The Wrath of Rita
For those of you who are concerned about the well-being of all of us in Houston, rest assured that only certain areas are at high risk. I am not in one of those areas. Those folks have been evacuated. Which is not to say that I won’t be losing electricity and water for a day or three, but since the kats don’t care what I smell like it shouldn’t be too huge of an issue. I am presently cooking all of the meat/poultry/fish left in my freezer and will re-freeze it once cooked. I will probably be the only person in Texas to get fat during a major natural disaster. Hopefully I won’t burn down the house before Rita even gets near here.
Patio furniture stowed? check. Batteries for flashlights and radio? check. Batteries for Mr. Buzzy? check. Canned food and bottled water? check. Kat fud and medicine? check. Gallon of vodka? check. Box of rotgut wine? check. Loaded gun? check. Dragons moved away from windows? check. Hurricane party invitation(s) received? check. Kats freaking out? check. But only because I haven’t fed them yet.
I’m about as ready as I’m capable of being. See you soon, bitch.

Girl, you need extra batteries for Mr. Buzzy…you’re going to have alot of time on your hands.

Looks like there’ll be TWO wet dirty hoars in Houston this weekend.
Stay safe, dahling.

You take care, chick. If you end up needing to run, remember that there’s plenty mo’ space up here in North Louisiana. We’ll put up your tiny bo-hiney. Be careful.

be careful!!!
One of my sister’s names is Rita (the poor dear). We have now resorted to calling her category 5. I hope the little bitch gets weaker and doesn’t do much damage to your area…

Stay safe, lady. If you want, Continental has a sale from Houston to Raleigh this weekend. Come up and bring the kats. Whatever you do, please be careful.

Well, if the opportunity presents itself, I been looking for a 48″ plasma TV, a L. Vuton Handbag for the lovely wife, and a Mr. Coffee…oh oh and a puppy. Something cute.
Hey, no harm in asking.
Oh yea, be safe and all that crap.

Frannie: I may have to resort to using my hands!
Funky: I feel sorry for anybody who has a hurricane named after them. Mine comes up in 2010.
Jagoff: Kiss my lovely arse!
NGD: Raincheck? literally!
Andy: You and I both know that the handbag is for you. The pink one, right? I’ll try for the plasma TV, but I can only carry one at a time.
Nightmare: Pirate-speak makes me hot!

God, the kats just think it’s all about them. Oh, wait. It is. Have fun riding out the storm…hope you don’t get hit too hard. My mom left this morning at 8 (she IS in a low-lying area). By 11, she was at the junction of 45 & 59. I hope she packed the gallon of vodka…

Boobs secured. Check.

Well, if you get skeered in the middle of the night just give me a jingle. Or…you could just come on over.

I’m praying for you. God keep you safe.
