Hunkering down

Monday, October 29, 2012

The weekend was kind was oddly quiet and mainly spent preparing our apartment for the coming storm.  Saturday was even quite sunny, so it was odd to be running out to buy things like peanut butter, bread, candles (heaven help me, I can't find our flashlights), and pallets of bottled water.  Anticipating days without power, I did load upon load of laundry, ran the dishwasher, and vacuumed the apartment.  I also cleared our balcony of all furniture and plants.  So far it is just very rainy here this morning and the lights are on but it sounds like it will be a different story by this time tomorrow.

I did manage to sneak out for a few hours to Lindsey's for a pumpkin carving party.  It was great to get out of the apartment for a brief window before the storm and enjoy fantastic mac & cheese, fun friends and a little seasonal tradition.  As an added bonus, we now have a festive source of light when the power goes out!

happy little pumpkin
Happy Monday and please stay safe in the face of this crazy storm everyone!
