let's talk weather

Living in Florida makes you well aware of hurricanes and potential storms in our vicinity. But my problem isn't with storms it's with... the weatherman.

This is what's going on today storm-wise:

I'm not by any means a hurricane expert but I have experienced my far share of them. I survived the year of hurricanes that wreaked havoc on Florida in fall of 2004, have gone to more hurricane parties than I can count, and have probably missed at least a month of classes/school due to hurricane. I've lived in Florida my whole life but the rest of my family lives in Mississippi and Louisiana, yes that's right my entire family is in hurricane territory, we're no strangers to destruction and thankfully haven't been severely effected by any of the major hurricanes that have ventured into our cities.

But no matter how many hurricanes I experience or track online, I've never understood why weatherman are so excited about a hurricane coming. Seriously, what is good about a hurricane? Heavy rainfall? High winds? Storm surge? Oh yes dear weatherman these are all things that are wonderful and we would love to have happen to us....  um thanks but I'll pass! Nothing is good about a hurricane except for maybe a day off work. Today while watching the weather channel and the people on the weather channel were uber excited about the three storms out in the Atlantic. Hurricanes are like crack for weatherpeople. Well as the segment progressed, I was shocked to hear this..."hurricane igor was an almost perfect, beautiful hurricane." He was talking about how the hurricane was formed of course but still, a hurricane beautiful, I can't agree with that at all.

So my question for yall is do you think a hurricane is beautiful?

It's Friday?!

 I've been a bad blogger this week... but I figured I could redeem myself by linking up with Jen :)

This week's Favorite Friday topic is:

My Day Just Got A Little Sweeter

This morning I was greeted with a lovely email from Amber from "Life On A Stick" informing me of an award that I received on her blog! How cool is that!?! If you don't know Amber you should really get to know her, she's AWESOME! Not only is she nurse, student, and a wife, she's mom to her sweet girl Emersyn. Go check her blog out, I promise you won't be disappointed.  

Like all good things, there's a little catch, there is some rules you must follow to accept it:

1. Answer this question: If you had the chance to go back and change one thing in your life, would you and what would it be?

I wouldn't do it. All things really do happen for a reason, if you change one thing you could mess up something amazing. If I had gone to another college I wouldn't have met such great people. If I hadn't been late to a class I wouldn't have had to sit in the back and wouldn't know some crazy guys that happened to live down the street from me. If I hadn't gone to their party after a football game, I wouldn't have met their friends, who became my friends and a year later introduced me to my now husband. Life's crazy like that, all things are connected. :)

2. The second thing you have to do is, pick 4 people and give them this award. You then have to inform the people that they have gotten this award.

1. Abby from Murdock's Momma
2. Stephanie from How Sweet it is!
3. Amber from The Survival Guide for the Young, Fabulous, & Newlywed
4. Di from A Little Bit of Life

Be sure to visit these lovely ladies!

3. Pass these on!

Now back to work I go! Have a great Wednesday! Can you believe it's Wednesday already, I just love 4-day weekends :)
