February 11, 2010

I just spent the past 73 hours without power in my house. In a blizzard. More if you count the 8 hours we lost power, and then it came back on for 8 hours, just to lose it again, for 73 hours, straight. And what I encountered during that time was a complete failure by [...]

And So It Goes

February 10, 2010

Since we have been home with the power back on, I have done 8 loads of laundry, 2 loads of dishes, played about 17 games on the Wii, and spent hours working on Michael's 5 year video montage. I'm calmer now, and looking back, I realize how whiny I was over the 73 hours we [...]

Being an Aunt is a Blast

February 2, 2010

Sunday night we went out to dinner with my whole family. My 8 year old nephew is one of my favorite people in the whole world, and certainly one of Michael's. He was explaining to us why he would not eat a "living creature." His father explained to him that he does eat living creatures [...]

February 1, 2010
