I know where I was. In my apartment, freezing my toes off! The electricity went out at 3:30am due to the ridiculously high winds in our area. We usually get our electricity back on within a few hours, but not yesterday. The winds kept it virtually impossible for the electric workers to get the grids back up and running. Once they would fix one, another would go down. Four thousand people, including my family, were lighting up their candles at sundown last night. Thankfully, we did not have to wait till 4pm today, as projected, to get our electric and heat back on. This morning around 6am we heard the gorgeous hum of power surging back into our home. I tell you, every time we are without power or heat, I thank God all the more for that specific technology.

My poor little overexcited, tired child just flopped over like a monkey while sitting in his chair at the table. He fell asleep eating! It was the funniest thing I ever saw, even though it really startled him. He is so excited for tomorrow. He has never seen me in full throttle cooking mode before so he KNOWS something is brewing.

I will be writing a bit about his help with cooking. He is an eager helper, who tries to do things BEFORE hearing the instructions...I have to call him a self-starter and refrain from anything negative like disobedient, impatient, or flippant. He is a self-starter. I will not have to motivate him to try things himself and not fit the mold of convention.

I learned something about those words before. I am trying not to use negative words out loud, but it is really hard when I myself am determined to complete tasks efficiently * in negative words: impatient and an unforgiving perfectionist *

IM SLEEPY...still haven't done anything with the onions or garlic.

I know how eclectic I can be, when it comes to music and activities. Want to know what I am  listening to right now?
Maybe I should take a screen shot for you.

Yep that's me today. I ordered myself a Downy ball about a week ago and keep forgetting to pay for it. It's all the seller's fault for not taking Paypal. How do you have a buy it now item and then ask for a money order or check? I thought I had gotten myself some designer personal checks and was shocked when I found out that I still only had starter checks for the account I am paying from. How annoying! So I guess I have to look around and buy cheap checks from somewhere. I wish I could find a collection that is just as eclectic as my music tastes, but that's only what you get with starter checks HAHA. Anyway, among the many other things I have to get for my ThanksTAKING celebration, I have to make sure my desk is fully stocked with office supplies. Why? So I can sell stuff to my relatives as they pass by my wonderful desk. I also have to make it look pretty before everyone comes parading through my home. ERGH!! I really don't wish to go into that task.I have a long list of things to get thus far for this extravaganza and I will probably post it *backdated since LJ is being a bum right now* on my other journal. I am still waiting for the tech team at Livejournal to fix my problem with posting there.

How was that for an eclectic post? LOL
