Friday Five

I saw an idea I really like on the awesome Gitzen Girl blog called Friday Five, where you simply list five things about your week. I love it! :D Want to join me?

1.  It rained the last few days. A lot. It rained so much people were making ark jokes. The storms were so bad we had tornado warnings. Not tornado watches, mind you, the really bad warnings that mean tornadic winds are churning. The loud speakers at work told us all to take cover. Yikes! Roads closed all over the region due to flooding. The winds were whipping the rain around, rendering umbrellas all but useless. I’ll say it again (because no other made up word quite describes it correctly)…it was cray cray.

2.  Rusty has blood pressure issues, but is otherwise very healthy! YES! That makes me one happy woman. :D

3.  I can not believe it is October already. Yowzers. The weather today is overcast and cool. Perfect sweater weather. Woot! I am ready for cozy fall clothes and boots. I love boots.

4.  Next weekend we are going to Elkhart, IN, to visit some friends. Rusty will go to his annual Notre Dame football game (go Irish!) and I will go shopping. Woooooot! I could use a few new articles of clothing since most of what I have been wearing is way too big. Awesome. I will be hunting for things to go with my awesome boots, such as, skinny jeans & pants, skirts, dresses, flowy tops, boyfriend cardigans, belts, a scarf or two, and textured nylons. I’m so excited to be getting a few new rockin' trendy things for a skinnier me!

5.  Rusty and I want to go to a cabin in WV sometime soon. We have identified a few weekends that might work, so I will start checking out accomodations this weekend. We really need a weekend getaway. Badly! We are looking forward to playing Wii, watching movies, snuggling, possibly a fire place, and generally relaxing it up.
