So it turns out that shopping for a house is not nearly as much fun as I thought it would be. We are first time home buyers which means we won't exactly be choosing from a long list of dream homes. No, we are not looking to purchase this little fixer-upper shown in the picture (although the land/property is gorgeous) although the ones we have looked at are not much different. Our real estate agent keeps showing us places with "potential." Umm...forgive me for thinking so, but "potential" is a word used to describe the hot & careless guy you just went out with for the first time. An initial rush full of possibilities and "potential" but in the end you are left with something that frightens the piss out of you. And speaking of scary...whatever house we decide to purchase is ours for better or worse. No more picking up and moving if we like, no more worry-free renting, no more...FREEDOM! This is a much harder decision for me than getting married was.

so are the days of our lives

Will we survive this storm? And the next one? and then the next?

Some people infer too much from how we used to give all of our storms female names. The current method, alternating the names between male and female names is much more accurate I think. Both are capable of destruction.

TS Hanna...I guess there's more than 1 she-devil out there...

So...Hanna is threatening to strike at any moment but she keeps teasing us. Will she or won't she?

Hanna: Maybe I'll hang out around the islands for a few days and let you guys worry about what you are going to do with your precious kitty if I decide to come your way.

Me: I wish you would make up your stikin mind. I have clemson football to worry about.

Hanna: Take it easy...I don't like to be rushed.

Me: Would you feel differently if I told you my husband recently purchased a weather radio that sounded its brain-piercing alarm this morning at 5am to let us know that we are on a Hurricane Watch?
