The lights went out

and the coffee pot and the fridge and the computer and the TV. Ok so they cut the power off to the entire house. Not just turning it off. The power company cut the line at the pole. Yes we paid the bill. All 4 of them. It only took the electrician 4 days but the meter got changed.We now are 1 bill from the power company.
Before the electrician started we (mike & i) had to label all the circuits in the box. It wasn't so bad downstairs but up stairs we had to use our cell phones so we could actually talk and figure out what was what.
While we had no electricity we all went to stay with grandma in vabch. Of course the kids were bored. After i tried catching up on some sleep i hit the thrift stores. I got a few good finds a couple crystal candy dishes and another vanity for on of the upstairs bathrooms.
