@KathrynwithaY loves Joan Collins: I lasted like 2 months with my EFM. And only that long b/c I told him I wanted to start seeing other people and he was like "well can I keep seeing you too until you find someone you like better?"

By 38 I would like to either have a child or be on my way to adopting one (I have a personal plan that if I don't have a biological child by 35, I'm gonna stop worrying about it and try to get the ball rolling so I can adopt around 40.)

Stolen shamelessly from my friend:

Don't approach me in a bar, notice my engagement ring and say a) "I'd get you a bigger one." and/or b) "You're clearly to independant to get married."

You've posted your pics in my order of preference. I think #1 isn't too dressy for day at all. I'd go with that one for sure. But number two is also good. I don't think number's 3 or 4 would work as well.

Good luck and stay safe, Texan Jezzies!

For the last time, I swear I didn't borrow your concealer!

Congratulations!!!

Nagin says we can come home soonish.

@formerlydictator4life1: Jindall says we can't go home tomorrow. But I want to go home so badly!!

Update: Fox news (I'm watching it mainly to make fun of Gerlado's hurricane coverage) just announced that Sarah Palin says her daughter is currently pregnant and set to marry the father of the baby.

Just woke up at 7:30. Gray and I little rainy and every now and then we get a gust of wind. So far its been anticlimactic even for TS level winds, but apparently its supposed to intensify.

@formerlydictator4life1: I may need a visit from the benzo fairy to get to sleep tonight as well. :P

I had the best evacuation ever. I woke up at 4am Saturday, was on the road by 6am, and got to my parent's house here exactly 80 minutes later (which is how long it normally takes me). I was really surprised that it didn't take longer. There were a lot of cars for an early Sat. morning, but apparently all the traffic…

@melanielectric: yeah I'm on three rivers, actually. so very close indeed!

Anybody read about the problems with contra flow on I-59?

@melanielectric: North of I-10, close to (and north of, actualy) the big strip mall with Old Navy and the movie theater. Its been a ghost town since this afternoon when I made a beer/junk food run. I've been expecting rain bands for like an hour, but nothing so far. It is VERY eerie, I think.

FYI my twitter is shellybean. I've got nothing better to do while I sit and wait, so I'm tweeting a lot.

An update, just b/c I find it interesting. Mom and I went out in Gulfport around 3pm. All the big grocery stores are closed and about half the gas stations are as well. Curfew isn't until 10 though. Driving around an area that is normally packed with people and traffic and seeing so many empty parking lots is surreal.

Checking in. I'm at my family's house in Gulfport, MS. I think we're gonna stay instead of go North. We live North of I-10 and have a very sturdy house and a huge generator. I think we're only expecting 12 hours of tropical storm level winds here.
