Photons!

Our power is back on!! Yaaaaay! Apparently it came on just after midnight. It's pretty nice to flip a switch and have lights turn on. Not to mention the wonder that is flushing toilets.

We ended up spending last night at the house we've house/dog-sat at a couple times because the residents were out of town and offered it. Thank you again, pezmama, for offering to let us stay with you!! A "sleepover" at your place sounds like fun! Call me whenever you want to watch those Jane Austen flicks :)

I don't have to work until 2:00 today because the girls are back in school, and tomorrow should be my last day (for real this time). Now I just have to figure out what to do for food today... I'm getting awful hungry and most of our cold food either got used up or spoiled in the lack-of-coldness. Maybe I'll go see what we have in cans.

And thus ends this grand adventure. Pray for those who are still without power, who have house damage, or who were injured due to the storm.

Well, here's how it works.

The movies will be showing on any given night until they are returned to the library. All you have to do is show up, purchase a ticket by slipping the mistress of the house a $1 bill, and she will pop in the movie of your choice.

Then she will sit down and watch it with you, interrupting at all the wrong times.

Then, as is her custom, she will give you a $1 bill as you are leaving, apologizing that it can't be more.

When you ask why she just gave you the $1, she will tell you that it's the only way she can get people to watch these movies with her - by paying them.

So glad you now have power. Isn't modern technology a wonderful thing?

Hahaha! I'll be a good friend and suffer through them for free ;)

YES, modern technology is wonderful.
