Cripes, Suzette!

Teh Suck

Central Jersey weather update: it wasn't sunny today but at least it was dry. I went out on the deck at about 6:00 and as soon as the atmosphere saw me out there, it sent a big dark cloud my way. A very few scattered drops fell here and there so I maintained my deck chair position. After a few minutes of toying with me, the cloud opened up and diluted my martini before I could get under the canopy.

This falls into the category of "a shame".

I Battened Down My Hatches In Preparation For High Winds And Heavy Rains And All I Got Was This Slightly Damp Chair Cushion

I prepared for yesterday's weather prediction of high winds and heavy rains by taking down my patio umbrella, gathering the furniture cushions under the gazebo and moving some plants from their stands to the floor.Then I went out for some fun- a swing through the the local Christmas Tree Shop, then some grub at Carrabba's and a completely sybaritic indulgence of a stop for something a non-nutritious with a high calorie count and an even higher guilt factor.

The worst weather-related thing that happened to me is that I had to turn my wipers on high while I was driving from Carraba's to Dunkin' Donuts. The worst thing that happened to me overall is that Carrabba's no longer has the Spicy Lentil Soup on the menu.

Then, this morning, I found that one of my chair pads got dripped on.

I note this in my Extreme Weather file for future reference.
