Well, if anyone lives around this area or has seen the news or weather lately…you know about the evil ice storm that hit. Well where I live they declaired it a disaster area. Yeah, it’s that bad! I don’t think there is a tree around here that still has all it’s branches. It looks like a tornado went through and only got the trees. Thankfully none of my family or friends had any damage to their houses and everyone either had heat or was able to go to someones house that did have heat. I’m staying at my parents house for now. They have a propain heater and a generator. The only time I really notice that we don’t have electricity is when we start cooking. We have been going over to my grandmas to eat because she has a gas stove. Thankfully she lives just across the yard. 
It all started Monday. I was getting ready for classes when my Mom called saying that the weather was going to get bad and she thought I should come and stay at her house. So I did. I didn’t think it was going to be as big a deal as it was cause I only brought 1 change of clothes. lol. I also forgot things like my phone charger and to leave the water running a little so that the pipes didn’t freeze. :/ Once I realized how bad it would be I started worring about the pipes and tree limbs hitting my house. We went over there on Thursday though and everything is fine. Actually there is one tree down and a few limbs but nothing like at my parents house. (I’ll have pictures sooner or later.)
As far as the electric goes at one point they were saying that it could be up to 3 weeks before we got it back. Now my dad is thinking sometime today or tomorrow. But sense I live in the oposite direction and farther out, it will be longer before I get electric to my house. I think the only good thing will be that my bill won’t be so high this month. 
O and did I mention that 90something percent of the town I live in was without electricity for a while. Yeah… They have electric people in from everywhere and truckloads of generators in the mall parkinglot. I wish I could get one right now, that way next time I might be able to stay at my own house. I mean, I have a wood burning heater, so the cold won’t be a problem. I would just need some way to get hot water and to heat up food…o and ofcorse I would need internet!! lol. Then again, it would be better to wait till summer to get one, they won’t cost quite as much then.
Anyways, while this is going on here my hubby is in Iowa with a phone that has died and without money because the company he works for aparently forgot to pay him for one of the loads he took. The port thing on his phone where you plug it in to charge it stoped working. So now he can’t charge his phone. He managed to stop at a verizon store earlier, they told him what was wrong and took out his battery, put it in another phone, charged it, then put it back in his phone that way he would have battery for a little longer. It died a little while ago though. So now I probably won’t hear from him untill Monday. 
Also, I quit my job at WalMart. Now I just hope people start needing websites very soon. I put up one flyer Monday before the weather got bad. I will print a few more this comming Monday and put them up at a few other computer shops.

That sounds like a nasty storm. We had storms like that two years in a row. The roads were blocked by trees that had fallen down and a couple of people were even killed by falling trees. It was pretty scary even though I didn’t go out at all during the storms.
Good for you that you quit the wallmart job! Good luck with the website buidling.
