So far, we’ve had an earthquake that shook everybody all along the coast. This was something different for us; two days later as my sister and I lay sleeping in my room, we heard a loud rumble that sounded almost like drawn out thunder. I lay very still, in my half sleepened stupor until glass rattled and my jewelery stand began to shake.

“Britt!” My sister reached out in the darkness and grabbed my hand.

I held her hand tight until the rumble died and the earth was still once more. I jumped out of bed and flipped the light on. “Hurry Laney, help me get the stuff off my mantle.” I said, fearing another shake would send everything crashing down around us. After that, we settled down and fell asleep an hour or so later. I think everytime I hear thunder from here on out, I’ll think for a split second we’re getting another earthquake. * winks *

And to make our week twice as exciting: Hurricane Irene.

So it’s been raining like c-r-a-z-y all day long, and this makes the girl want some cute Rainboots very badly. Like so badly, she went into Tractor Supply this morning and tried on some black polka dotted boots that she fell in love with. It’s a good thing God never made me a millionaire, because surely I wouldn’t be one for very long. * smiles *

See, I would have such cuteness sitting in my closet right now if I knew there would be an abundance of Rain after obtaining polka-dotted rubber boots. But such is the case:

 If the girl bought rainboots, it simply wouldn’t rain after that. Bummer.

Maybe I shall just buckle down | throw caution to the wind and stick a little rainy day cuteness into my closet some day soon.
