Ix-nay on the Ind-way
I walked outside my house this morning and the wind took my breath away -- not the beautiful, awe-inspiring, thank God I'm alive take my breath away, but the bone-chilling, gasping for air, praying that I can travel the 15 feet to my car in less than three seconds take my breath away. I think I didn't move quite far enough south to avoid winter.
The wind has been pretty crazy for the past two days. There was no power on my block when I got home from work last night. I almost turned around and drove anywhere else, but decided to take a nap instead. Thankfully it came back on within 10 minutes of my arrival home, but there are still thousands of people without power in Maryland. After the adventure we had with Hurricane Isabel (and by adventure, I mean six days without power) losing electricity no longer seems like a neat thing. I have very little patience for it.
On a follow-up note to Halloween, I received an e-mail from Sandra today telling me about the sexy ketchup costume she saw this year. Yup, sexy ketchup. I couldn't find it online anywhere (and by anywhere I mean the first three Google pages). There were lots of ketchup costumes, most sold with the tagline "Now you can be everybody's favorite condiment." Dreams can come true on Halloween.
The best part of the costume Sandra saw was the relish purse that went with it. I'm not really even sure what that means.
I'm not sure what this weekend holds, which is sort of exciting. I'm going to a surprise dinner-birthday party tonight, and then bowling in Bethesda. For Saturday I forsee college football in my future, along with a trip to the mechanic to get my car inspected for registration in the state of Maryland. Wa.Hoo.
