Without power again and I was freaking out!!

At about 12:15am this morning we lost power when it was storming. Being that we were without it for more than 4 days before I was extremely worrried. How long will it take them this time?? My husband reassured me that it would only be a couple hours and we were finally able to go back to sleep. At around 3:30 or so the power was back on. Whew. What a relief. This is the second and last day of this juice detox diet for me and Tom. At least for now. It's really hard. You sip on 16 oz of juice mixed with water all day long. Nothing else but juice and water!! I really hope it works.

Back to work tomorrow so just an update on things from the past week or so

We went Sunday to spend 4 days and 3 nights in Hocking Hills. The place was amazing. Our own private fishing pond, walking trails, fire ring, hot tub and pretty much whatever else you would need. I found this place amazingly through a chime shop down there. If you are interested or want to see a pic of where we went, their website is http://scenicway.com/. The only gripe I have is the TV was like a 13 inch so watching movies was pretty much out. Guess having that 57" in our living room has really spoiled me. It was great though. Me and my husband had plenty of time to just take in each others company and enjoy each other. We went to Conkle's Hollow and Cedar Falls. No falls though. All dried up. It was still a beautiful walk just the same. We went to a wonderful home cooking diner in Laurelville. Tom caught a huge bass and a ridiculously huge catfish. All of those pics are at my myspace if you want to see. http://myspace.com/tinahayden. We played adventure golf, cooked out and relaxed wen we were tired in the hot tub. I like this whole vacation thing and we were sad to check out. I had my genetic appointment on Thursday. What it comes down to is that I have translocated chromosomes and a normal pregnancy is about 85% likely. Not horrible but why do I keep getting the other 15% of it then? We talked about it and decided we'll give it one more shot and if the same thing happens we'll know it's just not meant to be. I also got a PS2 and have had a blast so far with Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk. Huge post I know but what can I say. I'm sure I'll have more when I get back to work. I actually miss it and all of my little family there.

I got the power!!

It's awesome! Yesterday at about 5pm we were restored! When I got the news I wanted to dance or jump up and down or something. I was at work and had customers in front of me so I didn't.(and i remembered that I now have an empty fridge and freezer) It was so weird to go home and not have to light a candle or sit in the complete dark. On another note, I'm really looking forward to having a week off with my sweetheart. We leave Sunday to go to our cottage in Hocking Hills. I hope to have fun and get lots of exercise. I'm posting pics from the last time we went down there. See you guys on the flip side.:)

You never know how good you've got it until you don't have it anymore!!

WEll, I'll start by saying nothing major was damaged of ours in the wind storm hoever we've been without power for almost 48 hours. After flickering off and on for about an hour on Sunday it finally stayed out and is still out. Everything in my fridge and freezer has gone to mush or just gone.(as in to the trash can) I'm thankful that we weren't hurt but frustrated to no end that we are still without power. I mean for gods sake out neighbors across the street were restored yesterday. Whatever happened to restoring us? And to boot it all, I have an Oscar fish and an Algae eater at home with no oxygen going into their tank and I don't want them to die. Hope for the best for me, I need it trust me!!

I can not believe my 3 day weekend is over:( Thing #8

We had a good weekend and extra day off but wow that was fast. We went to the labor day festival in Canal Winchester and I got to see my big sister Carol for the first time in a very long time. She was my mentor and everything from the big brothers/big sisters program when I was younger. I took my little brother Shawn and my dad and husband went. We had a blast. Smoothie King was there and we were so happy about that. We had a smoothie for dinner. Yes, it's that good. If you haven't tried them, you have to. There's a new one opening in Hilliard and I can't wait. We went to Hoover Dam yesterday and it was a good time too. The sunset was absolutely beautiful. It was a great day for a cookout today and I didn't want the day to end. Here's wishing 3 day weekends were longer. I explored some blogs and RSS feeds although I was already a member of a lot of them and I found them all through Google's blog search.
