Sunday, April 26, 2009

So, Mike Morgan, Gary England and all the other Oklahoma weather guys agree....

It could be an interesting night.

Just go ahead and forget about watching Celebrity Apprentice, Desperate Housewives, Extreme Home Makeover: Home Edition, The Amazing Race or whatever it is you watch.

But I have to admit, I don't really care about the television programming. I'm nervous about having to take shelter.

My husband and folks-in-law have already got out a gag, rope, and handcuffs, swearing they're going to make me go in the cellar if necessary.

This photo was taken by my lovely husband, shortly after the argument we had in the yard about the whole thing.



(PS - Doesn't my hair look lovely? It's the pre-tornado wind... Oh, and I'm looking a little pasty too... And pregnant. Who let him take a picture of me anyway? And why did I think it was a good idea to put it on my blog?)

Who honestly thinks a claustrophobic, 39 week pregnant woman - who can hardly breathe as it is - should be forced into a cellar with a 2 year old, 3 grown adults and a border collie?



I'm not going to do it.

I'll take my chances with the tornado.

It's going to have to be an F5 (that's tornado speak for BIG) to move my huge, gigantic, pregnant body anyway.

Helen Hunt wasn't scared of any tornado in the awesomely accurate and completely realistic depiction of Oklahoma weather in the 1996 film "Twister".


I'm also reminded of a rather hilarious SNL skit from years ago where Tim Meadows was a smack talkin' weatherman. In the skit he says something like "if a tornado comes after me, I just look up at it and say 'b#@&$, make me a sandwich!'". (I looked everywhere for it...couldn't be found. Does anyone else remember it?)

And well, I'm not scared either....




Maybe I am a little scared.

But just a little.

OK.

I'll go.

But only if this is across the pasture from me.



And, can I get a bottle of wine please?
