Snarky and T-TTC

Frankenstorm update

Well, mass hysteria has spread throughout the land. Not saying some of it isn't warranted, but I think meterologists, newscasters and politicians/mayors are in a damned if you do, damned if you don't predicament. 

So far we have seen very heavy, dark clouds since yesterday afternoon. The wind intermittently whips up into some pretty heavy gusts, but overall it's just a normal blustery day. A few scattered sprinkles, but mostly dry. 

As my husband didn't feel it necessary to stock up on water or extra food, I hit the grocery store on my way home. Let us keep in mind that I was hungry at the time. We shall now ride out the storm with an ample supply of Lipton Cup o' Noodle (extra noodle), Craft Mac & cheese (Deluxe and regular), brownie mix, Chocolate syrup, cocoa with extra mini marshmallows, molasses cookie mix, spice cake mix (which I intend on mixing with a can of pumpkin - shebang!), fig newtons and Lucky charms. 

I also got bread, eggs and milk so that we can eat our fill of french toast. And some water. 

So far I rate this storm Zero out of Four possible Horsemen. I'll continue to update, as I know you're all on the edge of your seats. 




*My apologies to anyone who has actually been traumatized by a hurricane before. Katrina and Andrew and others were clearly devastating.

Re: Frankenstorm update

  • I am in northern NJ.  It has been overcast all day but no rain yet.  However the wind is starting to pick up.  Sandy is a b@tch. I just don't want to lose power, that would be such a pain in the a$$.

  • Stay safe!! And eat up ; we were with out power for 8 days after Isaac earlier this year. It was a b!tch and we ended up having to toss the entire contents of our fridge and freezers. Annoying. Hope it turns out to be nothing.

  • So far things are okay here, very windy and rainy, but power is still on. I decided to make full use of our power and am doing laundry, dishes, and baking brownies. The worst part of the storm so far is that the dogs prefer not to potty when it's damp out. I swear, the next dog I get is going to be trained to pee in the bathtub.

  • We've been without power now since 3:30, so a little over two hours.  Sucks. F you Sandy!

  • Still no power.  We haven't had much rain at all, but these winds are insane!  Hope it dies down soon.

  • I hope everyone stays safe and those without power gets power back soon! I'm in NC and our coast got hit hard but we just had minimal wind damage. SO is a truck driver and his run is to PA so he is at home because it got canceled.

    TTC #2, Operative hysteroscopy March 2011; IVF #1 long lupron protocol April 2011-cancelled due to poor response; IVF #2 flare protocol May 2011=hospitalization due to abdominal hemorrhage during ER and no fert due to MFI issues. Moving onto international adoption from Moldova January 2013!
  • We have emerged relatively unscathed and are very thankful. Many trees are down, some siding and shingles ripped off. Mostly, things are just really messy around here.

    I think our worst problems right now are lack of power, which means fridge contents are shot. Most importantly it means no Internet or tv. It makes me twitchy to realize how dependent we are on our electronic devices.

    DH and I played a lively game of Monopoly tonight, in which my arse was beaten to a bloody pulp. Internet access on phones is intermittent, and requires charging in the car for a while. I see an early bedtime in our future.

    Glad to see everyone else seems to be safe. I have upgraded the storm status to three out of four possible horsemen. Very thankful that we're fortunate, thinking of all those not as fortunate as us, and all the PD/FD/Linemen/Emergency responders that are helping us to recover.

  • Glad to hear you are okay ETS!  We only had lots of downed branches as well, so that is good at least.  However we still don't have power.  It is starting to get cold in this house. I'm really starting to get anxiety cause I don't know what to do. My H is prob going back to work tomorrow if buses in NJ are running again. Can't go to my ILs (20 min away) cause they don't have power either. My parents live two hours away and don't have a place for DS to sleep ( only have one pnp). This sucks :(
