Yes, just east a county over not counting that thin piece of Tallapoosa county. I think it was ramping up even stronger when it passed underneath us because Montgomery County received a warning but people at work said nothing much happened there.

Those poor people in Lee County only had nine minutes to get to a safe place. Nine minutes was from the time the tornado warning went off to the time it arrived. It was a monster in strength and width. And for instance, if someone was napping with the tv on loud, well pretty sad. I have deep respect for tornadoes and the warning sirens which indicate one is on the ground nearby.

It definitely scared all my babies but it broke my heart to hear Big Kevie crying. I mean I really hugged up on him. I have often wondered if he has extra senses for tornadoes.

I never have to plead to get Kevin into our safe place. I have tons of pillows, comforters and a couple of large bolster pillows in there too. They are pretty hard. Kevin goes straight to the closet with Jennifer following his heels. I cover them well with pillows, then a bolster, more pillows and comforters on top I had drag Jeffrey in there in January. Eventually had to put him in the tub, get on top of him and cover us up as well. It will take Jeffrey a few more times I think to catch on.

Something sort of funny .. back in the 90s, I had five dogs. I declared one room of my home the safe room. I pulled a king size very heavy mattress in there and sort of had part of it propped on a wall. We had rehearsals. I would yell, "Fire Drill" then clap my hands and all of them would go jump in "the hole." I made it a fun activity for them so there would not ever be any hesitation.

I had one very large and very well nourished mixed breed, loved her dearly, who was just like Kevie ... she had frequent rotton boiled eggs gas attacks which were purely awful. This one time during a real deal, she had an industrial gas attack ... it was all I could do to hold on to the ropes I had tied to the mattress and make the other four stay in the safe hole. They were coughing and gagging. LOL! Heck, I was too but nobody got to leave until it was safe. I will never forget the memory.

Don't really want to follow that image with a list of food that I ate, but okay:

- a chicken and cheese quesadilla
- a Mountain Dew to drink (which makes me gassy, too, but they're so delicious sometimes I can't resist if I know I'm going to be alone for awhile)
- green grapes
- a little triangle of brie

Sharing is caring...
 

- grilled chicken with roja sauce
- black bean, corn and poblano chile salad
- steamed rice
- a good healthy squeeze of lime over everything above
- a lemon bar

A home cooked burger (shared with Pete, of course)
Cottage cheese and pineapple
and some fruit punch....(er... adult fruit punch..if ya know what I mean)

Egg and pepper sandwich
orange
some mild cheddar cheese wedges
and yep... lookin at that grey goose too...

I mean... it IS spring break! woot woot!

Vegetable samosas, naan, and saag paneer. Indian food with one of my closest friends.

Tri tip roast in the crockpot
Steamed apricot rice
Broccoli

- caprese salad
- penne with marinara sauce

It is a recipe my friend found in an old magazine...it was okay.

Apricot preserves
Sour cream
Sea salt
White rice

went out with friends..i had grilled shrimp w/ a chermoula sauce, spiced cauliflower w a tzatziki sauce, and rice pilaf with toasted pinenuts..great greek wine..amazing...

The other day we had dinner for the first time from Pei Wei (P.F.Changs fast food), and it was pretty good!

Instead of steamed rice ( which is horrible for a diabetic), I had riced cauliflower as the base of my dinner bowl. I would probably have it again, but in a bowl with other types of veggies it was a bit watery. So if you can get past that, it almost fools you into believing you were not deprived of that fluffy white goodness.

LOL

It's officially the Salad Season, now. *LOL*

I'm feasting on a gigantic Super-greens salad, complete with other vegan elements, like … mushrooms, zucchini, cauliflower, berries, carrots, and such. My salad dressing will be a slight drizzle of balsamic dressing or a mandarin orange type dressing. Topped off with sesame seed tahini cracker type salad toppers.


Dessert will most likely either be peanut butter stuffed celery sticks or a small bowl of cantaloupe or watermelon or cubed mango fruit.
