We made it! That’s right, we are survivors of Hurricane Irene 2011. While we came out without a bruise, our kitchen ceiling didn’t fair so well. We currently have 5 leaks in the ceiling along with all the windows in the living room. Because of this, we each took 2-hour shifts to stay awake and manage the leaks throughout the night. But we know what you are really thinking…what do you do to prepare for a hurricane and what do you do while you are waiting? Here are our suggestions:
1.) Buy wine, nonperishable food, and water (in that order)
2.) Keep everything plugged in out of fear that the power will go out any minute
3.) Drink wine
4.) Surf every major website
5.) Have everyone shower in case you lose water, then fill the tub!
6.) Watch the weather channel for 5 hours
7.) Drink Beer
8.) Follow HurricaneIrene on twitter
9.) Skype any friends or family member that is home on a Saturday night
10.) Make up Hurricane Haiku’s
11.) Nap
12.) Cook a deliciously huge meal of everything you can find in the fridge (Stef)
13.) Play the game of Things
14.) Drink Liquor
15.) Make curtains for the living room (Karli)
16.) Iron the curtains (Stef)
17.) Drink wine
18.) Look for a job on craiglist (Lys)
19.) Facebook stalk …well everyone
20.) Document everything you are doing with pictures (and photobooth) while drinking wine
21.) Re-enact risky business on the wood floors (Lys)
22.) Eat more
23.) Have a dance party
24.) Drink Wine
25.) Watch 27 dresses
26.) Complain about how bored you are
27.) Eat more, drink more
28.) Start The Time Traveler’s Wife, but stop because you have to move all the furniture around so nothing gets wet and clear out every trash can, tub, and food container to catch the water
29.) And last but not least, drink wine.
Note: Most of us were actually not awake for the “direct hit” of the hurricane, but the wind and rain were going strong most of the time! Also, more pics will be posted on fb!
