They are. Losing the battery and holland tunnels at two. Hope everyone is where they need to be. It feels so weird here, I've got complete quiet almost in e backyard, yet the frog yard has wind whipping the trees. The weather channel is crazy to watch, I'm about to turn it off. The chicks are so quiet today I'm surprised.

The girls are quiet here too. Staying inside the coop.

I got a copy of the papers my mom wanted us to sign. The big secret she didn't want us to see? She's trying to borrow against our interest in the house as well. And my older brother agreed, effectively putting us all on the hook if we sign.

Pray the power goes out before this turns into a huge battle! So angry I could scream...

(Thanks I needed that)

This was on the twitter feed for the NYC Police Scanner:

Brooklyn: 206 Freeman St EMS Treating a victim with serious head injures who was injured by a falling tree what fell on him.

I'm just in love with the way they worded it. You know that's how s/he said it.

You'd love to hear my husband do his "The locals" routine. He's in the Bronx and upper Manhattan, and he's originally from Brooklyn. The locals are the people that live around the firehouse. He brings home new words, and stories-my GOD-he usually has me in stitches.

He had a story yesterday about a run he had-apparently a guy decided that a propane tank was good for scrap metal, so the guy first tried to drain it by...DRILLING A HOLE IN IT!!! How the guy didn't blow himself up was a miracle. the problem was-the neighbors called the police, and since they're not dumb, they called the fire department. The guy was spitting mad that "Dem fooks din wan fa me ta eat dis week" He vowed revenge, so then the police had to come anyway.
A friend of mine who's a EMS medic in the city had a run where there's a guy laying in the middle of the living room, the rest of the family is sitting around him, and watching TV!!! So, the Medic comes in, he asks what happened. "He had fits cuz dint wan take his peanut butter balls" (I'll let you figure that one out)

I love those stories.

Scary though that trees what be falling on people.

I don't blame you. If you need to scream, just let me know-I'll listen. I have horror stories of my step monster, as well. 7 years later, I'm STILL angry at her. (But I tend to hold a grudge for a very long time)


Stay safe, and don't stew in it right now-the storm is stressful enough. Let's talk about crocheting. I saw your squares when she posted them-I love them! I hope mine come out as nice. I'm such an amateur. I'm on square 7. It's taking a very long time, but I have a feeling I'll have loads of time to crochet...

(((HUGS)))

So we've already had apple pie for breakfast, I made a peanut butter chocolate ganache base for truffles, i'm planning biscuits and oven fried chicken for dinner with greens..... help me before I cook again! One would think I'd use this time to get all my writing finished but it's amazing how many distractions I can come up with instead.

My in-laws are staying with us. Say a prayer for me or just plan on visiting me at Bedford Correctional for Women later on after I commit a homicide. JUST KIDDING. They'll never catch me.

Inlaws....I'm praying for you heather!

I just made banana cake and then brownies with peanut butter. We think alike. Keep busy cooking and stay sane.
Tonight stuffed pork chops.......yumm!

your pie made me drool btw............do you ship?????

I love it. Love that he was mad at the people that stopped him from blowing himself up. And I'm guessing the second story is that he didn't want to take his pills?

Sigh I can't believe it's only 11:30. Urgh

Of course! But it's pretty easy, I just rely on lots and lots of butter. 2.5 cups of flour, 2 sticks of butter and about 6 TB of ice water for the pastry - - - I put a teaspoon of sea salt in instead of baking salt, and it was so good. Big flakes of salt contrasting with the sweet apple filling, mmm....

Suzanne, we need to send your mom's friend on a free cruise to nowhere. I hear the coast of Somalia is lovely this time of year.

Whatever you do, don't sign anything.

Put it out of your mind for now suzanne. Nothing to be done today so stay calm and detachyourself for the moment...... or it will make you crazy under these conditions.
