Well, we had a 7 hour power outage yesterday after a storm passed through. K has never experienced anything like this, so I had to explain that it's a bit of an emergency situation. We're spoiled, really. I was at a bit of a loss myself, always being 'on the go' and I'm not the type to 'take a nap' or anything. Everything we do these days seems to depend on electricity. I realize we need a good battery powered radio as the one we have doesn't even seem to work.
We decided to go to a restaurant and then to the movies and the power thankfully came on a few minutes after we got back. The houses up the street were fine, it was just our particular grid that was affected, along with other parts of the city and they may still be waiting for power. L and I saw '17 Again' with Zac Efron, it's a cute movie and we enjoyed it. Well, Zac Efron is a cutie. M and K went to see 'Fast and Furious', what else. They loved it.
Today I'm going to M's niece's baby shower. K has to pack for a school trip to Montreal this week. He's excited to be with his school friends. M noticed that when they part these days, they give each other a kind of thumb wrap and a pat on the shoulder, teenager style.

Hi Christine,
It must be terrible to be without electricity. So much depends on it today. I have a wind up radio that's quite good
oh, you are so right that we are addicted to everything electrical. we were out of power last fall for a few days and it was tough!!
Ohhh sorry to hear about your power, we did not loose ours. The storm was horrible here but only for about 10 minutes. Glad to hear you had a good time out of the house!
Oh wow, its true we do rely on everything electrical. It makes you think really. Yes, YOU are always on the go. You inspire me to be busier and just so you know I often think about a certain lady in Canada who manages to fit a lot in. I really admire you for taking control of your health and being such a fantastic mother. Have a good day!
I am glad your power is back on! It is amazing to think how much we rely on it, isn't it? I'm glad your local cinema and restaurants were open. It sounded like you enjoyed a nice day out, anyway.
Hope K has fun in Montreal! Does he speak French? And that's cute (ooo, the worst word to use for teenage boys, eh?) about the thumb wrap thing ;-)
Barbara, I like the idea of a wind-up radio
Julie, maybe we shouldn't be so dependent on electricity but how to unspoil ourselves!
Mom, the storm was only about 10 minutes, maybe less...our contractor was just saying his roof shingles blew off. I suppose it was good to have unplanned time out of the house!
Thanks for the nice words Lilly, although judging from your recent posting, you can get a lot done yourself! (Mega energy)
Japra, K's French leaves much to be desired, but a field trip's a field trip!
