Are you ready?

Hurricanes are not something we get a lot of here in New England. It's all anyone can talk about, and all Hubby can watch on TV. He's in full on survival mode, hand cranking his emergency radio as we speak. It's not even raining here yet. We spent last night and this morning getting ready. Now were just waiting. Seems like we do a lot of waiting these days. 

Flash lights are gathered and have fresh batteries. 

All the outdoor furniture has been stowed in the garage. 

We even tilted our patio table against the fence, and braced the fire pit between the two benches.

So, what do I plan to do while waiting for and weathering the storm? I have a long list of things around the house, like cleaning, accessorizing our new living room shelves, mopping the basement floor now that it seems like the cat pee episodes are behind us (yes we cleaned up all along the way, but I feel like the whole floor needs a refresher!) I hadn't really planned on doing anything specific this weekend, so whatever I do, or don't do is fine by me. I have lots of choices .

One of my favorite options is working on a little graphic design project I've had brewing in my mind for quite some time. It's something that I want to share with all of you, so I figure if I throw it out there, it will motivate me to get moving on it. 

Lastly, thanks for all the kind words on my last post. I feel like we need an Iffer summit in Chicago where we can all meet in the middle or something. You all had a lot of great ideas for me. I do in fact, attend a monthly Resolve group. (the next meeting isn't until 9/13.) But, I did mention my blog to the group a few sessions ago, and I was contacted by one of the women who has since started reading. We're planning to get together this coming week! (Yes, I owe you an email with a plan!)

Anyway, I hope you are all having a great weekend, and if you are on the east coast, please stay safe and dry!
