Hurricane Ike

Tim and I prepared for Ike by going to the grocery store on Wednesday night and loading up on water, ice, propane, food and most important beer/wine. :) We also brought in all of the patio furniture and grill into the garage. I had the weekend all planned out. Friday, I am supposed to close my office early to allow my employees to make it home safely. Then meet Sabrina, Sam, Amber, and my hubby for Happy Hour at Waterloo Ice House, which is not even 2 miles down the street from all of us. That way if things got really bad we could all be home in less than 5 minutes. On Saturday, I was supposed to sleep in and miss our 18 mile Mt. Bonnell run in the morning. As for the rest of the weekend, just relax, rest and start celebrating Tim's 30th birthday. I do have some relatives in town from Houston so I figured there would be a family party/dinner sometime over the weekend too. We would invite Sabrina and Sam over to the house to help drink all of the beer/wine we bought on Wednesday and left overs from the housewarming party since they only live 3 streets down from us. Doesn't that sound like a great weekend?? Not anymore, Ike has decided to turn east instead. There goes my plans. Bummer :(
