Be Prepared

I just don't like scary surprises. Like sudden deaths. But sometimes surprises are good, like when somebody buys you something you've had your eye on and you forgot all about it, but they didn't.. (my mom just surprised me with something recently from the Hallmark Store.) As long as you don't get too surprised and your heart starts racing...I mean, no "good" surprise is worth your health, ya know? Like a surprise b-day party when you walk in the room and everyone jumps out and yells, "SURPRISE!!!" I think we can all do without those.

I remember my trip to Kansas. That last night there was a big storm rolling in. We got really lucky and only had a little rain, but we had loaded up the car the night before just in case. The roomie kept fretting about tornadoes, but we were watching the TV (about the only time we had the TV on BTW.) As it was it skirted Kinsley and we heard a lot of booms, but the worst of the storm was moving northeast of us.

You're right, not everything is easy to prepare for. Nature is one unpredictable thing. But you had a handle on dinner. Nice!!! We had some real good stuffed peppers for dinner.
