A Day In The Life Of Me

WELL!!  Nothing like a good Hurricane to scare the crap outta you…  I was leaving way before Ike was supposed to show up, and was to be back well after Ike would have blown through, but I had my oldest daughter to worry about…  should I go?  Should I stay???  ACK.  She told me to go because I wanted to do this for such a long time… but I was afraid when Ike hit she would have been really scared, and then she would have yelled "HOW COULD YOU HAVE LEFT ME!!!!???"  I had two back up plans for her, one for evacuation and one for staying, and although I wasn’t totally at peace with the storm, I felt it was ok to go to CA.    THANK GOD for favor and answering prayers!!

We didn’t get hit with anything more than 50 mph winds, and then on Sunday a soaking rain.  My daughter was safe and sound and snug.  We didn’t even lose power.  Not so for Houston…   Thank you Melanie for your offer - that was SWEET!!!   My horse was ok too.  Was imagining coming home and finding her impaled with something… but she was happy to see me, and mud-caked.

NOW.  For CA - wow, the weather was great!  I was actually COLD and had to buy a sweatshirt!! LOL!  For the first 3 days, waiting for Ike to land, it was stressful for me, but after I knew everyone was safe, it was very relaxed.  I got ZERO pictures of me    I took WAY too many pictures of the mountains, and took pictures of Dave and his kids.

I ate as best as I could, and I managed to maintain my weight!  HUH.  I feel flabby, though, and I’m ready to get back into the groove with my workouts!!

I didn’t even get to meet Dave’s friend (a guy) who he bragged to that he was bringing his "hot young lady" - we didn’t have time.  But I did meet the ex - -  she was very nice to me.  She didn’t seem jealous one bit, but I know she noticed I had shorts on… lol    And she had one of her (girl) friends with her one day, and I *KNOW* SHE saw me!!  The kids liked me, and we all had a blast, so I’m sure she (the ex) won’t forget me anytime soon.     Oh, and supposedly she has joined a gym and has been working out - but Dave said he saw no difference in her at all.

My warehouse has power, but the corp office doesn’t, and they haven’t been to work in a week, so I don’t have internet at work…  I will try to post regularly again, and I want to join in JuloftheNile’s challenge this time - -  keep writing to me, and thanks for all the comments and messages while I was gone!!!  You guys are so great!!!!  BIG HUG!!!Oh, and Steph - don’t worry
