light rain shower = cars driving 15 mph
snow storm midday = 8,927 workers simultaneously getting in their cars causing statewide gridlock
prediction of hurricane = citizens flocking to any and all stores to buy them out of batteries, duct tape and water.
weather makes me crazy.
but not for the same reasons. i apparently was not born with the "oh, no. we might die in this natural disaster, therefore i should prepare." gene. so when pesky things like hurricanes are predicted i sit in my bubble enjoying my day to day per usual.
then i realize...
"oh, crap. we ran out of bananas, oranges and wine. and i am making dinner for six people tonight, so i need to pick up the ingredients."
which is what just happened.
i've weighed out my options but since i am a culinary snob as a hostess, i have no choice. i must go to the nearest supermarket and hip check my way through the aisles, while my daughter screams with delight believing she is on some kind of raucous rollercart ride.
i will now run practice drills to prepare for the madness that i am about to partake in.
