Sea Waves in the Clouds?

Since Mr. Man is not working on the comp, I get free use of my laptop, or at least enough tonight to do a post on my two main blogs. L-Infinity has her own comp needs for her AC DEC team, so there's that. As long as Google Chrome or Firefox can behave themselves, we can do a lot while we have the computer. After that, I don't know until it's truly fixed. My laptop is Mr. Man's back-up and go to unit when he's diagnosing the other.

But moving on... *relishing blogging freedom*

I guess the clouds decided to mimic my feelings towards Mr. Man's "back to work" departure this afternoon. By the time he left our complex, we heard that distant rumble that signals the coming rain. I needed to drop off some toys for my friend Heather who has a daycare and decided to bring along the kiddos and the camera!

What surprised me the most is how the clouds seem to mimic a tempetuous sea. (yes, I was feeling bummed)

Can you see the waves crashing and mad at the wind for brewing a storm ahead?
This one reminds me of a pending hurricane ready to pounce at any unsuspecting shoreline.
There's more of that "wave" like clouds. Must be quite gusty up there!
Is that a flying fish between waves? *imagine*
How about a dolphin and her calf escaping the tempest brewing below?
Here are some clouds looking like the wind rejected its reach so it got blown backwards.
The birds were even restless to see such commotion.
But inside, we were comfy, dry and happy to witness I-Dude's unbelievable creativity with Legos.
The rains hit an hour after and for only a few minutes. L-Infinity got to upload some pictures on Facebook despite the light show outside while J-Pony and her friend Alexis, enjoyed their time in Activity Days and even came back, still dry, with some soft oatmeal choc chip cookies!

A Little Walking & Cool Clouds!

Since it's also the Philippines' Independence Day (Spanish American War 1898), we decided to make some pansit. But first, we had to get cabbage... Easy enough right? WRONG!

We have no car; Mr. Man drove it to the airport, and our neighbors weren't available, so we walked to the store.

First, I decided to treat the kids to Sonic. Big mistake! It was over a mile away! By the time we got there, to take advantage of the "Happy Hour" 1/2 priced slushes and drinks, we were so tired, we didn't even enjoy it! I for one, kept getting brain freezes. The kids just kept playing with their slushes and we eventually had to combine the two and of course, throw it away though it was still over halfway full! Even bribing them with tots didn't work. (Cost; $3.28)

Now I know not to go there on foot anymore! Our poor bodies... Then we hit Albertson's for some cabbage and found a great deal on raspberries, but the sharp packaging sliced through the bag and one dropped!

(On the way back, I-Dude found this concrete elephant and

he just had to "ride on" him and even stand up!)

I had to go back and grab another one! Man! Good thing, the CS at Alb's was so nice, that she even got me a bag for my raspberries. As for the pansit, it'll have to wait til' tomorrow... My arms and legs are killing me! (serves me right... LOL)

J-Pony thought that it was rather "yellow" out in the patio, so we went out and investigated. These are what greeted us outside!

Some bright orange thick cloud formation over our complex! After a few minutes and to our right...

Peach clouds over blue-gray across the carports, and ...

Pink clouds at our front door! This all happened within 5 minutes! Isn't it amazing?!

I so love where we live!!! Never a dull moment in our little clearing!
