Oh, Isaac

It's really been almost 2 months since my last post. 

So unplanned. 

Oh well.  

Moving on.

If you don't know, I live in Louisiana. Houma to be exact. It's about 45 minutes south of New Orleans. Near where Mr. Isaac is thinking of visiting.

Isaac, please be sweet. You have already hit other places and made a mess. Don't come make a mess here.

 I'm not too nervous, although this has been the first hurricane that I have had to be a large help in picking everything up, planning for "what ifs", and getting supplies rounded up. It's not as fun as it was when my mom and dad would take care of things, especially the worrying part.

 I haven't looked at the news yet today, but as of yesterday it was projected to not be above a category 2, which is nothing to the people here. People in Houma are stocking up beer, water and food.        Wal-Mart was out of bread yesterday. Gas stations have lines to the road to get gas and people are filling up all of their extra gas cans. Schools are closed.

I was suppose to be going to Gulf Shores with the family I work for this coming weekend. Yea, I'm pretty sure that's not gonna happen. haha
