Faerie Enchantment

The Autumn Snowstorm!


After having a very busy and super exciting weekend, I was ready to get to work, send out orders, back orders, swaps and gifties out, On Monday we lost internet access and the computer was down, on and off all day, everytime I started a new cd order, the system shut. So I said, I will do it tuesday, that didn't happen either, I woke and saw a coating of snow, I was excited, wow, what a sweet surprise. As I was scanning the new images to add to my cd collections I called in my dog:DJ and went to make a cup of coffee, when we heard a loud explosion, with that being said, POOF, we lost power!

Wow, now that was a loud explosion, the snow was piling up, trees were dropping and branches flying all over, hitting the roof and sides of the house. Still, I thought we will have power soon. The optimistic person I am, decided to paint by the window some older un-finished pieces until the power came back. Since I am a Hot Glue Queen, I couldn't finish my pieces or swaps.

Then I thought it is Glenn and Mine's 2 year anniversary, I'll find an outfit for tonight, if it gets worse I'll go to my Mom's to get ready. Well I get a call from her, the power is out here too, then with 2 bars left in my cell, once that dies, I am completely powerless in the house, how do I get help if I need it?
Okay after 7 hours of no power, (no heat, hot water or refrigeration),over 8 inches of snow, a huge tree down missing my car
and light dwindling outside, what do I do? No Glenny and now my cell phone is dead. Finally he arrives home after being detoured from all the main road closures and down trees, around 7pm, we rush out and try to salvage whats left of our anniversary with a trip to Charlie Browns, Glenny in his work clothes and me in three layers, a coat, scarf, gloves and rubber knee mud boats (at least they were my polo specials), no make up and a pony tail, very attractive I assure you! LOL!

After dinner we head over to Lowes and come to find all generators from Home Depot and surrounding Lowes were sold except for 4 left, which all of us powerless folks each bought, after 2 hrs of waiting around..Now you are thinking she now gets power, wrong, this one is broken, LOL..So we bundle up, camp out by the fire with the kitties, the dog, a bottle of wine, a bag of marshmellos, bamboo skewers, an a militia of Yankee Candles, 5 blankets and call it a night.


Turns out we might not get power until Friday or Saturday, even the shopping plaza's are without power except for a few small areas, and now my Mom has power too, thank goodness, I needed to warm up, charge my phone and get to a computer.

Glenny is currently installing a new generator he got on the road today, a $1000 later, they aren't cheap, LOL..Despite all this it will be an anniversary to remember, a good one to tell our future children and grandchildren.

If anyone is waiting on orders, back orders, swaps, etc., please give me some time to get power and into my main computer base. All zine orders should still be on time, as they are shipped directly from the publisher and I can access through my email on this computer. If you have any questions, I will get to them as fast as I can!

Have a Magical and Snow Free Halloween!

Hugs!
Lisa!
