I’m not amused, Cupid.
I had to [yes, had to – completely necessary] adopt a Valentine gift from a very generous friend [you know who you are] because my husband is about as romantic and attentive as a neutered cat.
And then this morning happened.
It is -9°F, with wind chill, -28°F. [Yes, those are negative numbers.]
And this morning I was awakened by the voice of my daughter informing me that the POWER WAS OUT. My house was freezing. Not cold. Not chilly. Freezing. I could have left the milk on the counter with no unfortunate consequences.
I have had three cups of hot coffee. I’m going for four. Power was restored about an hour ago. I haven’t recovered yet.
I need some warming up.
what sandra thinks 
I hope power comes back quickly. If not, maybe a romantic time by a roaring fireplace is on order. 😀

Oh it’s back now… but recovery time is undetermined. And re: fireplace… ugh… with who? 😐

There are no words for me to explain how much that’s not going to happen today. I swear… I must be the most unlovable bitch on earth. (Sorry for being so ugh… mad. And I bet you’re sorry you asked!)

I’m sorry to hear that, Sandra. I’m alone right now, but literally. So, instead of romance, I’m doing a deep dive into technology.

Actually…. I just helped my son build a sort of big Star Wars LEGO set. That was fun. Thank god my kids are awesome. Or I would have gone mad by now. 🙂
But we do have some “Forbidden Chocolate” ice cream… that sounds delicious. I know what I’m having for dinner. Thanks! 😛

I must say that one of the most painful things that I’ve experienced is stepping on a Lego piece barefoot. Then again, I barely survived manflu.

I hope you never have to go through the manflu trauma again. 😛
I’m amazed I’ve never stepped on a brick. There’s enough Lego in this house to open our own store.

Ha! I have 2 kids and only ever felt 3 contractions in my life. Childbirth wasn’t actually all that painful for me… they had to, um, cut me open to retrieve my babies. And I felt none of that. Thank God. (Sorry, too much info)

House is much warmer. Let’s not even discuss how much coffee I’ve had.
It is so cold here that we received a broadcast phone call from the town we live in telling people to stay indoors and check on your friends and neighbors! Apparently, we have not had a day this cold here since 1957.
