It's spring in Oklahoma. You know what that means....
Last night. Me. Sleeping. 3am awaken to sirens. Half asleep but decide to ignore them. They KEEP going off..so I reluctantly get up. Afterall, the ONE time I dont is the one time I should have...
Anyway..get up, flip on the news.. realize I really am in the path of rotation (which is strange for where I live...rarely happens). I look at myself and think "crap. I better put on some more clothes." (Yes, THIS is my thought..not "hey, i might blow away tonight") I put on sweat pants, bra, tshirt (I'd originally had on a tank top and shorts). Half asleep, I also put on my flip flops. Sat back down on the sofa with Gracie in lap still kinda squinty with hair a total mess. Decided hiding laptop in linen closet was a good idea. (What?! Yeah, I said I was half asleep). I didnt want to lose all my photos my french doors blew open like they sometimes do in storms.
The thought crosses my mind
"We have a storm shelter...but I dont even know how to get into it... I wonder if my neighbors are up...Hmm..."
Opted to watch more storm coverage before I took cover with the dog.
Storm blew over. Then storm TWO hit...with hail...a LOT of hail.
Got BACK up, totally paranoid that the sirens had been knocked out by a twister and I was actually in the path of a funnel.
Obviously OCD b/c that was not the case. Went back to sleep at about 4am.
Promised myself to call my neighbors today in case I have to take cover-ever. (Keep in mind I've lived there 2 years and think this thought after every storm). Lull into dreamland thinking "I should put snacks in the storm shelter...."
Lord.

I didn't get any sleep last night either because of it. Every time the storm woke me up I would flip on the tv, curse it for being so bright and loud, watch to make sure I wasn't go to die, then try to convince Andrew to go take down the wind chimes because they were SO LOUD with the wind. Oh well...hopefully tonight will be more calm!
Jax! I found your blog! You'll have to check mine out. I'm obsessed with blogging and LOST as well. Hope you are doing well and I found your blog through Blaze's, just so you don't think I'm a weirdo. Wait, I am a weirdo, but you know what I mean.
