Ugh, I am so bad at this!

It is more than obvious that I cannot manage to update my blog regularly. Maybe I need to write a reminder on my hand in permanent ink! Ah well, anyway, let's see if I can at least get caught up.
The past few weeks brought with them back-to-back hurricane evacuations. The first one was a near miss for my neck of the woods, and the second one still has people around here reeling. Hurricane Ike effectively knocked the hell out of everyone from Galveston Island to the Texas-Louisiana border... the whole border. We traveled north to Longview, TX, to stay with in-laws, and Ike followed us right up there. The wind was strong enough to knock the power out up there, but we managed to dodge the tornadoes and flooding. We came home the day after Ike made landfall, to a landscape not unlike the one we found after Rita in 2005. We were very fortunate this time around, only losing a few shingles and our fence now leans north. We were without power for a week; during which, we had to throw out all of the groceries that were in the refrigerator and chest freezer.
Today was the first day of Autumn; aka Autumn Equinox or Mabon (in the northern hemisphere anyway). This is my favorite time of year. I was in a fantastic mood all day, despite having a horrid cold. I went ahead and got out the Halloween/Autumn decorations and began decorating the house. I have decided to start a few projects. I am hoping to begin a BOS that I will scrapbook, and I am working my way through a Goddess "doll" for my bed. It's on hold for a bit though, because I am going to bed soon. I suddenly got a horrid headache and very, VERY nauseated. :(
I will try my best to check back in tomorrow! (let's not hold our breath, huh?)
