Another hot day ahead

It's August around here and you can tell by the weather outside. What else would you expect at this time of the year except 100 degree weather?

Since i last updated this.....

we had a hurricane last week. It hit Brownsville directly but didn't do much damage. It was a tropical storm when it was only a few miles off the coast but when it make landfall it had upgraded to a category 2. That's why a lot of people didn't really prepare because they thought i'd be no big deal but they had almost a day and a half of rain and 100 mph winds. Even though mom and dad's house and susan's did okay, some people did loose their homes. There's still some flooding right now.

Mary and family went on a road trip for the last few days. They were here last night on their way back home. They escaped the hurricane but walked right in to an earthquake. Last week during the earthquake in California they happened to still be there. After it hit Mary called me all freaked out, that they had just had an earthquake. It was funny in a way because never in their wildest dreams did they think they'd be going through that so they were unprepared, they didn't know what to do but they're okay.

We haven't been able to go watch the new batman movie but maybe we'll catch The Mummy tomorrow.

Last Saturday we went to Graham Central Station to celebrate Sylvia's bday. Here 35th. Ha! She'll kill me for saying that. Usually we don't frequent those places but we made an exception. It was funny because i had to show my id before security would let me in. That gets kinda old eventually. Chavis and Venetta were there as well as her brother and sister in law. She did her share of dancing with Chavis but we just hung out, had a beer, and left around 11 oclock. As soon as we got home we tossed the clothes into the hamper and had to take a shower cuz our hair was all stinky of cigarette smoke. Yesterday she gave out thank you notes in appreciation for what we did to help her celebrate her bday. At work we got her a card, took up a collection to get her a gift card from JCPenney and took her out to lunch. I also made some strawberry cupcakes that thankfully came out pretty good. They tasted even better with the strawberry frosting.

We recently downgraded our cable to just basic service and i'm still trying to get used to it. I miss watching the closer, all the usa series and of course, dr who on sci fi (yesterday was the season finale) but i decided it was time to cut the cord and find more productive things to do w/my time. I received the assignment back and i have to buckle down and start working on the next one even though it's not due until the 24th but last month i turned it in late. I need to work on my writing some more and do some other stuff.
