Sturm und Drang

Yes, so the past couple weekends Bruce and I have had the chance to relive our younger days and spend time with friends in the city, sans baby.  Thanks to the wonderful childcare services of my mother-in-law. 

And that has been great... except for the fact that my body knows it's not in its 20's anymore.  Yesterday I was in some pretty rough shape!  I'm sort of relieved that my calendar is fairly empty this month.

In the Midwest we are experiencing just awful weather.  Every day it's been near 100 degrees.  And when it's not, it's because terribly severe storms are pounding through.  Yesterday, when I was recuperating, the skies got pitch back around noon, the trees were blowing almost horizontal, and rain and hail pelted the ground.

Admittedly, I get nervous during storms.  Only because I read Night of the Twisters by Ivy Ruckman about a zillion times when I was a child - so I developed a tornado trepidation.  The storm combined with my after-party yuckiness made me all edgy.

This morning, I got an email from a good friend with this attachment:


I'm trying!  You can call me Twinkle Toes over here.  Unless there's cloud-to-ground lightning or the sky turns green.  Then let's break it down in the basement.
