Last weekend we were expecting some nasty storms to hit North Texas because of Hurrican Rita, but luckily we were spared when it continued heading East. However, one came through last night, as the result of a massive cold front from the North, dropping the temp. by about 35 degrees. Yesterday was in the 100's, today in the 60's. We needed the rain and the lower temps. are welcome, however we now have 60,000 people without power this morning, myself included.

Of course the only thing that upset my roommate about all of this was the power went out right when the second episode of Lost was coming on last night. He was fuming about it all evening. *grin*

Okay, I've never been one to write, keep a diary or blog, but this blows me away so much that I had to get it down.

Today I received a call from my mother. We have never been very close, as I was raised by my grandmother and only spent a weekend here and there with my mom over the years. She called to tell me that my half-brother (my biological father's son), who I have never met, wants to meet me. Truthfully, I don't care either way, I've always known he existed, and is only a few months older than me, but I never really cared either way. What blew me away was that when he and our aunt (again, never met her) asked my mother if I had any children she not only told them that I didn't, but that I didn't want any and didn't want to have anything to do with "that" part of a man! Basically, she implied that I am either asexual or a lesbian!

How can she know me so little? Anyone who knows me knows how much I love men and am very sexual. I don't discuss that kind of thing with my mom because we are totally different, she will jump anything in pants, I am more cautious. But, still, how can she know me so little? I just can't get over this.
