Surprise, Surprise!

Are we all that surprised that the first day we have heavy winds, we have fires too! I'm not. Scary, yes; sad, very..... but shocking, not really. We actually got evacuated early this morning. It happened once before, but I wasn't home at the time. We, fortunately, had a place to go, and we brought a couple of our neighbors with us (hurray for the mo mo's). Did I know what to grab out of the house? No, not really... I grabbed all my bling! how shallow am I? I also wanted to bring the hot shoes I had just bought and the pants to go with them, but if it came down to it I wouldn't be very comfy in heels, so I opted for my black flojo's. I got the cat too (and yes she does exist), just in case you were wondering. I am pretty sure we will be back in the house later today. We were watching on the news, and there were people still in their houses with the fire right up close. I am honestly not sure why we got evacuated, but we left... I guess it is the price you pay for living in California....

If you see something, say something

On a recent trip to New York, I was introduced to Subtalk, the New York subways way of hinting things to you while on the subway, like giving up your seat for older people and pregnant ladies, and buying tickets as apposed to sneeking on.... Well one of the favorites is, "if you see something say something"... which actually fits nicely into the purpose of many blogs including this one......
