Hurricane Season
This is not an original post; I got it from a co-worker, also an Ike victim. This would be a lot funnier if it weren't so close to the truth. I'm allowed to post this, BTW, because I still don't have electricity at my house (that I'm not making with my generator) and if I can't laugh at something, I might just go out and rip down a tree all by myself!
Top Ten Reasons Hurricane Season Is Like Christmas
Number Ten:
Decorating the house (with wood products).
Number Nine:
Dragging out boxes that haven't been used since last season.
Number Eight:
Last minute shopping in crowded stores.
Number Seven:
Regular TV shows pre-empted for 'Specials'.
Number Six:
Family coming to stay with you.
Number Five:
Family and friends from out of state calling you.
Number Four:
Buying food you don't normally buy . . . and in large quantities.
Number Three:
Days off from work.
Number Two:
Candles and lanterns.
And the Number One reason Hurricane Season is like Christmas:
At some point you're probably going to have a tree in your house!

I clicked over from Bloogers Annex. Love your haiku so I thought I'd check you out. It is awesome how humor can help us through difficult times. This is a great post.

Makes me feel silly for my complaining about our flooded yard of last night!

Yikes, Jami. Funny... and not so. I'm sorry you're all still in a mess down there. Sure you don't want to come up to A2?
