5 Days Without Power Makes One INSANE

Well folks,  I've officially lost it.  I went shopping last night just to soak in some electricity before I went home to my disturbingly dark house.  As much as I shouldn't be shopping (my bedroom hardly has room for me, never the less another item)...I went....and I found boots that fit my abnormally large (the politically correct call them athletic) calves.  Unless you have this problem, you have no idea how hard it is to find leather boots without an old lady stretch pannel up the side...but I did it!  And they were inexpensive, considering they were leather and from Nordstrom (one of my favorite stores in the world, just behind Bloomingdales and just before Banana Republic).

They're not very 'me' I'm much more classic in terms of style, but I kind of love them...I also have 2 weeks or so before 'boot weather' so I can wear them around my house...Which yes, I will actually do.

As promised and keeping a 'picture' theme going today...here are some pictures of my town during the hurricane:

I'm sure you can't tell, but our transformer (source of electricity) is in the back left of the above picture...aka Underwater.

Again, the transformer is next to the Hess station...You can see what we were dealing with. 

My tree took a field trip into my neighbors backyard.



No SFCD Soy Misto for me on the Sunday after the storm :-(

We even did nails by candlelight!  Hurricane Irene herself appologized after seeing this photo (I swear, check my facebook!)

Happy Hump Day!!
