So the funniest thing just happened.  ALL the power in this area suddenly went out–and I mean ALLLLL.  Not just in our little town, but in Matt’s town, who is about 10 miles away.  I know this because cell phones still worked THANK GOD WE COULD HAVE DIED.  Anyway, so immediately after it went out, it was quiet for like, 30 seconds while all the neighborhood was doing, I’m assuming, what we were doing: checking the breaker. Then came several declarations of “It’s out all over!” and THEN?  Do you know what happened then?  PEOPLE WENT OUTSIDE!  Lawnmowers started up!  People were checking flower beds for weeds!  Kids were playing!  It was funny–OMG NO POWER WHAT DO WE DO WHAT DO WE DO?

The bad thing was, I actually had a legitimate and DESPERATELY IMPORTANT need for the internet at that particular moment, because I have one more paper that is due tonight, and man that really would have sucked had I procrastinated for two weeks and then in the final hours I was screwed.  Fortunately the POWER OUTAGE OF 2009 ended quickly and here I am…not writing the paper I need to write.  But it was a funny story!

Actually the funny story is that when the power goes out, I get REALLY WEIRD and run around waving my arms in the air and yelling nonsense and generally acting like a small child high on sugar.  John loved it.  Really.

NOW, I gotta write that paper.

Tschuss!!
