Its not everyday that a real tornado, not just those pesky 50mph wind gusts, actually comes barreling through your city...good thing I was out of town.
I spent the Easter holiday eating endless meals and then walking around the city with my family, trying to work off all of the food that I continued to consume. Like every other holiday weekend the time flew by at break neck speed and before I knew it I was boarding the plane again, home bound. The flight attendant was straight out of an episode of "What Not To Wear" and seemed a bit unconcerned with procedure during the flight. However, I should not complain as that is a stark (and welcome) contrast to hysterical flight attendants I have had in the past who make you feel as if the plane is going to crash and burn at any moment...
Upon returning home I felt as though I had entered the weather channel series "Storm Stories" and was relieved to find the house was still in one piece - although the ever present battle with the neighbors for piece, quiet, and no drugs rages on. As our pilot on the flight had mentioned...there is "alot of water going on here". Still raining with no end in sight, we now have flood warnings popping up across different counties. Surely there are some people bracing for the apocalypse with all these catastrophic weather events we have had lately. My home owner's insurance renewal policy came in the mail today, quite fitting as it seems I need to beef up my coverage in case of disaster.
Lunch was odd today, met an old coworker for lunch, enjoyed her company BUT the waiter did not understand the difference between: milk, cream, and cheese...ok they are all from the same thing, but in completely different forms. After assuring me that the sauce contained "cream" and not "cheese", my food arrived smothered in cheese...after two send-backs I gave up and ordered dessert as we were running out of time. The waiter gave me a cross look when I ordered the "cheesecake"...clearly this man did not understand that all just because it has the word cheese in it, doesn't mean that it tastes the same. So today my food intake was extremely peculiar: cheesecake, easter jellybeans, sauteed green beans, and leftover mashed potatoes. Clearly not the picture of health, to be fair there is not enough food in the house and I believe I have eaten my weight three times over in food this weekend - so there seem to be some reserves.
