Six for Saturday: Hurricane Irene

1. My dad parked his truck next to the house to protect it from any falling trees. In any other circumstance, I would poke fun at him for being redneck with his truck on the lawn.

2. My grandma in Hampton hasn't really gotten much even though South Hampton was evacuated.

3. My parents have been without power most of the day, but have a generator, so don't feel too bad for them.

4. A little boy near my parents was crushed to death when a tree fell on his house. I told them to all stay downstairs, as if they didn't know.

5. I'm super happy that it is weakening and has recently dropped to a category one.

6. The mail was delivered on time. Rain or shine. Hurricane or not...

Six for Saturday: Things my sister and I did

My sister came to visit me 2 weeks ago. Here are some of the things we did

1. We went to Lagoon. I got sunburned a lot. She only got a little (because she's so tan).

2. We played board games and had a blast!

3. I was the big sister that showed her little sister a cool, new hairstyle.

4. We both played laser tag for the first time.

5. We went shopping at the biggest outdoor mall I've ever seen.

6. We laughed a ton!

Six for Sunday: Staying Cool

1. Drink lots of water! Staying hydrated is important! Make it ice water for the cool factor

2. Get A/C or a swamp cooler. A/C is better. If you can get neither, buy a fan. If that's not good enough, buy a bag of ice, put it in a shallow bowl and put it in front of the fan.

3. If you have no cooling system, put fans in your windows at night. Be sure to close all your windows by 10 AM.

4. Keep the blinds or curtains shut during the heat of the day.

5. Go to a movie. :)

6. Play in the water. Sprinklers, pools, water parks, heck, even the shower.

Six for Saturday: Looking Forward

Six things I'm looking forward to...

1. August 8th. My sister arrives

2. The children's switch around at work to be over with

3. My birthday. 24 sounds better than 23 for some reason.

4. Our anniversary. 3 years!

5. Phone upgrade in October! I'm ready for an android!

6. My husband being sworn in already, and an estimated date for boot camp.
