oh hai!

well.. here i am again. ignoring el bloggo. lets see, we’ve had a lot going on since we’ve last been in touch. Let’s see… last Thursday .. the 11th! Miles and I were lucky enough to go the Trans Siberian Orchestra, (see you tube below if you dont know of what I speak of) and let me tell you, it was AWESOME. I have been to concerts .. everything from Jimmy Buffett to Metallica and this show was spectacular. Maybe I appreciated everything a little bit more because I am so more older and so much wiser and just loved watching through the eyes of a 10year old boy fascinated by the super drum solo and laser light show. But that’s when the fun ended. We knew that an ice storm was coming and as long as we made it to/from the show, we would be ok. So – on our way home, almost almost home, I saw a tree kind of flamey and kind of smoking – and then I realized that I power line was loose and had started the tree a flame, and then as soon as I started to dial 911 the line snapped and fell to the wet streets below and ZAP, we felt the surge of electricity and it made our hairs stand on end. I stepped on the gas and zooooooooomed home. As we drove the half mile home, we saw the lights go out in chunks all around us, and it was BLACK outside. We were lucky to have electricity on again by the middle of the night, but than off again after early morning. We were able to survive at home and finally had to mosey to the in-laws for a warm home and some warm food for the kids. Thankfully, we were up and running by 4p. But, some of my poor dear friends are still without.. so send them electricity vibes please

So, the kids have been out of school since Friday! FRIDAY! It is the worst week EVER to be out of school. There are packages to wrap and still buy for that matter. I have been lugging them all over town and they’ve been VERY! good. But I just found out today that they are out for the rest of the week. So, we shall see what I can get done with towing them around town with me.. and Thursday we bake!

Knitting! I have been knitting but your going to have to go check out Bucket and Mrs Beeton on my Rav.. just in case my ‘rents decide to check out el bloggo.

Ok my friends. I hope to come and visit you more through the blog. But with my kids home and me drinking to cope, I dont know how that will be possible. I kid I kid. Hope your enjoying this oh so festive season!
