Right now, it's raining hard again this morning. We had a little break yesterday.

I say, you get on CNN, or Fox News and we can see replays of you all day long on natl TV. Don't forget to say Rosebud.

RN, I'm hanging out in bed with a curled up black cat and my laptop, with ESPN2 running a marathon of National Spelling Bees.

Outside it is cold, grey, wet and windy.

RN I'm happy I filled the gas tank last night! And that the price was $1.99.9!

right now, phew! what a long two weeks. i had to get dishnet, the phone line and dsl installed at new house. dishnet went out 1 hour after it was installed. they are out of dsl equipment "maybe for months".
left dh up at new house and came home with dd yesterday. lots of flooding and just when we got into town, half the lights went out. literally one-half the town was totally black and no one could pump gas, get lotto tix, or do anything that required electronics. the store lights worked from generators, but you couldn't do much besides buy a cold beer. we drove into our front yard and about 1/4 of a huge tree on our lawn is now a huge limb in our circular drive. i went to find some pruning shears to try and take some of the boughs off to move the limb into our back yard...the shed is leaking like a sieve and dh's power tools are all floating in water. i had to put them into the garage, dry them off and rub some WD40 into them.
way too much rain down here!
at the new house, we had rain for 13 of our 15 days with some pretty snow thrown in. the living room has a silly meld of family pictures on the wall and lawn chairs on the rug. our bedroom has an airbed on a frame (oh, my aching back!) and two large boxes standing on end for the lamps...it was sorta like camping, especially having to get up to feed logs into the woodburning stove.
i almost beaned my dh when he brought up the bills for me to pay. our gas and electric was 327 dollars! more than double what it was the month before. i told him the 'griswald family christmas lights' would break us! aaargh.
ds went to texas where he woke up sick the first morning and ended up at an urgent care a few days later with strep, an ear ache and who knows what else...hopefully, the rx's (3 of them!) give him some relief, especially as he flies back to san diego tomorrow. i hate having an ear ache when i have to fly.
other than that, we are all fat, sassy, broke and still hoping to sell this house! a couple from san francisco loves it, but commented on the monster-ugly house next to us. the agent reassured them that that house is also for sale and the new owners will surely make cosmetic changes! i think the couple is coming back to look again. they have 5 houses they like here....
another couple fell in love with it, but they have to sell their home first. they are already in town, in a smaller, tract home, but think their house is worth 490k! the agent said she almost laughed at them. how could it be worth more than this one? well, the granite counters, the wife explained. our agent said that granite counters could not mark a house price up by 80k. plus the husband is a granite counter installer by profession, so it didn't cost them thousands to put it in.
all the other houses in our neighborhood have sold or have pending offers on them, except for the monster-ugly next door and us! let's hope since there aren't currently 10 homes in the racquet club area on the market, we might get an actual offer one of these days? our money is going like water through napa!

right now, holly and i just got back from driving around napa (or where we were allowed to drive).

max, this is for you. we went down to where your brother lives. the napa police won't let you go on that street, but the "stream" your brother talked about is the Napa Creek. the first thing that floods in this area. earl street is a big mud mess right now. that street was completely flooded at least 6' up the houses.

the napa cinedome (which CNN liked to show alot) is now out from under water and they are down cleaning that whole area like mad.

the blue line is your brother's street. the area outlined in salmon is what was flooded. the map actually could go further out to the east and show much more. but i'm sure you get the picture.

RN, Thanks Landi. Looks like they are in for a long, long cleanup -- assuming the rain ever stops long enough for the waters to recede! I don't know if the house is his or his SO's or both, but I hope they have flood insurance!

RN, Tabby, having your house still intact and dry (except for the shed) should be a selling point right now! Good luck! :-)

RN, dd just went to the ATM at her bank and called to tell me all the streetlights are out and police are directing traffic. i guess half the town is still without power. knock on wood, we are still with power here. i am trying not to use the heaters or gas fireplace. it is about 45 degrees inside and 55 outside. i go outside every once in a while to warm up and study that damn tree limb! it's too big to drag into the backyard, as it won't fit through the gate. i guess i could wait til full dark and then try and drag it across the street and into the park?! maybe tie it to the bug and haul it across the street?! u an amazed the tree still looks symmetrical with so much of it gone.
i walked into the entry hall a little while ago and the hardwood floor is coming up by the front door. right now, i piled all our phone books on it to try and get it to lie flat again. guess dh will have to glue it back down. i have no idea where he put the floor glue. time to take down the tree. ugh. i hate taking it down almost as much as putting it up! lol

Right now, I'm sitting in Boston's Logan airport because my flight is delayed home to Chicago. *sigh* Apparently, there were major thunderstorms in Chicago which pushed all flights arriving and departing from there. At the moment, I'm three hours delayed with the possibility of more delay.

Thinking positively though. Heh.

Right now, I just finished my first annual boxing-up-and-putting-away of the new fake Xmas tree. Ouch!! Gak!!! I'm glad it's only once a year.
I miss having a real tree already. Damn (yet cute and loveable) kitties!

Right now I am so thankful for electricity! We were without power for the past 26 hours! I'm telling all of you right here and now, I would have never made it as a pioneer living by candlelight....and flashlights.

Right now I'm in soy tart heaven, warming a Boysenberry Butter Cookies one.... ahhhhh!

Right now, I'm very grateful that we've kept power (so far, very windy).

Right now, Coco, glad you had Cozy/Chic and World's Softest Socks available.

Right now: I am so glad to hear that Landi is high and dry. I was worried and haven't been able to get to my computer in the last couple of days. We are getting nervous here. The river which is 3 miles from my house and the bypass which is a mile from my house are almost to flood stage. Yike. I live in a bowl.
