So here’s the deal. There’s a big tropical storm out in the Gulf of Mexico that’s headed our way. We’ll be getting plenty of rainfall throughout the day, and by tomorrow afternoon the tropical storm will have made landfall. It will definitely be hitting my area, as my city is located right in the smack middle of the projected pathway.

This storm is actually pretty big, so I’m sure it won’t miss us, even if it changes direction at the last moment. Although it’s not a hurricane yet, the water temperature in the Gulf of Mexico is perfect for giving it strength. Especially since there is no more land to slow it down.

I’m pretty sure gas prices will be skyrocketing today as well. Which means I’ll need to go fill up the tank in the truck before people start acting all crazy and swarm all of the gas stations. I’m sure the grocery stores are packed with people trying to buy every single can of non-perishable food on the shelves.

So, hopefully this storm doesn’t blow up into a hurricane, or cause too much damage. Keep me in your thoughts in case I’m not around for a few days. Hopefully it’ll be nothing more than rain with some heavy wind. *crosses fingers*

I’ve always been curious as to what websites other people enjoy. It’s a great way to discover new websites! So I thought I’d share with you a few of my personal favorites. These websites I’ve discovered through friends or just web surfing. I’m always at these websites at least once a day, sometimes all day!

ORGANIZERS. I can’t even remember how I discovered this community, but I have been addicted ever since I joined. It’s a community, obviously, for organizers. People who love to organize things, and have a planner that helps them stay organized. I love going through all of the entries, and seeing how beautiful some of these planners are. How some people are both organized and creative with their planners. I have always kept an organizer, ever since my freshman year of high school. I have kept every single one, and it’s interesting to go back and look through them every now and then. I love this community so much, because it incorporates my two passions: organizing and pens!

PLURK. Obviously I had to include Plurk on this list. It consumes most of my time these days, and I only realized how much I was addicted to it when it was down for maintenance yesterday. I actually got things done around the house! Most people join and are addicted to karma, which was my case at first. Now I love plurking because of the great people I’ve met (Heather, Teddy, Rilla, and even Adrian). I’ve gotten so used to micro-blogging that it’s kind of hard to revert back to regular blogging sometimes!

SNARK. I joined this forum almost a year ago, and have met some great people because of it as well. I had been looking for a forum like this for a long time; a forum where people weren’t all “elitist” and knew how to have fun. I get my daily lulz from the people at Snark!

FAILBLOG. Oh how I adore this site! Some of the photos (and videos) on there are so hilarious, like Dental Fail and the Epic Strip Tease Fail! Some of them are stupid, for sure, but all provide with some definite lulz. I had seen this website a while back, but forgot to bookmark it. Thanks to Teddy, I was able to find this website again! It’s what I’ve been doing for the better part of the day, despite the fact that I need to go bathe the dogs today!

SKREEMR. This is a new one that I discovered today, but I have already bookmarked it. It’s a place to download mp3s! I discovered Skreemr thanks to Tracy, who plurked about it. I’ve already downloaded several songs, even ones that I couldn’t find anywhere. I can finally download some of those jrock songs I’ve been wanting! I’m a girl that loves free music, so this website just rocks my socks.

So, there you have it. My favorite websites at the moment that I visit every day or just absolutely adore. Hopefully you can share some of yours with me! Send your favorite websites my way. Now, I guess I really should try and tear myself away from the computer. The dogs really do need a bath, no matter how much they complain.
