It was a dark and stormy night...

...seriously! I was home sick from work yesterday, I was sitting watching TV minding my own business when I noticed how unusually dark it was, it's only 3 o'clockish and it looks like dusk.

I knew we were supposed to have some wild weather last night, but I had no idea it would be that bad. Yeah, so I don't watch the news or the weather channel or any of that. Most of the weather information I have is hearsay. So there I am, I decide to switch to one of the local stations and the regularly scheduled Oprah was not on! OMG! There's this huge radar map thingy that shows my impending doom on the horizon.

Big, bad, mean, storms rolling up from the southwest. You know, thunder, lightning, gallons of rain, hail and tornadoes. The first thing that runs through my head "Oh man, I can't wait to see this!" It's like the Grim Reaper is knocking on my door, and not only do I want to open the door, I want to invite him in and hand him the freaking sickle.

I absolutely love storms, I always have, my mother would scold me for saying that, but I honestly do. I love to go and drive through the hail, howling wind, lightning, and torrential rain. I don't know why, I just do. Unfortunately it was not to be, I was still sick, thus being at home, and I really didn't feel like going anywhere. I know some people lost a lot in the storms and I truly do sympathize with them. I still can't help but hope that another one comes through soon. I can't wait to go driving in the storm with ole GR as my passenger.
