So unless you are living in a cave in Afghanistan, you’ve probably heard that hurricane Irene is headed for the East Coast this weekend. I have to admit that I’m not really buying the hype, but I might be jinxing myself considering our house is built on a swamp…
We don’t have big plans this weekend, other than having some friends over tomorrow night. I’m kind of looking forward to an excuse to stay in and enjoy the rain and my family. Hopefully our friends will make it too, but if not, we’ll enjoy a quiet night just the three of us. George went out last night for batteries for the CD player, ice to keep the beer and milk cold, and some granola bars – so we’ll be in good shape either way!
George called on his way home from work tonight and suggested we meet him in Old Town Alexandria for dinner. As Charlie and I approached the restaurant, only about a block from the Alexandria harbor, a big truck full of sandbags pulled up in front of us and parked, and residents started showing up to collect their allotted 5 bags. It made me appreciate where we are – we may be on low ground, but at least we’re not right up against the Potomac like some of our neighbors.
In a little over a week, Charlie will start his second year at preschool. I think he’s ready to go back. He’s changed SO much over the summer, and I am excited to see how he handles a new year at school!
Here are some pictures of him from last week. In the first, he is modeling my new Michael Kors purse, which I picked from a list of “10 Years at FINRA” gifts. Who knew I could get a purse? So much cooler than a FINRA clock or knick-knack. It is hard for me to believe that September marks the 10th anniversary of my move to DC. How my life has changed in those 10 years!
