Well, the mercury in the thermometer reached into the 90s today. And thanks to the great Capital of the country being built on a swamp....the humidity made this day even that much more enjoyable. To add to it, there is another small wave of storms a movin' in tonight. Luckily for us, the storms aren't supposed to be nearly as ferocious as yesterdays.
Two tornadoes touched down somewhat near us. We are in Loudoun county and one of the tornadoes touched down in Fairfax county, which is the county we used to live in (just south of us). But let me tell you, Mother Nature dealt us quite the thunderstorm anyways. The trees whipped back and forth as if they would easily snap in half. The rain was coming in so hard and fast banging against our windows. Once the Tornado warning came up for our area, we retreated into the bedroom, away from the many windows in the living room. Everything turned out okay though.
Hopefully the strong storms have subsided for awhile. We are looking forward to our weekend. Tomorrow we are planning on going to the Celebrate Fairfax festival. It is supposed to be another hot day in the low 90s but that's nothing compared to our Race for the Cure day on Saturday. I received an email from the Race headquarters warning the participants on the heat advisory on Saturday. It is supposed to be mid to upper 90s. Yippee. Luckily the race is early and we probably won't be hanging around much afterwards.
That's about all the news for now. Just wanted to let everyone know that we are well and happy and hot. :)

Glad all is well with the wacky weather--but it sure sounds like The Swamp is going to be pretty unbearable this weekend! Good luck in the Race for the Cure!
Love,

Supposed to be up in the 90s here, too. It's pretty warm already...but eeveryone is complaining a little too much so far, I think. I'm fairly comfortable and everyone at the office is freaking out and didn't even want to play cornhole at lunch because of the heat (it's only like 85 degrees right now)! Whatever. lol
Anyway, make sure you hydrate before the race!!!! It may be earlier in the day, but it'll still be warm out! Good luck! You need to get someone else to donate. You're only $15 away from your goal!
Oops, I lied...you need $35. But still!! That's pretty close!

I was wondering where you got $15....lol.
