Yesterday was a stormy day from hell, and I spent the entire morning anxiously watching the pouring rain and wondering if my backyard was going to flood. Finally, in early afternoon, when my backyard was an enormous pond of dirty water, the rain stopped.
About 30 minutes later I took Lola for a long walk. Sun was shining on all the leaves and debris, but at least we didn't have to deal with a tornado scenario.

I was sitting on the sofa last night watching TV and eating a snack, and I felt something on my left hand and looked down and there was a palmetto bug on my hand. I screamed and jumped up so fast I scared Lola. HATE those things. Thank goodness the bug guy came today!

I was trying to semi-clean up my desk and I found a package of old photos my aunt gave me some months ago, and I decided to scan them in.
