Scrap a Day, August 23rd
Good morning cherries! Jeffrey did great. He's recuperating nicely. I'll know more information when the lab results come back on the lump they removed as it was larger than we thought. Dental went fantastic as he didn't have any teeth pulled. That helps alot!

Here is last night, just hanging out with us

Image

As you can tell, I never scrapped last night and I doubt I'll get any scrapping today either. We are still watching Harvey - he's slowly moving across the Yucatan and will be in the Bay of Campeche soon. Once he does, we'll figure out where landfall will be. Yesterday, it was expected between Lousiana coast or anywheres on Texas coast. Uh..have you seen the size of Texas's coast? But as of 7am, he's now expected between Houston and Matagorda Bay. If you don't know where that is, Matagorda Bay is about 50 miles north of corpus Christi. And for weather wise, you want to be SOUTH of a storm. Anybody NORTH of landfall will get the bad winds and torrential rains/flooding. Yesterday, it was forecasted that we could get up to 10 inches of rain here. But because he's moving more north/northwest now, it'll be more like 2-4 inches of rain in a 3 day period. We get that in Spring without Tropical Storms/Hurricanes. But that's not to say we won't be prepared. Meds/food are stocked up for the babies. Vehicles are gassed up and cash has been pulled out just in case. Generator is in full working order and I'll go get groceries later today. Fully stocked with water and batteries. Today, we'll cycle thru the storm shutters and DH will get sandbags ready to go in the areas that flood when we get ONE inch of rain. By Friday, we'll just sit back and relax. Image

Sounds like you're well prepared!  Hope you don't end up in an emergency situation, but always better to be prepared.  That's how I am with our tornado watches and sometimes warnings... 

And. glad Jeffrey did well with his doctor's visit and surgery.  Hope you get good results from the lump.

I probably won't scrap today either... need to fill out DD#2's birthday invitations-I thought it would be an alright idea to buy My Little Pony invitations instead of printing my own with cut and paste images, but now I have to write out all the info inside ... unless, I type it up and glue it in .... Image  
And, then we have church tonight, and last night I bailed on DH and made him decide to take the kids for supper out (they went to a little local burger joint), because I went to a family visitation for my cousin who passed away.  I can't make it to the funeral today with picking kids up so close to the time, and anyway, I need to cook supper tonight to make up for being gone, lol.  Image  I have some chicken boiled and was going to turn it into chicken and dumplings ... sounds good right now, lol...

Yeah, you gotta be prepared. I've lived here on the coast all my life. The people who just moved here have no clue. They either panic immediately, start freaking out OR they don't think a TS or Hurricane can do much damage. I'm almost a pro!Image

And thank you Kim on Jeffrey. I was so worried about him yesterday. That's alot for a 13+ year old doggie. But Dr. Hoke said he was great and did great. No red flags at all.

Sounds like you're pretty busy too. And hugs to you on the loss of your cousin. I'm sorry

Glad Jeffrey is doing well and please stay safe!

Today is my hubby's birthday and even though we went out to dinner on Saturday, we're heading out to the mall to pick up another shirt for him.  We went on Monday and got one shirt and two pairs of pants and now I want to get him the same shirt but in a different color.  Then we will go somewhere to eat - hopefully a lot less expensive than the restaurant we went to Saturday night.

I did finish this layout that I started yesterday.

Re: Scrap a Day, August 23rd
Brandy, It looks like it is a very good thing you are so prepared! I was just watching Good morning America and the forecast for Corpus Cristie is scary!  They are on the verge of updating the storm from tropical to hurricane. I sure hope and pray it looses strength quickly! Good luck!
