I get really excited when it's one of my "TV nights" which is usually Thursday because that's when Parks
& Recreation comes on (my all time fave). This particular Thursday, I was practicing my normal routine, which is basically getting comfortable and making Bella cuddle with me on the couch.
& Recreation comes on (my all time fave). This particular Thursday, I was practicing my normal routine, which is basically getting comfortable and making Bella cuddle with me on the couch. As we were going on about our evening, a severe storm warning flashed across the screen. It had been raining, but didn't seem like anything to prepare for so I ignored it. Then it flashed again a few minutes later. Bella didn't seem too concerned (not sure why I thought she would- she sleeps through everything and her snoring is out of control) so again, I didn't really 
pay it any attention. I'm really invested in this episode of Parks & Rec, as I usually am, and then there's a severe storm/tornado warning. At this point, I start to think, "OK, maybe we shouldn't take this so lightly." I mute the TV to listen for sirens but don't hear any. I make the executive decision to go ahead and take cover anyway. My coat closet is located under my stairs so it makes for the perfect storm shelter. I drag Bella into the closet with me since she is not at all cooperative for this task. I mute the TV again, to continue listening for sirens, not thinking to switch to The Weather Channel. I figured the warning would come on again and determine my fate.

After sitting in the closet for a while and noticing that the weather didn't seem to be getting any worse at all, merely cloudy, I decided that we could probably relocate back to the couch. As I tried to rewind to see what I missed during our "duck & cover", I realized that I accidentally hit fast-forward. I was confused as how the show was able to fast-forward considering I hadn't paused it at all during the storm scare. That's the moment that I realized I had DVR'd that episode of Parks & Rec. The "severe storm warning" wasn't current at all. It was actually weeks old, because I was that behind in my shows.
So basically, I sat in a closet with my dog preparing for a tornado that wasn't even a possibility. It hadn't even been raining since earlier that day now that I think about it.
Insert blonde joke, here.
