So much for that. We have like six pieces of bark in the yard. That was the total extent of the destruction.
We’re going off to Atlantic Beach to see if there are any big waves. If there are, I will return with photos.
UPDATE: So we went off to Atlantic Beach and found pounding 6-inch surf. Like being at the shore of a small pond.

It’s kind of hard to see, but where the red arrows are is the surf breaking out where the ocean is. Photo taken from Radio Island at around 5 p.m. They’re rolling in pretty large, according to Channel 14—10 to 15 feet.

Forecasters predicted that Earl would swing to the north (rather than northwest, for a more direct hit on NC) and so far it has. It’s a nasty hurricane, and the farther away from us it goes, the better. We have stocked up on all the stuff we think we’ll need for the next few days without power (yuck), and I’ve told Woob we’re having a camp-out in the living room tonight, which she should enjoy.

Well, it’s been years since we’ve had any hurricanes to speak of here, but I think our luck may have run out. They’re saying Earl (pictured above yesterday, August 31—he’s made a lot of progress since then) will be making his presence felt in our lives sometime tomorrow afternoon, and will be at his worst late at night.
I hate that it’s going to hurricane in the middle of the night. I don’t like not being able to see what’s going on. I forecast absolutely zero sleep.
I will keep you posted.

The job search continues, but it’s tough going out here. There just aren’t any jobs in my field right now … but one.
I have applied for a graphics position at a company right here in Beaufort that sounds too good to be true. My strong resume, portfolio & professional background have actually NOT been as much of an asset as I thought they would be. I am overqualified for just about everything.
I want this one. Let’s hope it works out.

I changed the look of my blog. Please let me know what you think. (I am having a hard time letting go of the past.)
UPDATE: I changed it back—I was having too many problems with formatting.

Ruby made this picture of her and her mommy and cut it out herself. I want to make a pillow out of it, it’s so cute! What a talented little Woob!

I recently reacquainted myself with an old shopping friend: Etsy. I had forgotten how much fun it is. There are some really creative people out there making stuff and selling it. Some of it is crap (thought about putting a link to some crap here, but it seems wrong somehow). A lot of it is cute and affordable. Some of it is exquisite, even if not quite to your taste.
Check out this edgy steampunk ring; some amazing handbeaded jewelry (BONUS: artisan includes a photograph of the piece of art or slice of nature that inspired the piece—check it out); this adorable owl necklace that I didn’t buy fast enough …
So far, I’ve bought a rosary bracelet and a baby octopus necklace! Check out my favorites!
