Past Week Recap- Whew!!

What a week and weekend it's been.

First we had the earthquake; I didn't feel anything as I was taking my leisurely lunch time walk, but my colleagues and NY1 assure me it did indeed happen.

Then, it was bye-bye to my mum. Her visits always just speed by.  I already miss coming home to her piping hot fresh meals, guess its back to microwaved leftovers.

And last but not least, Hurricane Tropical Storm Irene had the hubby and I indoors for most of the weekend. Thank goodness it wasn't as bad as predicted. We did a quick survey around our neighborhood Sunday evening and for the most part everything looked fine. Not everyone was so fortunate. There were a few fallen trees and I noticed two that had landed on people's cars. Some friends posted pics of flooding in their neighborhoods and I really hope everyone made it out alright.

Message for Irene: using humor in a tough situation

With all that hopefully behind us now, I am looking forward to the last weeks of summer. There's still so much I have to do before it's all over.

How was your weekend and were you affected by the Storm?
