Hurricane Irene tore up the east coast this weekend. Luckily, she spared us any damage. We actually had a pretty nice weekend. Yesterday, I made a lasagna. We spent most of our time hunkered down inside watching last season's Top Chef Just Desserts. I had DVRed them and we have been enjoying them, but they are making me hungry. We never lost power or cable. A tree in a small park near our house fell over and a city crew with chainsaws came early this morning to clean it up.
I talked with my mom this morning and she also came through the storm without much problem. My siblings didn't have as much luck. Both my brother and my sister live in Maryland, near the Pennsylvania border, and they both lost power. What's worst, my sister's septic system backed up in her basement. She has not had a fun weekend.
