ice apocalypse 2007

wowza...this has been a crazy few days. we lost power, got power, lost power, got power...we were down for about 12 hours total but it eventually stayed on for good. there is a very special vulnerability that comes with no electricity. both of our parents are down and both of e's brothers...i feel pretty lucky to come out of this unscathed. unfortunately a couple of trees in my yard have taken a beating.













































but i must admit the ice was pretty...and please notice our obnoxious sized lights on our house.

other than the ice drama not much has been going on. nothing on the job front. i've been doing a little freelance stuff. i really want to bake some cookies but need a plan to get rid of them. i'm slowly finishing up shopping. my wrapping is caught up. i continue struggling to find some structure in this unemployed madness.
