Apparently the button that toggles power on and off to our home is punched every time there is a chance of rain, just to be safe I guess. As of 3pm yesterday our power has been out. Mind you there was no big storm at our house or even rain, but it is out. The first time we called it was estimated to be back on at 6:15pm. So we both took a nap at 5:45pm expecting to wake up with the AC buzzing and filaments a burning.
We over slept a bit and woke up two hours later to a dark house. A second call to the power company put the estimate at infinite or rather no estimate. So we piled in the car and went to my parents place for a hot meal and entertainment. We end up staying at my parents till 11pm and having a fantastic time. We baked a cake, ran around the house with Macy and got to relax in the presence of family.
If the power had been on we would have hung out watching TV till around 9pmish and then gone upstairs so I could play video games and Crystal could watch more TV. Instead we went to spend time with our family and came home to get in bed together and read. While I don't want to roll like Abe Lincoln on a regular basis, it was nice to have an Abe night last night. The power is still off and is estimated to be back on at 10pm tonight. So we are looking forward to a partial power free night at the least. We usually go out Friday nights anyway, but when we come tonight and the power isn't on at 11pm it won't be the end of the world. If its not on Saturday morning, thats the end of the world...I kid.

Jo and I were thrilled that Adam and Crystal lost their power,that gave usa chance to have them both plus Gabriel and Kat here in the house running,jumping,dancing in the middle of the floor(that was Crystal)and baking a cake with blue icing add to that Macy running around the house and it was a wonderful evening for Jo and I even if it was past our bed time.

Hey Adam!
I just started a reading list, too! I'm currently reading Anna Karenina, which is a perfect slow book for the train rides...
can't wait to see you at the beach pretty soon!
love your favorite cousin in budapest,

I have much love for those times of inconvenience where after that first 10 minutes of silently mumbling and grousing to yourself, you end up not caring anymore about the electric being out and you find things to do or NOT to do. Time to enjoy the anti-rush.
