A is for Alex

And so it begins: our first named storm of the 2010 season. As I type, Tropical Depression Alex is doing his thing out in the Gulf. Apparently he weakened over Belize but is forecasted to pick-up strength once he hovers over the warm GoM waters. Though the storm is currently trending towards Mexico, forecasters aren't ruling-out a soggy July 4th weekend along the Texas coast.An obvious sigh of relief: The storm shouldn't mess with current efforts to contain the spewing oil.

In "honor" of Alex (not really, but it's how I'm justifying it), I snagged some new rain boots yesterday at Charming Charlie. Mine resemble the photo, but they're pink and not so "dotty." Perfect for puddle stomping. So BRING IT, Alex, Bonnie, Colin, Danielle, Earl ....

Here's to a relatively non-destructive hurricane season.

  2. Maybe Alex will just bring some really good rain to all the friendly plants in Texas.

    And why do I love the name Virginie? Hurricane Virginie ... may she never see the day.
