Timing

We've been having a bit of a dry spell here...we've needed some rain. All last week they were saying that it would come this past weekend and have a little carryover into this week.

This weekend was GORGEOUS and they changed the rain chances for today to 40%.

Then this morning I get up and the news is having one of their special reports...all about the severe weather headed our way today. Not only have rain chances been upped to 100%, severe weather is expected.

People are calling into the TV station saying that the storms have ripped their roofs off. Doors have been ripped off their hinges. Hail, the size of baseballs, is crashing through windows. And it's headed my way.

Oh, did I forget to mention that today is the day that the appraiser was coming out to look at my house?

Yeah. I imagined our conversation going something like this:

Me: The decision to put a skylight in the bedroom was a rather sudden one. But I've always enjoyed looking at the stars at night.
Him: (just looks at me like I'm crazy)
Me: The waterfall in the living room is all natural. I'm an environmentalist, don't you know. I wouldn't dream of pumping water in for a manmade waterfall.
Him: (making notes but keeping an eye one me because he's not quite sure...)
Me: I felt so boxed in with walls and doors. I thought 'why not let the nature come to me'.
Him: (looks up from his notes...kinda has a scared look on his face)
Me: How do you like the self cleaning floor? Every time it rains, it cleans itself, whether it needs it or not! (gently grabbing his elbow) You'll want to be careful now, what with the floor being wet and all.

Who says I haven't upgraded anything? LOL

(By the way, we did get some thunderstorms (which Max didn't care for) but - to my knowledge - there wasn't anywhere near the damage they had to the west of us and the appraisal thing went fine...as far as I know. :~) )
