lunch: two ounces of whole wheat spaghetti with a sauce made of: one half cup of black beans, one cup light plain silk, a half an avocado, and two tablespoons reduced fat sour cream

dinner: veggie fajitas! (green peppers, portabellos, onions, and tomatoes), a few tortilla chips, mexican rice, and refried beans

I live in Georgia (we just get the thunderstorms and rainfall) but my dad was down in Louisiana  for business a few days ago and he said it was just awful. People were boarding their homes up and Wal-mart parking lots were completely full, with people streaming out and carrying as many as two or three carts full of supplies. Congrats for being prepared!

Hope you guys keep safe and this Gustav just fizzles out! <3
