I was always so proud that we were all so abnormally "normal".

Well, so now you'll all be "normally abnormal" instead of "abnormally normal". Big deal!
Good that you have your head on straight about it all. Do try to have a good time with your family! Your daughter sounds like she is having a case of teen flashback. She's obviously feeling really insecure. Insecure people have a hard time giving out love, because they are still struggling with loving themselves- they don't have any to spare! Hopefully she'll mature eventually when she's ready. Good luck to you!

P.S. Mimi- so glad you are safe and your home is too!!

Water, Water & more water...It's hard to remember what I want to say as I keep having to step away from de computer & visit the loo!!! Just trying to make sure i'm well hydrated for tomorrow. Watching pirated music on our computer is helping me relax..
Anyone for "Dream On"-aerosmith or "groove is in the heart" dee lite or "princes of the universe"queen or "sailing" rod the mod

It's not going to get below 20c tonight...great...Forecast for tomorrow is 36c..

Well ladies, i'm off to bed soon. My "stuff"is ready for tomorrow & no i've not forgotten the reindeer horns for the run.

X-have you left yet?

bm-Did you manage to clean your house?

Mimi/salsa & the seattle ladies-hope the clean up isn't too painful & the weather improves. Can you please send the rain this way?

Kit-

KG-Sounds like your daughter needs to realize life doesn't revolve around her..

knot/trek-what's the Castro & the mission? How's SF???

Must get to bed soon with the following thought..I sure wish i could swim as fast as i could bike...

Mimi-thank you for the update. I am glad you and your family are safe.

Anyone hear from Salsa?

While you ladies are experiencing storms, we are having unusually warm temps, upper 50s and 60s.

KG-I agree with the advise given thus far from Lisa and CC. She needs to grow up. Not easy for you, but it is her problem.

CC-have a wonderful time, pictures, will will need pictures.

I do not know if X has left yet. My house is still depressingly not clean for company. Slightly freaking out this morning.

[Veronica]

Well, one good way to get your house clean is to have burglars come by. There were a lot of clean spots left in the dust.

hi guys, still at my mother's house.
i checked the seattle city light map and it looks like up north they have power
but where i live.. it's still dark. argh.
my poor kitties..
So,theoretically, Salsa has power. Haven't heard from Eden either. she lives in Seattle too

[Bikingmomof3]

CC- X has indeed left and is taking pictures along the way.

V- My house already looks as though we have been robbed. It is a disaster. What was clean last night, 3 teen boys destroyed this morning.*sigh*

Mimi-thanks for checking on the electricity staus of our fellow TDers. Is Oregon with power? Or did they lose power as well from the storm?

[mimitabby]

I haven't heard a thing abuot portland. But just reading my mother's paper,
it is even worse in seattle than i realized!
one lady DROWNED when a wall of water rushed into her basement!
houses were destroyed by big falling trees. SInkholes are in the middle of streets.
we were very lucky..
and i'm still worried about my cats, it's 32 degrees out/in!
i want to go home and start a fire in the fireplace warm the house up
and hope they turn our power back on today!

It's supposed to snow near here today. Yeah, "sunny california"....

But Seattle sounds less fun.

It's supposed to snow near here today. Yeah, "sunny california"....

Surprise! We do have weather in California! One of our best kept secrets...

I finally got some good news on the elusive promotion - my application has been accepted after some minor changes. Yay! Now they have to "annouce" the position, the specs have been written to match my job description (Must have experience in operating a Linux based D3 database system, along with previous experience in hospital billing/collections..... )

Chloe was limping around yesterday like an old crippled dog. Gave her a dose of doggie advil and made her stay calm (yeah right). Today she is prancing around like a pup again.

For Kit - a Kit to cheer you up:

[mimitabby]

Snap, congrats on being promoted!

Hey guys I am home in my WARM house.
D over fed the cats last night before he left so they are all laying around happy and warm.

I guess this was a rude awakening for those of us in Seattle. We never have power outages so we are not prepared. We don't appreciate our good fortune. It would really be no fun if the power was out for a week, it went below freezing last night.

We are really very fortunate. Now... I have much to do.

[Bikingmomof3]

CONGRATULATIONS Snap!!!!

I am also please that Chloe is more pup like today.

[Bikingmomof3]

Yes, X has had a long drive, but is almost here. She is passing through Columbus, still taking pictures along the way for CC-she said to tell you Ohio is flat.

I should be meeting her in about an hour. Yippeee!!

[mimitabby]

what a riot, scenic drive pictures to send to our friends down under!
hope you guys have a great time!

[Bikingmomof3]

Thanks Mimi! We will be posting pics of our adventures.
