Well Wilma is finally on her way

At least that is what we were told last night before bed. They finally put Florida under a Hurricane warrning.

What i wanted to do today was to go shop for a costume for the Pimp and Ho party one of our friends is haing on Friday. After all If I have to go to the dang theing I will be the best dresssed person there.

What I did insteaed was spend all day doing hurricane preparations. We had all already filled our gas tanks so we didn't have to worry about that. What we had to do was put the shutters up and get everything outside the house secure. At least the shutters finally came. They installed the hardware before Katrina and said they would bring the shutters later. We didn't know that meant several weeks later.

Shutters suck to install. If I do it again I will make sure I have gloves. Not a one of us, Matt, his mom, or I, escaped without slicing up our hands.

Then we had to secure everything on the back patio. Some of the patio furniture is in the pool now but nothing metaql can go in it. So lots of it is in the kitchen now. Also all the plants and stuff had to come in.

Oh and lets not forget Mike's SUNFISH. Yes thats right, we now have a sailboat sitting in the hallway. It's a houseboat now. Well at least we can paddle it to the cars when the house floods.
