So power is back on after 4 and a half days in the dark. We lost it about 4:30 AM on Friday and didn't get it back until Tuesday night. It wasn't too terrible an ordeal, except that by Sunday everyone in the house was ready ready to kill each other. I did get a fair bit of reading done with my handy little book light. Saturday night was the worst, it was about 10 degrees outside and the temperature in my room was close to 40 I think. Needless to say, we'll be better prepared for the Nor'easter we're supposed to get this weekend. I'm totally ready to move to someplace warm and we're barely halfway through December.
School is done for me on Friday, so I can't wait to enjoy my freedom for a little while. I start my work vacation on Sunday so I'm quite thrilled for that too. I'm excited for Christmas next week, but not excited that my brother's girlfriend is coming to live with us on the 23rd. Shes moving from New Mexico, has never met us before and has no friends here (except for my brother). I'm a little skeptical about this. Call me a Negative Nancy but seriously. You met on the Internet. You don't have a job a here. Your boyfriend might be out of a job at the end of the month. What the fuck. Maybe think this through? Oh well, they're in "love" and are perfect for each other. Sorry, is my cynicism showing?
I thought this was fitting and amusing...
Your result for The Harry Potter Husband Test...
Mrs. Snape
Your perfect HP man is Severus Snape.
You like a guy of loyalty and intelligence and don't really mind if he comes across as a bit harsh. Or a bit bastardy. Or if he happens to terrify every child who crosses his path. The point is that under that rough exterior lies...well, a rough interior. But under that is a soft, squishy center and you don't mind at all that you're the only person in the world who gets to see it.
