here on Sunday, it seems that Lauren is finally going back to school. I have never been through a hurricane and still haven't but they did say it was a Category 1 hurricane winds. Pretty incredible as it were. It seems that all our AEP trucks went South to Texas where the real trouble was and left us in Columbus with pretty much nothing. So it was "lights out" for Columbus. Just yesterday on my way home from work, I saw about 10 AEP trucks barreling down the interstate from somewhere else. I couldn't make out from where, they just weren't Columbus trucks. So we helped someone else, and someone else had to help us. It seems that most people without electric still won't get their lights on until Sunday. We were most fortunate in our little town of Dublin, that we were without for about 12 hours. However, just a couple miles away from us, where the real affluent live, you know where they play the Memorial golf tournament, they are still without, thus why Lauren was out of school.
The phones finally turned on at the doctor's office where I worked yesterday. As soon as the phones turned on, my phone's light started blinking. It seems that those ladies have "serious" issues that couldn't seem to wait, and that is a big NOT. It's those perimenopausal women who refuse to think they are starting the process of menopause and it certainly couldn't happen to them. NEVER! Well that's my life. It doesn't matter to them that I am one of those perimenopausal women trying to start that process myself. It's sometimes hard to hear about yourself every single day.
Anyway, just wanted to say, all things are clear in the city of Dublin. Now we have to endure this presidential race again instead of hearing about power outages. We are a swing state you know and seem to have "Presidential" visitors almost everyday. Of course, both Obama and McCain canceled their events to Ohio because of our dilema, but now everything is a - okay. That too will be over I hope come November.
Also, since I have no more pictures to post of the storm, I thought I would show you our animal population in our house. You saw Mel's cats and dog, so here are ours. We replace kids with animals. We put air freshners in our house last night if that tells you anything. I will be glad to send half of the population out when Melissa moves to her apartment. The litter box will not be so overwhelming. However, they are sweet, but it is almost time for sweetness to go. We do love our grandcats and dogs however.
My dog Barney. His registered name is Barnum. His 1 year old birthday is the 29th of September.
Barney and Bailey, thus Barnum and Bailey... Get it?
Our 2 cats. Willie and Grace. Of course they are "Will and Grace." Willie is the stripped one.
I thought of those names. Can't you tell? Ingenious!
