It's Electric!!!
It's amazing how reliant we are on power. The power went out today about 3 pm. It FINALLY came back on about 12:30 am.
Without electronic devices to entertain me... I was productive. Did some cleaning and organizing... but then the sun went down. Lauren and I played 3 games of Sequence (Thanks Melissa!!!) NiMo said the power should be on approximately 6 pm (Lying Bastards!) so we were trying to hold out. By 6:15, we were cold and starving. Went to Panara. Killed some time there. Then tried to figure out what else to do.. go to the movies? Why bother, if we wanted to sit in the dark we could do that at home... bowling? We didn't want to be anywhere near people seeing as how neither of us had showered... after discussing it for a half hour, we decided to go to Barnes & Noble. Great idea. Drank coffee... looked at books. It was bright and warm... I don't think I have laughed that much in a long time.
Got home @ 10:30 and still no power. Andrew came home and we played Scatagories (sp?) by the light of candles and lanterns. Andrew has anger management issues. But I beat them.
Work is interesting... busy. I like my kids and feel like I am actually teaching for a change.
A friend of mine had an epiphany last week - whilst (his word, not mine) crawling to the toilet (he had thrown his back out) he realized that this is why people get married. Interesting perspective and kinda true. I look at my parents and with everything my mom is going through. It's nice to know there's someone there.
I am watching a PSA on how to get on a school bus. Now, it's 1:31 am. What kid is up at this hour to be watching a bus safety commercial??? Whoever planned that should have his ass fired.
What else?? Nothing much. Been pretty much a hermit. Haven't spoken to anyone or done anything lately. Gotta change that. But it's winter and I enjoy hibernating.
Been working on my novel. The one I started in 1994. LOL Not sure if it will ever be finished but it keeps me out of trouble. I have been being crafty lately. Scrapbooking and now making a quilt. Interesting with my lack of attention span. Can't wait to see how it all turns out.
So... I should probably go to sleep now. Been enjoying this last hour with power. TV and cable and internet... wow... as Andrew said, how do the Amish do it??? LOL
BTW - Boys still suck.

Long Distance
Okay, so the dating trend these days seems to be long distance. My cousin is currently seeing someone who lives in LA. He lives in Boston. He's having fun with it so, hey! And another friend of his lives in Seattle and is trying to date someone here. Time zones, my friends. I am just trying to see someone in the same times zone. Not even fussy about the same state.
The New Year has rolled in quite well. As I said, New Year's in Boston rocked. Came back and got a snow day. Booked my April trip to Disney World. I don't care if I have been there 3 times already, I like it. It makes me happy.
My mom is doing well... no major health issues at the moment. A little cold and a possible case of vertigo that we blame on the flu and pneumonia shots she got this fall. I still say the flu shot makes you sicker than the flu. But whatever.
Work has been insane. I picked up a third kid to work with. He's hearing but needs help so I am doing AIS. It's kinda fun being useful for a change. However the FM systems are going to be the death of me. Long story, albeit amusing.
Recent Movies: Rent, Harry Potter 4... Loved them both. Adam Pascal just rocks in Rent.
Currently reading: The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. I haven't been reading much lately and haven't been finishing anything I start. I like summers better when I can read seven books.
Recent DVD's: Must Love Dogs, Dark Angel - Season 1. John Cusack is just amazing. I can watch him in anything. Dark Angel has been my Alias this winter. I had watched it while it was on and Netflix has been delivering it to my door. I liked Max and Logan, they're not unlike Sydney and Vaughn....
Think I'll go to bed now...

Happy New Year
The trip to Boston was a success in so many ways. The party was great. Rock Club was terrific. Having to deal with my cousin gloating all morning New Year's Day was annoying. So, he made out with someone. Hehe...
Apparently spontaneous has become my middle name. :-)
