Hurricane
Last night I sat in Holly's living room wearing my dry clothes, in her dry home, with my healthy, dry 7 week old baby, and her two dry cats, and I watched on TV as hoards of people floated down the streets of Louisiana and Mississippi on thier front doors. Some of those people were carrying thier pets. Some of those people were desperately crying for help on the roof of thier homes. Ariel views of the cities looked like little Monopoly houses sunk in the bathtub. Family cars were completely submerged under the brown water and looked more like toy cars left in a rain puddle then a family vehicle. I got all sad. I got all sad and screamed to Holly that she's now allowed to move anywhere that could kill her and my baby via storm. On my way to work this morning I really felt like I needed do something. I decided to donate money to the Redcross. I've never done that before, and I don't have much, but I had to do something!Today I donated $50 bucks, in memory of Tom, to the Red Cross. You should donate too even if just $5.00.
This has been your public service announcement for the day.

Thanks for donating. I grew up in the Biloxi area and am just sickened by this whole thing.
I have friends that still live there, including one of my best friends and my goddaughter. Luckily, their house is fine and so are they, but another friend and her husband lost everything. Plus, they have a 3 and a half month old son to care for. It's just crazy.
So anyway, thanks. People appreciate it more than you know.
I have been thinking about donating some money, too.
I think Eric and I might donate some money to his brothers church also. They are going down there for a resue mission. He said the $$ goes right to the cause - no overhead.
