10 Ways to Prepare for the Hurry-cane, East Texus Style

1. Buy supplies:
-- fresh package of uncooked flour tortillas*
-- butter
-- lard
-- corn tortillas
-- cheddar cheese
-- dried chili peppers
-- cumin seed
-- pinto beans
-- pinto bean seasoning
-- stew meat
-- tomato paste
-- propane for the portable grill so we can still have a fiesta after the power goes out
-- 12 pack of super-gi-normous rolls of toilet paper
-- milk
-- poptarts
*This is serious business. We have started cooking our own flour tortillas and if we run out in the midst of a feeding frenzy, we're going to have mayhem and probably some attempted murder.
(Purchased.)

2. Make sure box of cheap white wine has plenty remaining in it.
(Yes, it does.)

3. Mow the yard.
(Done.)

4. Secure all the trash next to the neighbor's fence, so when the 65 mph winds blow, it will go into their yard.
(Done.)

5. Charge the porteeball DVD player to entertain the kids when the power goes out.
(Can't find the cord.)

6. Steam clean the rugs.
(Huh?)

7. Remove old couch from front porch.
(But where will I sleep?)

8. Put flotation device on diablo dog so he can float to higher ground.
(Still considering whether floating or sinking is my preferred option.)

9. Buy one huge hairy spider.
(Done.)

10. Make sure spider purchased in #7 is new security object for your 2 year old.
(Done.)
