HEY!!! Guess what?!?!?!? I don't stink anymore!!!
We got our power back and as soon as the water heater warmed up in the shower I went!!! Boy did that feel good. I had to control myself so I didn't use up all the hot water before my poor DH had a chance.
89 hours without power wasn't a lot of fun but at least it wasn't winter and we were able to finance the fuel for the two generators with the money set aside for our anniversary trip. That's ok. With all the clean up that needs to be done and the potential funeral road trip in the near future, this is no time for running away. Besides, did I mention I have team training (I think that's what it's for) all day Thursday in the "big" town for the census job I start next week. I was re-thinking doing this again but that extra money is going to really come in handy now. We'll just have to make our anniversary getaway a special color trip in the fall instead. Tomorrow we're going to go see if we can lend a hand to some folks that don't have their power back yet.
Now I'm going to crawl between the sheets, watch Deadliest Catch and enjoy not having to get up to refuel anything (and not lay awake listening for a generator to quit).
Have a good evening pond pals

HA! This actually made me laugh out loud. Technically “I” wasn’t the one arguing. I was minding my own business & trying to be helpful. I guess there’s at least one person out there that doesn’t find my quirky sarcasm charming. Ok, at least two (if we’re counting the crazy neighbor.)

So apparently I guess teenagers don't know about Cats the musical?

I went to see the new Lion King tonight - I have tomorrow off and like to do my theater-going late night on weekdays because the theaters tend to be pretty empty. I especially like to do this when I'm going to see a 'kids' movie because, well, I don't like kids

The only flaw in my plan is that school is out, whoops. So there were actually quite a few teenagers there. I think I was the oldest person in the theater. During the previews they were being fairly obnoxious and I was worried that I would have to tell a particularly large group to shut up, but luckily they quieted down when the movie started. Anyway, I digress.

One of the previews was for a movie they are making of Cats. The actors are CGI'd to look like, well, cats. The comments the teenagers immediately started making and kept making all the way through made me instantly realize that they had NO idea what Cats was.

So I felt old, and I was probably only barely ten years older than they all were, lol.

you and i are about the same age and i often feel the same way watchin em act like fools. I think part of it is the difference in how i was raised. The lack of respect they have just kills me but then eating tide pods? Let em wean themselves out i say!

I missed my big chance to see "Cats." I was very pregnant which means running to the bathroom about every few minutes (to pee) So I reluctantly didn't go with the family.

Ha i got post #420

I feel the same when I go to the movies. A bunch of teenagers always have their legs, feet (no shoes) on the seat ahead of them. All through the movie I am preparing to deal with them should that happen to my seat. Maybe they can read my mind - they don't dare.
