So, apparently, the skies are dropping massive amounts of rain in a nice little pattern across the country. They started with those horrible floods in the Nashville area, then moved to Arkansas, and today, they reached the OKC metro. The last number I heard was that the average amount of rainfall in the metro was 9.58 inches. It started raining around midnight and rained extremely hard pretty much all morning. It took forever to get to the office, and I made it just in time. Here are a couple of pictures that I took outside my office.

Right after I took this one, I had to move my car up to a higher area of the parking lot. We watched through the window as the water got closer and closer.

This was taken from the window in my office. Under all of that water is a road, a grassy curb, and a small parking lot. An old woman was driving this car, and she tried to avoid the water by driving in the grass, but got stuck.

Here are a few more flood pictures from www.newsok.com.

This is about a mile from my apartment.

I was supposed to drive this highway today to go meet with a client.

Really glad I cancelled my meeting.

Another round of rain has just started falling, and it is supposed to rain for awhile tonight. We are hoping and praying that there is no more flooding tonight.

A sweet four-year-old boy picked this flower for me this evening! Just adorable! My camera was being uncooperative, so I didn’t get a good picture. It’s still cute though!

I hope you all had a great weekend!

It’s definitely spring in Oklahoma! Unfortunately, I live in the area known as Tornado Alley. Every March-September, whenever there is a storm predicted, we all know to be prepared for severe weather. So far this season, there has been very little severe weather. That all changed last night when these lovely little things passed through.

I’m hoping that most of you have heard about the devastating flooding in Nashville. From the pictures I’ve seen, it is looking scarily like Hurricane Katrina pictures. For some reason, this is not getting much national coverage! This is unacceptable!

Beth has done a fantastic job keeping her followers updated on what is happening, but now, the rest of the country needs to know what is going on! We need to use what we have to spread the word, whether that be blogging, facebook, twitter, or anything else.

The American Red Cross has been taking donations to help flood vicitms. You can text ‘REDCROSS’ to 90999 to donate $10 toward flood relief. You can also go to their website for other ways to help.

Head over to Beth’s blog for more information on this horrible disaster situation.

I gave my blog a makeover today! After several hours of copying, pasting, and rearranging, I finally came up with something that I think I’m going to like! Let me know what you think! Hope you’re all having a great weekend!

This weekend was super, super busy! Friday evening, I went out to dinner with my brother. We had good food, and it was awesome to get to hang out and catch up!

Saturday afternoon, Teddie and I went to a Mary Kay party hosted by our friend Lacey. We hadn’t seen her in about two years, so we had such a great time playing with make-up and having girl talk. We intended to take pictures before we left, but totally forgot! :(

Sunday evening was Senior Night at church. Brandon, my “adoptive brother”, is graduating this year, and he got to participate in the senior night activities.

Leading a prayer

  The LTC seniors signing the four parts of “The Greatest Commands”. I almost cried when they did it at LTC convention, and I almost cried again last night!

B and Cameo signing

I also got to wear my adorable new shoes last night! Love them! :)

Now that you’ve all got that song stuck in your head, I have to tell you about what I witnessed today. On my way home for lunch, I stopped by Subway. I watched the most awkward and hilarious exchange between a Subway worker and a customer.

There were three people behind the counter, two people ahead of me, at least two people behind this particular customer, and 8-10 people sitting down eating, so quite a few people witnessed this incident.

We’ll call these two people Subway Guy and Crazy Woman. Subway Guy was probably college age. Crazy Woman was early 60s. Crazy Woman came in to order a sandwich for someone else, and had the order written on a piece of paper. The conversation went like this.

Subway Guy: “What can I get for you?”

Crazy Woman: “I’d like a five dollar footlong on Italian herb and cheese bread.”

Subway Guy gets the bread, cuts it, and waits for Crazy Woman to tell what she wants on it. Crazy Woman stares at Subway Guy.

Subway Guy: “What would you like on your sandwich?”

Crazy Woman: “I said I want a five dollar footlong.”

SG: “Which one do you want?”

CW (looking at him like he’s dumb): “What’s the difference?”

SG (trying not to laugh): “We have eight different kinds.”

CW: “Oh.”

She looked at the sign that had the different $5 footlongs for awhile.

CW: “I guess she wanted the spicy Italian one.”

SG: “Ok.”

He starts making the sandwich.

CW: “Well, she said she wanted tuna.”

SG stops.

SG: “So, you want a five dollar footlong tuna sandwich.”

CW: “Yeah, I guess that’s it.”

As he finished the sandwich, she continued to shake her head and look disgusted at him, like it was his fault that she had no idea what she was doing. I felt bad for the guy, but he seemed to think it was pretty funny. After that exchange, the next girl in line ordered a “meatball marina” sandwich! I think I need to go to Subway more often! :)

I was so sad to hear the news that Dixie Carter passed away over the weekend. I have always been a huge fan of Designing Women, and I watched it every day on Lifetime in college as I got ready for class. I loved Dixie’s character, Julia Sugarbaker.

One of my favorite things about the character Julia was how she would always speak her mind and tell someone exactly what she thought about them. My favorite Julia moment was her "night the lights went out in Georgia" speech.

It is always sad when a show like that ends, but I was very excited when Dixie showed up on Wisteria Lane, playing Orson’s mother for several episodes of Desperate Housewives. I just read that she got an Emmy nomination for that role!

She was a great actress, and she will definitely be missed!

Today, while reading one of the blogs I follow, I found this video. It is a Mean Girls trailer using clips from Disney movies. Love it!
