Well that was ... fun? o_0
I've been having a really good day, up until about three hours ago. My cell phone rang and my neighbor informed me that she'd been trying to call and was getting a busy signal. Ordinarily, that would be no problem, it would simply mean that I was online ... except she knew I wasn't online because she'd seen me and the kids coming back from town. (Had to return a video, you know.) That was when I discovered that I had no dial tone.
I was ON THE LINE with the phone company, when - the power went out. Apparently not just my power, power across at least three Southern Indiana counties went down. And it stayed down for over an hour.
I know that in the grand scheme of things lack of phone and power isn't something to whine and feel sorry for myself about. But you know what? I did anyway. I whined and felt sorry for myself. Only, there wasn't anyone to whine to because I'd already put the boys to bed, and I had no phone so I couldn't call anyone for sympathy either.
Okay, I could have used the cell phone to call someone, but really, who wants to be called just because I'm bored and have no power? That would be a poor use of a friend, right? Calling up just so they could entertain me while I'm sitting here in the dark with nothing to do? Yeah, I thought so to. But NEXT time - I'm calling you because, hey, sitting in the dark with nothing to do is really boring.

Could've called me I am a phone addict. I call everyone for no reason at all.. I don't like to bored and I know that I am just 10 numbers away from a friendly voice on the other end.
Could have called me! LOL
I'm emailing you my number!
I need to email you. Today was miserable and I'm just now feeling human again...
LOL. I must say, my family loves power outages. We start a fire in the fireplace, roast marshmallows and play poker by candle light. Fun stuff. They look forward to it.
At least it didn't last all night...I can't stand the boredom either, I would've gone to bed early LOL
Like your new look!!!!
You shouldve grabbed a flashlight and made shadow puppets
It's always great to call afriend when you're bored. Sometimes the nicest things come of it. Blessings.
That does not sound like any fun that I know!
