A cup of Coffee, Cookies and Invader Zim ...Life is Good.

Which is a far cry from 4 AM this morning, when I wake to the sound of hail and the theme from Firefly going through my head. ( Curse you Amanda! )

(In a foggy state of mind)... Amanda...Amanda Hhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmm Amanda Bo Bamanda... Rain... Hail .... Hmmmmmmm I wonder if the Soccer game is Cancel..... Hhmmmmmmm....zzzzzzzz.... Rain/Amanda/Firefly........ Kaylee.... I Like Kaylee.... Rain .... What does the Rain have to do with Amanda?


AMANDA'S GIFT IS IN THE RAIN !

(Time Jump to 5PM Friday)

After looking at Amanda's wishlist, finding what I need, wraping and dropping off her gift at her house, I'm a happy camper. The current storms are kicking the crap out of CR and are far north of here, no danger there. (Of course, I didn't reallize she may be out of town until later that night.) No Worry ..No Rain

(Time Jump to 4:05 AM Saturday)

Amanda's gift is difting down the street, floating in the floodwater going down toward the sewer. CRAP! I should have just gotten her a cheeseburger.

(Time Jump to 9:30 AM Saturday)
Found Amanda's waterlogged gift in the Iowa river. Not Really, but the gift bag is full of water. (Amanda: Ingore the tire ruts in your lawn, the dents in your housemate's car, and that squirrel was dead long before I backed over it.)

(Time Jump to 6:33 PM Saturday..NOW)
I've replaced Amanda's Gift. Hopefully she will get it on Monday.
