Who is that handsome orange monster?

I went to WW last night and was down 4.2 lbs. I worked my patootie off this past week with a goal of being down 3.2 so that I would make my 10% goal in 10 weeks. I couldn't believe I overshot! How awesome is that?! I'm officially down 26 pounds and past my 10% goal. As a small reward to myself I bought a refrigerator magnet of the WW hungry monster. I think he's adorable. If my hunger was that cute it might not be a problem!

As excited as I was about my goal being reached (and the cute orange monster in my purse), the real excitement didn't start until the meeting was about to end. Right as we were about to dismiss the lady from the front came in and told us not to leave because a tornado had been seen touching down on a freeway nearby. Sure enough the sky was greenish-gray and the rain was pouring down. I waited a little bit, but then decided that I was driving away from where the storms where heading so I braved the storm. It was hairy to drive in, but sure enough, as I got closer to the house, the weather improved.

This morning I almost couldn't make it to the school because the rain had come down all night and the streets were flooded around my campus. I don't know why the schools near my house were closed and I had no standing water near me and my school was open and all the nearby neighborhoods were flooded. Goofy.
