WELCOME TO MY BLAHG! :D

I, Sharondarella, have been inspired to form my own blog after being temporary blogger host for Fice to the Mook PeeKay over at PhlemBlogger. I sound sooooo cool, saying that, don't I? Ha!

This background is called "Sand Dollar" ... how could I not choose it? Me, a dreamer of OBX dunes? It was en easy choice, since my other options included names like "Herbert" "Example II" "Split Pea" and "Bluebird" (that was my 2nd choice ... maybe if I get tired of looking at Sand Dollar I'll switch.)

OBX is getting battered by Hurricane Isabel right now and I'm sitting in my house swilling a Coke and enjoying the signs of electricity evident everywhere ... we'll see if that's still the case tomorrow. We lost power today for absolutely no reason ... unless it was VEPCO giving us a pre-hurricane dry run? Humph.


On the news they are reporting that people in Alexandria were furious because the city didn't hand out enough free Sandbags. Um, if you were really interested in protecting your property then you should have hauled your butt to the store and bought them. Heck, you should have them stored in your YARD if you live in the flood areas of Alexandria. It floods all the time there, something you'd think the residents expect and are prepared to deal with ... evidently not.

I think they should call Feature Preacher Pat Robertson and see if he can do anything to help them out (perhaps a tidy donation to the 700 Club could help?) since he was so vocal yesterday, defending his home turf in VA Beach, according to this snippet from Yahoo:

Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson prayed on his Christian Broadcasting Network, based in Virginia Beach, that Isabel would turn from the coast. He asked God to put a "wall of protection" around Virginia Beach and the East Coast.

"In the name of Jesus, we reach out our hand in faith and we command that storm to cease its forward motion to the north and to turn and to go out into the sea," Robertson prayed on "The 700 Club."

Heh-heh-heh!
