• Are you worried about me?

  Don’t be. The only injury I have sustained while sheltering in place for Hurricane Sandy is a scrape on my thumb from the cheese grater. I got a little too aggressive with the parmegiano reggiano.

  For our area, this storm has been a waiting game. We thought it was going to hit us Saturday, then Sunday. It was slightly breezy and grey both days, but that was about it. We awoke this morning to rain and some wind – but it sure doesn’t look like a hurricane out there. The schools are all closed anyway, and I suspect they may stay closed tomorrow.

  The storm is certainly a big one, and is having a major impact on areas closer to the coast. The bullseye is headed straight for the part of NJ where I grew up, so I’m switching channels frantically and monitoring Facebook posts constantly, trying to get a true picture of what’s going on up there. It’s either that or feed the kids AGAIN…..so.

  The kids are happy to watch coverage on The Weather Channel, because they remember seeing some naked streakers running behind a reporter in VA Beach during the last hurricane. You never know what education live TV will provide!

  I just reminded our daughter of some of the things she needs to accomplish today (practicing piano, working on a book report), and she was horrified at the thought of getting off the couch. It’s kind of a sloth like atmosphere around here.

  We’re working on Halloween costumes, too, and hoping that the rain/wind will be gone before trick-or-treating. I’ll probably get them carving pumpkins this afternoon – if we can stay off the couch long enough to get it done.
