The Boyfriend (update)

Ok. So I'm way overly paranoid about my relationship.

He leaves out details sometimes. That's it. That doesn't mean he's having an affair. It's just that I hear these details later and I'm like where was I when that happened two weeks ago.

I'm really not a neurotic girlfriend. I'm just overly precautious about protecting myself.

That being said (hehehe)I've come to the rational conclusion that he is not having an affair.

Hurricane Katrina in Sin City

She's a bad ass. And she's partying down in SinCity. At 7am this morning, she had already flooded the French Quarter by almost 6 feet. She's got people scrambling to their rooftops so as not to drowned. She is now only a Cat-3 cane, but her winds are still 125mph. I say again, She's a BadASS. She ripped a hole in the roof of the SuperDome!! Those poor old people are now getting rained on inside their Hurricane Evacuation "Shelter". Officials are saying they expect the city that's already 10 feet below sea level to be under 28 feet of water by the end of the storm.

CNN said it's going to be one big bowl of Toxic Gumbo. Nice. Real nice.

Mississippi isn't getting it any better. They've got boats floating down the city streets as they're already under 10 feet of water in Gulfport.

She's a bad ass.

If you pray, pray for those people's lives.

With All That Being Said...

I think this is my new favorite line.

After you blurt out this long speech about something completely absurd which is obviously boring most people attentive to you, you can say "Now. With all that being said" and add something complete out of context to it... and it would be hilarious! For you anyway.

Ok, maybe not. But I like it anyway.

Top Ten Deadliest Hurricanes

10) 1915 - Galveston Texas - Death Toll: 275 - A Category 4 strike on the Gulf of Mexico coast in the same year: Galveston had constructed a seawall after the devastation of the 1900 hurricane. Still, 275 people died when the 1915 storm hit

9) 1915 - New Orleans, LA - Death toll: 275 - This second Category 4 storm caused Lake Pontchartrain to overflow its banks, killing 275 people. That scenario is one that hurricane experts don't like to ponder because if the city, surrounded on three sides by water, is hit by a major hurricane, the storm surge might inundate the city

8) September 1909 - Louisiana - Death toll: At least 350 - The Grand Isle Hurricane came ashore on September 20, 1909, at Berwick before passing inland between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. The Category 4 storm caused $6 million of damage and its 15-foot storm surge inundated much of southern Louisiana.

7) September 1944 - Northeastern United States - Death toll: 394 - The Category 3 "Great Atlantic Hurricane" slowly moved up the East Coast and brushed Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, before bringing 90 mph gusts to downtown Norfolk, Virginia, on September 14, 1944. It then dumped heavy rains on the Northeast. More than 300 of the deaths were people lost at sea.

6) June 1957 - Southwest Louisiana, Northeast Texas - Death toll: 390 - The Category 4 storm hit during the night of June 26, 1957, flooding the low-lying areas of coastal Louisiana. Many of its victims thought they had a day left to leave the area, but the storm accelerated. A 12-foot storm surge moved water as far as 25 miles inland.

5) September 1935 - Florida Keys - Death toll: 423 - The "Great Labor Day" storm was the most intense Category 5 hurricane to make landfall in the United States. Its winds were strong enough to derail a train sent to rescue World War I veterans who had been working on a government building project in the Keys.

4) September 1938 - New England - Death toll: At least 600 - The Category 3 storm struck Long Island on September 21, 1938, at high tide and brought hurricane-force winds all across New England. Rainfall from this hurricane resulted in severe river flooding across sections of New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut. More than 8,000 homes were destroyed, mostly by a storm surge of 12 to 16 feet, and some 6,000 boats wrecked or damaged.


3) September 1919 - Florida Keys and Corpus Christi, Texas - Death toll: 600 to 900 - This Category 4 storm went over the Keys, crossed the Gulf of Mexico and hit Corpus Christi, Texas. Many of the victims were aboard ships at sea. Bob Simpson, co-developer of the Saffir-Simpson scale used to measure hurricane strength, was forced to flee the storm as a teen in Corpus Christi.


2) September 1928 - Lake Okeechobee, Florida - Death toll: 1,836 - This Category 4 hurricane ravaged Puerto Rico, and residents of Florida had little warning before the powerful storm slammed into the Lake Okeechobee area near Palm Beach. The storm breached a levee around the lake -- and most of the storm victims drowned.


1) September 1900 - Galveston, Texas - Death toll: 8,000-12,000 estimated - The deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history, the Galveston hurricane of 1900 is estimated to have killed between 8,000 and 12,000 people. The Category 4 hurricane struck on September 8, 1900, leveling 12 city blocks, nearly three-quarters of the island city of Galveston, Texas. A Galveston, Texas, forecaster had dismissed as absurd the notion that a hurricane could devastate the island city. Then along came the storm that would turn into the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history. The forecaster, Isaac Cline, later described the storm's aftermath as "one of the most horrible sights that ever a civilized people looked upon."

The Captain's Wife

So as you all know my little Tre, now 5, started Kindergarten this year. Poor me.

He came home today and told me of his new music teacher, Mrs. Morgan.

He said "She's really pretty. And can sing really good. But she doesn't have a boat."

(Um, ok. ?)

"Why do you think she should have a boat, Tre?"

To this he snidely replied "Because her husbands a pirate."

A little curious, I decided to question this "A pirate? Are you sure?"

"Yea, Mom, Captain Morgan!!"

O my god. I had nothing else to say. I must be a drunk, and the music teacher probably knows this. My 5 year old not only knows of Captain Morgan but he also knows what his occupation is!

I'm addicted to Post Secrets

and this morning I found this. Bastards!

I don't think that I have to worry about this though, I'm always super nice to the baristas at Starbucks.
I should be since I always give the wrong name to put on the cup.
There is usually a theme, lately it's been stripper names.

This morning I was Diamond.

Leon doesn't charge $2.61 for his Gas.

Unlike the Petrol companies my dog, Leon, has enough gas for everyone - free of charge! Must be the scrambled eggs I gave him earlier. DISGUSTING!

And of course when I work at home on mornings such as this he tends to get some type of pre-emptive separation anxiety so he follows me around the house and sits right next to me everytime I sit down. I

ACK!!

Now Share The Pain!

too bad there's not a way to produce smell .wav files! You really would be sharing the Pain.


Maybe he's trying to get back at me for getting him fixed two years ago. Sorry Leon.

I have Relationship Paranoia

I can't stop thinking "Is he lying to me?" "Is he cheating on me?" "Who is he really out with?" "His brother? Yea right!" "Should I drive by his house to see whose car is in his driveway?"

What is WRONG WITH ME??

I'll tell you what's wrong with me!

I've been lied to before.

I've been hurt before.

I can't deal with it happening again!

I don't want to cry anymore.

But I don't know if I'm paranoid or if I should trust my 'Womanly Instincts'.

AAAAHHHHH!

Judge with poor judgement

I had a Circuit Court Judge tell me today that he made his secretary call me to tell me something. He also added that he knew exactly what his secretary told me over the phone because he was standing right there throughout the entire conversation.

Don't Judges have better things to do than to listen to a secretary's conversation??

Doesn't he pay her like thirty-five thousand a year to make phone calls for him?? If he has to stand there and listen to all of her phone calls wouldn't it just be easier and cheaper for him to make his own phonecalls??

Look at this Kid.

I just happen to find this under Google images. CRAZY!!

Just goes to show you

how interesting my posts are to blogville: I don't post for two months, then post about something as big as a real boyfriend and the only comment I get is a mass-post/comment (not sure how they did that) about some new fast-growing pine tree.

piss off!

I think I have a..... DUHN DUHN DUHN.... Boyfriend.... (que blood curdling scream)

Well some of you may be wondering why it's been almost two months since I've posted anything, most of you may not be wondering anything about me since I haven't posted anything in two months!

I am a bad blogger. I know.

However, even though I am a bad blogger, I apparently am a good girlfriend. Or at least I have a very understanding and patient boyfriend.

THAT's RIGHT! I have a Boyfriend!!!

He's sweet, he's cute, he's chivalrous & old-fashioned, he's a cowboy! He sports trucker hats. He goes fishin'. He loves his Chevy. He opens doors. He gets mad if I even mention paying for anything. He's ADORABLE! And best of all, he's puts up with all of my perfections!
