As we finish getting ready for school today, we watch the morning news for updates from Hurricane Katrina. Yes, as a family, we like to pay attention to such important events, and how they may affect us.

Newsperson on TV: "[...] two people are dead in Ft. Lauderdale because of trees falling on them due to winds from Hurricane Katrina..."

Kiki: "Awww... trees falling down, Mom."

Because I honestly believe that what Jay really needs is one of these.

And no, I honestly don't believe it's ever too early during the day for an Appletini.

There, 'nuff said.

Reason for weeping? This night's episode -series finale- of Six Feet Under.

I can't believe how intense and moving and amazing this episode was, or the entire series for that matter.

Now, off to get something to ease this headache, and emotionally prepare myself for the encore tomorrow night.

Finally, you get to see my mug in a pic. The only two pictures of me from our trip. I insist the reason I'm actually in the picture has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I had already indulged in 3 Cocotinis (yeah, coconut martini). I swear, it was the most orgasmic drink I've ever had. No, I'm sorry, but I don't have a picture of that particular drink. ;o)

My Lobster and me

Now that school has begun, I've been very busy, and haven't been able to get online. Bike riding early in the morning, then getting the kids ready for school. Also, I'm serving as a volunteer at school -even after school hours. By the time I get home its time for the kids, dinner and housework. Slowly getting my time organized, and today I've been able to squeeze in some online time, and later tonight I've set out some time for painting. *grin*

Here are a some beautiful views of a few places we visited while in Puerto Rico. Different days, different places, except for the last two. Click on them to make them larger; enjoy!

Sadly, you won't find Yours Truly in any of these pictures. Actually, you'll be lucky to find but one picture in which I'm featured, but that won't be today. :o)
