On Fri night the phones went out in our neck of the woods. Cell & land lines. I had apocolyptic (sp?) thoughts as well. Terrorists??

But really it really does make you realize how grossly dependant one is on the modern imenities that we have come to rely upon. It was VERY UNSETTLING not to be able to communicate with the ones you love.

Welcome m&m! It's nice to have another witty sister around. Do you laugh at Whit as much as we do?

Emily, I didn't want a Darcy until I married one. Now what am I going to do?

And, I've thought it through: you read my dark soul.

I believe that cjane wouldn't use drugs or want equipment.

(I believe you.)

Am I the only girl in the world who wouldn't have Darcy? Isn't most of that movie about him being arrogant and jerky? I can't remember much -- I've blocked it out.

Okay. My sister is Whit Ing and, of course, she loves your blog and turned me onto it. I too have fallen. Words are marvelous and you do have a delightful way with them. Thanks for the enjoyment I experience each time I bite into your delicious slice of the cyber pie.

Food storage supply? What is that? Is that that thing they keep talking about in church and that think I keep procrastinating? Yeah, I think it is. Dang.

although then there would be no question of going natural or getting drugs.

unless you have drugs in your food storage.

I just read Austenland; it was fun. :-)

And CJane, you better darn well hope you aren't giving birth in a power outage . . .you crazy girl. Love the now, and the lowered mortality rate of newborns and birthing mothers.

2008-02-25T15:13:00.000-07:00

I admit to disappointment when the power's restored, too. Love enforced darkness and candlelight and coziness! Too bad it was Darcy OR dark.

Thumbs down to birthing without power, though. Pioneer, shmioneer...you'll be wantin' some good monitoring and just-in-case equipment. Methinks.

2008-02-25T13:33:00.000-07:00

The power going out makes me feel claustrophobic. When it's been an especially long time, I love all the little beeps and whir of activity as all the forgotten little appliances turn back on and resume their functions. It reminds me why I don't like to camp.

2008-02-25T13:20:00.000-07:00

I wasn't even going to comment, until I saw something from the Councilwoman. I'm honored to comment on the same thread ... And quick thinking on your response!

Now how to make my mother comment on MY blog...

2008-02-25T12:51:00.000-07:00

Oh I just love your story-telling ability. I love when the power goes out too... but not here in AZ on a hot summer day.

2008-02-25T10:53:00.000-07:00

I can so relate - my dad is on the city council, specifically the power division part, and he constantly got asked when the power would be back on.

I really didn't call the power company. I just sa...

2008-02-25T10:41:00.000-07:00

I really didn't call the power company. I just said that to please our Brit neighbor. Of course they were working on it--Mr. Darcy and Mr. Stewart were on shortly. Way to go Provo Power!
The Councilwoman

Wait, let's say Mr. Darcy is holding the glow stick... (oh, and there is NO pain!)

2008-02-25T08:57:00.001-07:00

I had the most fun one afternoon this winter when the power was out for hours. My two oldest boys who have spent so much of their high school years avoiding one another actually remembered when they used to be best friends and, finding a laptop with a little bit of juice left, played computer games together all afternnoon. I curled up with a good book and eagerly awaited the moment it was dusk enough to light candles.

Re: the power company. I love (not) that by their very own explicit instruction we call to alert them of any outtages and always get that same snippy reply.

I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin no babies!

2008-02-25T07:57:00.000-07:00

Don't we all secretly wish to give birth by the light of a glow stick?

And Mr. Darcy.....Watched him. Love him. Always.
