No Worries

Ok, we're back at home. Everyone is fine and so is the house. The fire that was near my house has changed direction, it's moving East and back on itself. This map is very cool if you want to see exactly what's been going on in San Diego. The Harris Fire in the South was the one my family and I were worried about. We lived in the car on the beach for a couple days. See, we'd planned to just get out of town or possibly the state for the duration, but my brother in law is a dork and wouldn't come with us. He thought he was still going to work today. My sister wouldn't leave without him and my mother wouldn't leave without my sister, so we just drove out to the coast and slept in the cars and whatnot. (See moodtheme. I'm ridiculously excited to sleep in my bed tonight. I mean seriously, it's stupid how much I'm looking forward to that.)

( Two things: )

Anyway, we're all good, our house is all good, and it looks like it's going to stay that way. Also, I spent most of the time we were gone knitting and reading Terry Pratchett, and you know who Jared Padalecki should totally be cast as? Carrot Ironfoundersson. (The wikipedia article doesn't do him justice. Trust me, it would be awesome.)
