Calm before a Storm

Hello all - thought you should know that a Category 4 Hurricane (perkily named Dean) is headed toward some chunk of the Gulf Coast. I and other TX residents will know sometime (hopefully by Monday) whether we live in that particular chunk or not.

Current addictions:

Absolutely freakin' amazing and as addicting as...something very addicting! Most especially Submachine and its variations and Daymare Town.

Also, I tried the slogan name thingy BigRedHammer posted on his blog.

Here be's my slogan: "There's no party like a Mighty Guin Party."

I tend to agree.

All Quiet on the Texas Front

...And my toes are cold. For those of you unfamiliar with the hot 'n' humid south, every building you go in is as air conditioned as folks can make it to compensate for the great outdoors. As a result of working in a very air conditioned building, I've been freezing most days this week.

Measures taken against becoming an unseasonable popsicle:
Hot cocoa and peppermint tisanes at work
Wearing sweaters every day
Rubbing my hands together to restore feeling

Oddly, the most simple solution is the only one I haven't tried: step outside on my break and soak up the warm-wet-towel feeling.

Sigh - I wish the fruit season down here weren't over already. All the berries are over and done with due to the heat. So is our basil plant. The next thing to be in season down here will likely be pecans, which won't be until November. And my lucky-bum friends out Utah-way will just be starting to enjoy peaches!

I must find myself a more productive pastime than griping.

Gonna go eat, then maybe sew a bit! Hope all's well elsewhere and otherwise.
