Dissed

Dissed but very happy! Thankfully it looks as though Hannah has decided that we weren't cool enough to party with and she has veered off to towards North Carolina and up the East Coast (sorry Mum!).

However - this is the projected path of Hurricane Ike. See that little dot that says Tuesday 8AM? That's us directly under that dot. Hey, we're happy, it was a category 4 an hour ago! We are definitely not in agreement with Emily who says she hopes it stays a category 3 because that would more exciting!!!! Oh to be 10 and so unshakeably confident about everything.

Emily and Mark are off on a quest for milk as we have been unable to find it for two days - well actually Lisa did find it two days ago but it was $9.85 a Gallon. Lisa thinks if any store got a morning delivery it is long gone. Thanks goodness for Sundie and her foresight in bringing us powdered milk from Scotland... just in case.

Wow, $9.82 a gallon?! Yikes! That's just pre-hurricane pricing, right?? Nasty gougers! Well, at least you found some ~ and hopefully you won't have to use the powdered milk. Blecgh. (in my opinion, anyway!)

$9.85 PER GALLON!!???? Holy smokes!!!!!

We go through at least 4 gallons per week! We'd be spending 40 bucks per week just in milk!

I hope Ike passes on by from a distance!

Right now we are getting rain bans and plenty of wind from Hanna... there is NO WAY that I am looking forward to Ike showing it's face... I am praying it turns out to the ocean... I hate these storms, my nephew hopes that it stays strong.. I told him that if it were him paying house repairs he wouldn't want it to... right now it is 4.20am and the wind has woken me and the storm is mostly out in the ocean... thinking of you and hoping Ike turns... take care

Glad Hanna dissed you all. She's coming to VA over night/tomorrow. We're expecting LOTS of rain and some possible high winds. I hope Ike disses you also! : )
