Flash Flood!

     Don't worry, we are not knee deep in water right now, but in some intersections it was ankle deep with water. The story began as me and my mother went to Costco to get my new glasses and other nessesities in the store including Ibeprofen and Tylenol and other various things. On the way back we get a phone call from my brother, wondering what type of vacuum bags we needed. Oh, by the way, we use totally outdated vacuum that needs bags, instead of those fancy ones that don't need bags, but use a bin to catch the debris in. Anyway, we found out that we needed to get more vacuum bags. So my brother and I went on the adventure of finding the vacuum bags. Just as we were leaving it began to rain heavily. As my brother and I were running in the store, and getting soaked, we discovered that the store we went to did not hold any vacuum bags. How can this happen? Is our family that far behind in the new technologies? I was a bit frustrated with the store, so we decided to go to our local Wal-Mart. Thankfully we did get those darn vacuum bags, and started our way home but decided to take a detour to go past the drainage pool to see how far it has risen, and to our surprise, the intersections and part of the roads were flooded, but not too much that we couldn't drive through, so we got home pretty safely. But as we ran in and out of Wal-Mart, we were soaked, and my balerina flats were squelching and squeaking against the dingy white tile floors of the store. As soon as I got home there was lots of weather warnings on the TV and radio warning us to not go outside and not stay under trees(who would in a thunderstorm?) and beware of the flooded intersections as you drive home. Thankfully I am now in dry clothes and finally starting to warm up, so here are the pictures that you wanted from the road trip yesterday!

I just wanted to thank you guys to reading my blog even though I am a complete nut! THANKS!!!!
