Almost forgot! Happy Belated Birthday crazypunkgrrl! I wouldn't have missed it except for the massive power outage.

Our neighborhood went out for about 3 hours yesterday, and I discovered that age old truth, that without power to the distraction boxes (TV, PC, DVD, etc.) we are suddenly more productive. We got into doing stuff around the house, took our planned trip to the store a little early, and then I used the extra time when we came back to get more done (even though the power was back). I ended up not touching the box at all last night, except to check my mail once and then shut it off.

This means my front porch thang is now an actual sitting room again, instead of an oubliette of bags of old clothing and unwanted household crap. There were about 70 other tiny things I did, but they're not exciting enough to mention. Either way, it was a damn good day.

Oubliette is a fucking wonderful word :D

Awww thank you. Where are you that your power went out? We had a huge lightning storm here that night. WE didn't lose power but we lost signal to the satelitte. Nothing new though.
