Wasted Friday night
I am so mad at our stupid power company. About the only thing they're good for is their name (go see just what comes to mind when you read it). We lose power at least once a week. Normally it's just a 5-10 minute spike, and everything goes back to normal. But at least every 4-6 weeks we're graced with a total black-out. Like tonight. I was 90% through with converting Holly's blog to MT, and "poof!" And right before Todd got home from work, I'd finished up buying gifts for all but 3 on our Christmas list. I just knew I'd be done in time for us to curl up on the couch and watch a Christmas movie since Porch was closed tonight...not! I still have to take care of them. And it's just our sub-division, too. Everyone else around us, including the row of houses directly behind our fence, has Florida Power -- and it never goes out. Ironically during our tropical storm earlier this year, we didn't lose power at all. Tonight it sprinkled for the first time in WEEKS, and we lost power for about 3 hours. Go figure!
