you have a great weekend
