on the lighter side. . .

[dinda]

before I post depressing pics from today's journey back home, you should know that my family is very much of the "laugh instead of crying" type - thank goodness. There are some things so absurd you really just do have to laugh sometimes.

The other night after we had power restored to my parent's house my sister and I ran into each in the hallway in the middle of the night on the way to bathroom. We each had a flashlight in our hands then we looked at each and laughed as I said, "or we could just turn on a light." pa-dum pah. We were so used to moving around at night with flashlights it didn't even occur to us anymore to use the regular house lights! we're such dorks!

Tell you what it was kind of nice for a few days to have all the neighborhood kids playing outside and us sitting in the cool evening breeze. . .until the mosquitoes came back in force. Tonight they're all playing xbox and hanging out on myspace again. And man is this ever the text-generation, Generation T for texting - you read it here first. These kids are glued to texting.

Okay, must try to get back on some sort of regular sleep schedule. . .night all.

Good to see you posting! Please let me know if there's anything I can do from here. Even in Cincinnati we lost power for several days when Ike turned and made a half hearted slap at Ohio. :)

Hope you are well. :*

Just back from Disneyland with James and his friends. Glad there was no major damage to your house. Sorry it's going to take so long to get back to living there. Hugs.
