I'm back!

So, I've been a bit absent the last few days, because of believe it or not, hurricane Ike. Now considering I live in the completely landlocked state of Ohio it seems a bit absurd that a hurricane would cause us any major problems. Well, after it was through torturing those poor Texans it hopped up here and we actually had winds classified as catagory one strength. Now I realize for some people that would be no big deal, but up here, we don't know how to deal with it. Ice, sure... snow, bring it on... hurricane... WTF???? So, yeah, no electricity since forever, in fact over the half the state was without power last I heard via a trusty battery powered radio. At the moment it's back on (thank God I live in a city) but I'm worried it will go off again. Presently our phone line is laying in our backyard... so yeah, good times. Just wanted to share the madness with my internet friends. Hope everyone else is safe!

I'm glad you're ok girlie. I told Ike to behave but he didn't listen. Like J, I know what you're dealing with but I'm glad you're ok. I hope everything calms down for you soon. *hugs to keep you safe*

Thanks, Sharon. I know that what we got up here is only a small taste of what a hurricane is actually like, but we were in no way prepared to handle it. Even now a lot of businesses and schools are still closed because there isn't any power. I'm so glad things are basically back to normal in my neighborhood... although we are still waiting for the phone company to get their power line out of our yard. *laughing*
