Ok. Never mind my lame attempt at joke.

Well it's early, and I'm only on my 5th coffee, and I think this rain has caused brain rust.
I'll try harder next time.

That's what I need - another coffee. Or maybe something stronger. Rain, rain and more rain, a whining seven-year old and no power do not make for good spirits.

Goddess--ROFLOL (and it's a WET FLOOR). I thought it was hilarious. It's wasn't lame. Much to the dismay of my very wet cats (one is long hair) and soggy golden retriever, we have poodles running everywhere (that would be puddles for those of you not following.) Now we need to come up with a name for poodles running into rivers (maybe retrievers?)

Was raining hard about an hour ago in Santiago...now easing off. Not a very sunny vacation for me.

More on Noel

Dominican authorities said at least 600 people had been evacuated as the storm touched off landslides, flooded rivers and pushed storm surges onto Santo Domingo's seaside boulevard.

Chirimoya--where are you? I have three boys at home today--ages 9, 12 and 17. Of course there's no tv as well but we do have a fooseball table and lots of games.

Our 17 yr old instigated a read aloud in Spanish marathon at 7:30 AM which lasted until 10:30.

I don't expect our wifi to stay up much longer but then again, I'm surprised it's still up (thanks Arjan & Terry.)

A poodle in a puddle. Now let's work the word noodle in there somewhere.


Chiri, tell Lucas what I told Nadia: "Soon we'll run out of food and we'll start eating each other, starting for the soft and tender ones. So keep quiet, your whining makes me hungry."

[DrChrisHE]

Well I can give you a noodle in Spanish (sort of)...one time we were stuck with our old jepetta and my dh asked a motoconcho for SOPA to tow the vehicle! I was hysterical (he asked for SOUP--and I said "I sure hope you asked for chicken noodle so we could use the noodles to tow it." It's now a family joke. Poor dh... he's a great sport.

Heh!

DrChrisHE - we're in sunny Santo Domingo.

[DrChrisHE]

You're not serious...it's sunny? We might as well be in the middle of a hurricane the way the wind/lashing rain and flooding is going here. You didn't like my SOPA story?
