That's right! Thanks to mother nature and the ever-so-friendly ice storm we, like 100,000 other NWAers, have no power!! Ahhh! I forget how much I rely on it until it is gone!My day started off quite lovely actually. My boss sent me a text early this morning that said, "please don't come in to work, I don't want you to get stuck here" (I commute about 30 miles to work), so I was thinking great, a day off to relax!! My mom told me Josh and Jen were without power, but I was just SURE our power would stay on because we have underground electrical lines! Ha! What did I know?! I got in the shower and that's when the lights flickered and I started saying out loud, "Oh no! Please don't go off before I get my hair dried!!" Haha! So girly, I know! Well I did get it dried, but only dried. I didn't get to Chi it or poof it, because 2 hours later while I was watching my favorite show, HGTV Designers Challenge....FLICK....all the lights and TV went out!! That was at 2:25 pm!! We are still sitting in the dark!
My mom, my dad, and I got out of the house and went to eat dinner this evening (while we were eating the lights went out at the restaurant!). Then, we drove around town since there was so much to do at home! Haha! Let me tell you, in some places it looks like a tornado has come through! There are power lines and trees down everywhere as well as trees on cars! It looks bad.
For now we are still warm! I am in furry boots and still have my coat on! My mom and I are playing Phase 10 via candle light! It is actually not that bad! We are having fun just talking and playing! Please keep all the electric company workers in your thoughts and prayers tonight. They have a lot of hard, dangerous hours of work ahead of them. Also, keep the elderly who are in the cold and dark in your prayers, too. I will keep you updated as often as we can (and as long as my blackberry stays on)! Hope you all are staying warm!!
P.S. Thanks to all of you who left comments on my first post! It was nice to "meet" you all! I look forward to following your blogs as well!
