weather events!

The weather drama continues. Last night, after watching an hour or so of the coverage, I decided to do an exercise tape. About ten minutes into it, I glanced out the window and saw that everything was bathed in this creepy green light. I quickly gave up on the tape, since I wasn't paying attention, and turned the coverage back on in time to hear the head meteorologist say, "If you live in Memphis, you ought to look outside right now, because it looks...freaky out there." I started taking pictures through the windows. They don't do the weirdness justice, but it ought to give you an idea... ( goin' green )

So I sat by the window, transfixed, for about an hour. I have needed a Weather Event to get excited about, so this pleased me. :)

Me (thinking): Wow, those clouds look a lot like mammatus clouds.
TV Meteorologist: You know, the clouds almost look like mammatus clouds!
Me: Hee hee. Still got it.

On a completely different note, I'm starting to feel like I have no control over my own life. I don't mean in a deep theological sense. I mean in the sense that a co-worker asked me to house-sit for her in a few weeks, and I told her I'd have to ask Kathy and my mom to make sure I wasn't busy. :P I am supposed to be at something almost every day this month. I also have to buy presents for approximately 1383 people, and finish the scrapbook which is quickly becoming a boulder hanging over my head. Usually, I like being busy and I like giving presents. But right now it's all just stress. I have a band practice tomorrow night, and instead of being a happy thing, it's just one more thing I have to do. This time of year is a killer. At least my finals days are over.
