Buckling Down

Irene is coming. Are we prepared? Nope. Am I scared? Yep. I had about 6 different dreams last night, all involving dire consequences of the storm... flooding... month long power outages... my house being looted and someone stealing all my books... my kids screaming in terror as our windows shattered.

So this morning I went and did what every sensible person on the East Coast is doing: I bought batteries.

I bought Ds, and AAAs and AAs. And I bought a pack of mini LED flashlights for my kids.

And it all cost me $55. For batteries.

But at least now I'm prepared, right? 


What are you doing to prepare for Irene?
