It’s official…Pioneer life is not for me.
I found that out really quickly while being out of power for four days! But it could have been worse, my bleeps. Ann from On Sutton Place just told me they went seven days with out the Almighty Electric.
EEEEE—gads!
But, I must say, we had loads of fun…
Movies were seen…
Waters were parked…
I was having so much fun, I thought I’d go all out and add some family fun Bingo to the mix…
But then I recalled one tiny detail…
No Power. Ha.
When it started, I things were looking kinda like this:
(Oh, yeah. I can handle this…)
At the end of four days, things were more akin to this:
(AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!)
So HEP me.
Now, I’m a little more along these lines:
Well…not quite, but almost…
I’m still sorta walking around like this:
But I’ll get there eventually and maybe come out lookin’ like this:
No, wait, I already tried that fifteen years ago, and it didn’t go quite so well…
NOW you’re laughin’… aren’t YOU?

Awww…thanks, girl! I’m sorry you’re headachy! I hope you get to feeling better!
Now, if only I could transplant her body on mine…
Ha! You pulled that hair off pretty well- I did not! My son cried when I permed my my hair.
Glad you pulled thru and the mere fact that you didn’t pull all your hair out is admirable.
Though bald Gwennie would be super BOLD. heehee
You are so funny, you wild thang!

Ha! I’ve been all over the map with the hairstyles! When I wear it curly, Brendan tells me I have crazy hair!
Haven’t tried bald yet, but who knows?
I can see the Nicole in you – so dern cute! And when did big hair go out…nobody told all my strands
Glad we have power now; wish the rain would come and feed our poor parched earth.
Hahaha! I kinda did like being a “blondish”… couldn’t ever get it blonde, though. It always turned my hair that strawberry color.
We’ve had some rain, but we could use a bit more. It was 94 today!
Oh how I miss big hair! Err NOT…that was TOO much work and I don’t think the ozone layer can handle anymore aerosol hairspray
Dude I dunno how you survived 4 days without power! I would be doooomed if I lost power for 1 day never mind 4

OH, LAWDY! I don’t think I’ll go back…not even if it’s in style! Hahaha!
I’m so glad to be in the cool AC! I can’t even tell ya!
I am glad you survived. 4 days is a long time to go powerless. At least it made for good blogger fodder. I loved your picture from 15 years ago. Thanks for the giggles

Thanks, Amy! I’m so glad it’s over…. we did try to stay cool and got to have a little extra fun to make up for the pain of it!
That’s hilarious! I can’t believe it was 4 whole days..I am sure it felt like 14! We went 3 days in the dead of winter once with no power..our house was like a cave and we spent lots of time at Starbucks and the gym! Hope you are rollin’ and back to tripping the light fantastic and getting your power on! I won’t say for sure, but I just might have a big hair photo or two, myself. Just maybe. Thanks for sharing the humor of it all with us!

It did! I’ve been through it in Winter, too and at least in summer you can drive around and do stuff!
I’d love to see the photos…hehehe…
LOL! Just love your four days in picks! That power outage gets to be expensive, right?

And you rocked that Nicole Kidman perm!

Oh, yes! We spent soooooo much extra $$$$!!!! It was like a vacation but without power… a total mix of emotions going on the whole time! Yay, FUN! Boo, it’s HOT! hahaha…
You are stunning no matter what. You always keep your cool. I bet this is not the first time to phrase: “It’s fun but it’s hot!” has come our of your mouth, girl.

You’re my hero. truly, I hope that you know that. If the power is out for longer than 8 hours, I’m finished! And, for the record, you ROCKED the whole “Nicole” thing! Girl, it’s ALL about the lipstick! And gold hoop earrings…don’t forget about those! xo
