Windy Night!

I love the wind! Well at least most of the time. I do hate picking up our shutters from the front yard or the neighbors every time the wind blows. It does get a bit old but obviously we aren't too sick of it or we would secure them good enough so we wouldn't have to go out there every time. When we were little, I remember my sister and I closing off all the doors in the hallway and turning the swamp cooler on full blast. We would sit in the dark with the cooler blowing really hard pretending that we were in a tornado! It was great until we really were in one and then it wasn't so fun! I think that is why I love when the wind blows so hard because I don't fear the tornado's like we did when we lived in Georgia. Now I just fear Earthquakes here. I change my plan about every month of what door frame would be the best to stand under if and when it happens. I'm hoping I am outside when it happens. Maybe jumping on the trampoline.... wow that would be a trip! I have been in one of those too! My sister, my brothers and I went and sat down next to the fridge when the house began to shake. Not too bright on our part. I'm thinking maybe we didn't have one of those FHE lessons to teach us what to do in case of an earthquake because that could have been the worst place to be. My sister was tending so I am blaming it on her!!!

I sure didn't like the wind a couple weeks ago and the reason why is below. I like it tonight and I am going to go open my window wide open and get under my blankets and just listen. My husband will think I am nuts but he probably already does. Besides he is busy watching a basketball game so I am going to go have fun! I can't wait!!!

#1 Never go major grocery shopping when it is 438 degrees below zero and you are in the middle of what feels like a tornado ... remember you have to load and unload fifty million bags and my fingers are so cold they are ready to break off.

#2 While loading the bags in your car under such conditions as mentioned above, never put your head in an open trunk!!! The force of the wind slams the trunk down onto your neck like a GUILLOTINE and it HURTS REALLY BAD!!!!!

#3 When you feel like crying cause you just got your head chopped off and your nose is running like a faucet and the pain of the freezing cold is so bad that you threw the cases of Coke on top of your (already way too over priced Grandma Sycamore bread) don't forget to close your trunk! People will honk at you when they are behind you and then you will whisper naughty things under your breath, thinking they want you to hurry up, when really they are trying to help you not lose the bottle of Downey that it just took (me) 20 minutes to pick because they have so many new scents!
