David and I went to Mathious and Julies yesterday. They invited us over for dinner. It was fabulous, we craved pumpkins. Mathious and Julie were virgins… yay virgins! Its more fun with a virgin. Ahem

Smiling to myself secretly when the news meantions lake okeechobee, hurricane warnings and the keys, but not vero! And not realizing that okeechobee is only about 60 miles SW of us…which would leave us either in the eye’s path, or worse, on the northern side of the eye wall (which is worse than the eye, you get all the winds)…i realized my mistake.

We went to skipper’s house to pick up a footlocker for the baby stuff (which is the most sacred things I own at the moment, followed by the computer and a bunch of paintings and canvases) it was odd to see a good deal of the town boarded and shuttered up.

David taped up the windows in the condo and we moved anything sacred into the guest bathroom, which next to ours is the only other room in the house not on an outside wall with a window. Solaris helped in her usual way…by kicking me.

And so it is my luck…Sitting here with my jaw in shambles, my first hurricane coming, and pregnant, it will make for an interesting story to tell Solaris, 13 years down the road when i give her the “I gave you life, I can take it away” speech. Its not as terrible as it sounds however, so i realize that i am still as strong as I have been.

Oh pooh. Looks like Wilma is headed this way after all. :( Because the condo’s so close to the Ocean, we will be evacuated, even though it is coming from behind us. (vero is on the atlantic coastline). David and I are running down to Fort Pierce on Sunday to stock up on…fish. I don’t know. He is going to tape up the windows, throw everything valuable in the shower(The TV and…)…ok, throw the TV in the shower, pack up the computer, the shell, the solaris (already neatly packaged) and the fish named marley and head over to Mia’s house for a fish (NOT marley)and chips party (chips being chips of asphalt roofing tiles of all the people who didn’t get new rooves after last years storm… and a few who did.) Sigh, so close to making it through the season unscathed. But atleast it is cool enough now that it won’t be too bad having no power for a few days. Crap, candels. I forgot to get candels.

Beth came over last night, bearing a big bag of osh-kosh for Solaris. I can’t believe her and Sal. They bought a bunch of pink outfits for her. I can’t wait for her to be here now. There is too much cute things waiting for her (…to poop on). :) FLUFFY BUNNY SLIPPERS!

Pregnancy, yay. I like pregnancy, except for the things it does to your body and the limitations it causes on treating those things. For example, today, I got my tooth pulled. Well, it is more like I got my tooth “surgically removed.” My tooth was the demon tooth, it hated life. It wanted to make me miserable, and it didn’t want to die. But the dentist had other ideas. So he yanked and chipped and sawed the tooth until it was in bitty pieces on a tray. The dentist won, he also doubled his fee from a 125 extraction to a 300 surgical proceedure. Now I am a hillbilly with a missing tooth. There is an identity that will need some getting use to. But atleast it is in the back and the devil tooth is no more. Hopefully we made an example out of it and none of the other teeth will try anything stupid. And so with a big hole in my head do i get the fun stuff like oxycotin or vikes? nope, i get tylenol and no loosy t-shirt. I told the doctor it was my baby and she will probably love oxycotin, because she has been doing nothing but craving beer, sushi and raw meat since day one, but like the beer, sushi and raw meat, she will get none.

And then there is a hurricane heading this way… or so the american news channels want you to believe. I am not worried until the track map shows her actually making that big, giant “U”. I think it is all hype, but ask me again on monday when I am surfing down A1A. David was planning on how to board up the house today, which made me a bit nervous. I won’t worry too much. But that is the problem with a house this close to the beach.

Speaking of surfing main streets, i spoke with nina in Taunton, Mass. She got evacuated and was sitting in a Holiday Inn last we spoke. She’ll be ok.

Love and such from the land of babies, novacaine and hurricanes.

:)

…and going insane. How am i suppose to wait three more days to find out the sex. :( I can’t take the wait.

David and I went to go see the pups run the agility competitions up at the fairgrounds. They were so cute. Itty bitty tiny shelties and such. I had fun.

Baby kicked me so hard today that I actually saw my belly jump.
