How's it going out there, Nesties?
Here in Takoma Park we've had some heavy rain and strong winds, but so far we're in good shape with power, cable, etc. I'll be sad when it goes out and I can't watch the 24/7 news coverage anymore!
Re: Irene Check-In
It's barely raining at my house in Kensington and barely breezy.
I just went to the grocery store because DH wants me to make cookies (ywia). They grocery store was pretty well stocked and there weren't many people in there at all.
They had the windows taped up though. lolWe make the rockin' world go 'round.
so far so good
periods of heavy rain with strong wind in arlington. the cable is cutting in & out though. not sure if this is an issue with the connection in our bedroom vs. an actual issue.
we made chicken wings for dinner b/c there's nothing like junk food for riding out a storm! hehehehe

DH had buffalo wings as an afternoon snack! With a donut.
All good here in Falls Church so far, but as we keep hearing, the best is yet to come...

Fortunately, we have not lost power and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we don't. We rarely ever lose it, so I'm hoping that trend continues!! but our internet is a little slow, I'm trying to download a movie and it's taking for-e-ver. (but I'm not really complaining, if that's the biggest inconvenience of this storm, I'll take it!!)
I made cinnamon pancakes for dinner with apple syrup and baked apples (and bacon of course) for dinner. I have been craving apples like crazy and that dinner totally hit the spot! I can't wait to have leftovers tomorrow for breakfast ;-)
DH had to work today. I took the kids to a playground this morning at 10:00 to get some energy out. Started raining hard around 10:30, but then we went to a friend's to visit/hang out. After lunch, long naps for the kids (and about 20 minutes for me - score!), then the girls donned raincoats and rain boots and splashed in puddles for about an hour. DH came home - we made dinner - made drinks - made more drinks (what is it about bad weather makes me want to drink?) - kids to bed - watching TV now. More drinks.
All in all, not a bad day! Power on so far.
