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!

Thanks for the hugs, girlie. I have to admit, not having electricity is enough to drive me completely insane. We are definitely not used to that kind of wind up here. Power lines and trees were falling down, five or six people were killed and they declared Ohio a state of emergency so it was kind of a big deal. Thankfully where I live we only went without power but no major damage to our house or anything. All of our trees are still standing and for that we are extremely grateful.
