"Come on Eileen" - I mean Irene

So, I heard there is the potential to have a major Hurricane hit the Carolinas! But unfortunately for me, every time I hear about Irene the Hurricane, what I'm really hearing is "Come On Eileen." Groovy, huh? Since I am always giving to others, I'm going to share this song with all of you loyal readers so that you may have it stuck in your head also! You can thank me later!



Speaking of Groovy, since the husband isn't home, I should celebrate Irene's arrival with a good old fashioned Hurricane Party!!! I can make some of these: YUM!

Wowza! Look at her go. Seriously though, I hope that this Hurricane doesn't do too much damage and that people don't lose their lives. That would be horrible. 

Don't worry about me.  If the base calls for a mandatory evacuation then I will drive myself and the dogs to stay with my sister Kelly in Kentucky. Otherwise, me and the pooches are going to ride out this storm.  I may even be able to get some very cool pictures!  On a side note, people really do think that Armageddon is approaching.  I saw a man with TWO grocery carts filled to the top with water bottles.  Every one of the large gallons of water was sold out at the Commissary, as was every battery in the store. I tried going down the isle that had batteries, and this over zealous lady literally blocked my cart with hers, and reached over my cart to grab the last package of AA batteries. Listen here crazy lady - I don't want those batteries anyway. So there is NO need to play crash up derby with your cart you Hurricane Hoarder!!! 

I will update y'all again soon. I'm sure there will be more Hurricane stories to tell.  And I really do want to make that drink...
