We survived!

The storm of the summer that is.

Sunday night out of the blue sky came huge gusts of wind, violent bursts of lightening and roars of thunder and 30 minutes later we were left with trees down and no power or cable... for 48+ hours. I discovered I am as addicted to TV as my children are and I am as bratty as they can be when things don't go exactly as I'd like them to. I am now a master pouter.

Power was finally restored around 3AM and I am happy to say we woke up to the air conditioner pumping out night cold air. I am also happy to say we woke up to cable and an internet connection - woo- to- the- hoo!

No phones... but with 2 cell phones do I really care if my home phone is working? No.

Oh... and 2 TVs, the wii, our oven and refrigerator and a few other minor appliances were "fried" in the storm. I see a kitchen remodel in our near future. What a bummer!!! (if you could see the smile on my face...)

The storm also brought us a relief from the 100+ degree temperatures and it's beautiful in MD today!!

Happy Anniversary

ahh... marital bliss.

Happy Anniversary Honey Bunny!

Do you post at the same time every day?

Or so you schedule your posts for an early morning publishing so we can log in every morning for our morning reading?

Obviously, I have no method for my blogging madness other than there is no method. I really don't even care if anyone is even reading anymore. I just like the thought of having my blogging friends... and you know who you are. New and old friends - you are like BFF's only virtual. Does that make you VBFF's?

I think so.

Like waves in the ocean...

that's what I'll call my blogging lately.

My question for you is do you like long stories or do you like the quick hits of something something?

Me? I like the stories but I also like the quick updates. Just give me a little something to get me by. A little white kitty, a puppy story, what you had for dinner, your new shoes, your latest sewing project, a good photo, a great gelato recipe, your daughter's swimming accomplishments, how cute your girls are, etc... I'll take anything you have. And if you want to rant a little - well, I'll take that too. I'm not hard to please. Really, I'm not. I just like reading what you have to tell me.

And you? Do you like the blogging of 2006? The stories with details or do you like the "new" microblogging trend?

Digitally Double Downed

That's me these days. I now have a Blackberry Curve for work... and I'm not giving up my iPhone so that makes me accessible to everyone and anyone 24/7. Great. I mean... great! I'll never ever miss anything ever again!

Crank Texting?

Isn't that what we used to call it when "you" used to call your science teacher and ask them if his refrigerator was running? And when he would say, yes... you would say well, then you better go catch it?

Just asking - not that I would ever do such a thing in the 7th grade at my then BFF's house at 2 AM.

I was "crank texted" tonight. The text read...

"I love u lets do it in my pool."

Lovely...

"...let's do it..." gets me every time. I think I'm in love (too).

Let's call it a gift...

because I couldn't resist the urge to buy one.

It was just too hard to say no to the many many emails I received from you Apple and AT&T.

FedEx... where are you?
