Hurricane Wilma has come and gone, and here at home we're all safe. I'm counting my blessings. I hope all my other Orlando area bloggers and friends are doing well and hopefully haven't suffered any damage. Much of South Florida suffered damage. (CNN)
With the constant tornado watches and warnings, I ended up going to bed at noon today, took an hour nap, and was then back up and taking care of mine.
It was fun though, being up all night with my kids. To keep them from being worried of the storms effects, we played card games, watched some TV, and munched on brownies. Our late night-early morning movie was Finding Neverland, which is now among my favorite movies. My kids truly enjoyed it, particularly my son, who identified with the writing part. I hope he continues to be inspired. Just before they drifted off to sleep, we had some yummy hot cocoa. If you ask my kids, last night was one of the best. So, mission accomplished. ;o)
I did finish one painting yesterday, and I'm going to put the finishing touches on another one. Sad thing is I'm running out of pastels, so I'll have to do some shopping to replace the colors I'm short of soon. I'll need to shoot some pictures before I have these framed, so I hope to have something to show you this week.
All for now, I need to finish up a bio, and several pieces I'm writing. Since I'm handwriting these, I'll be doing this outside. The weather is beautiful now, and it's cold! Well, more like very cool and breezy! Feels like we went from Summer to Fall in 20 minutes. You couldn't tell there was a hurricane making its way through less than five hours ago.
Plus, I need to get the kids ready for tomorrow. Somehow, they are in holiday-mode. Wouldn't that be nice?
Glad you're all safe, zee. Good to see you! Thanks for stopping by my place! :)
Happy to hear you made it through with all parts intact.
What do we have to bribe you with to find out where you're publishing your writings, or how we can get our grubbies on them?
I tried calling the Tampa area today, and the static on the line was awful. Couldn't hear the grandparents. Hope they fix that soon.
good evening. glad the storm left you in one piece.
Glad to hear you came through it fine as well. I'm looking forward to seeing your art work!
Finding Neverland was fantastic, wasn't it? Did you catch the outtakes at the end of the DVD? Oh my gosh!
glad to hear you are all safe and sound :)

Glad to know that you are all safe.

Tell me, were you snuffling and sobbing by the end of Finding Neverland as I was???
I am so glad to hear that you are safe and well! {Hugs}
i'm so glad to hear that you guys are safe as well. my entire family has been worried sick about my baby sister in fort lauderdale the past few days, and i'm happy to report she is safe, too.
isn't hurricane season OVER yet?
ugh.
Did you really visit a blog just like mine, or did you say that to get to visit your blog? Cheeky.
BTW, you're now a part of the Kracker Clan, your link is up :D
Oh, I adored Finding Neverland too! I think I and half the theatre were sobbing throughout it's last 20 mins.
It's great to hear that things are going well for you. Yay on the finished art and almost finished writings!
I'm glad you guys were kept safe, and it's so lovely to hear that families can still have a great night together.
Glad you are okay. You'll remember that night forever, won't you all.
I'll have to rent Finding Neverland now.
