….and we’re back!

Lost power for almost 24 hours, but that was it. It could have been much worse. Lots of trees down in town, but luckily none on our house.

I’m quickly learning that power outages are NOT fun, but are more pleasant in the summer then they are in the winter. Yesterday I ate 5 chocolate chip cookies, a liter of lemon seltzer, 2 cans of diet coke, a box of cheese crackers, some lettuce and a bag of pretzels. I also played a killer game of Monopoly and was the second to last standing, but lost all my moolah to a one night stay at a hotel on Vermont Ave.

At about 9:30pm we started acting like we were living in the 1700’s. You know, riding our horses town to milk the cow and worrying about dying of dysentery. Thank the good lord we woke up to power this morning. I’m pretty sure the husband would have filed divorce papers by 10am if we were still out of power (he’s so laid back, he could have read a book for the next week and not have been bothered).
