Kevin went to work this morning, after clearing off vehicles and warming them up, and gave me strict instructions not to leave until I heard from him. He made it to work, but it was getting slicker by the minute the closer he got to work. Since I have three times the distance to go, he called home and said "Don't leave. Period." Dang. Stupid ice storm is gonna cost me a lot of catching up at work.
"Oh well," I thought, "I can play on the computer and chat with mom." WRONG. Mom has no power. I surf for a while, then get bored because my nearby buddies can't get online. My out of town buddies are all at work. WAAAAAA! (Pity party anyone?)
I did call mom and dad on his cell. If the roads aren't too bad, they might get out a bit to warm up and have something to do. I told him to head this way if safely possible. At least we have power. Part of me hopes they come over. Maybe they can even stay for dinner! The other part of me wants them to stay put. Dad is the safest driver I've ever met, but still....I'm getting older, so I worry. I know he won't chance it if it's not safe, though.
I guess I'll peruse the internet some more. :(

just think, you still might be having that pity party tomorrow. LOL
Electricity came on after midnight last night. We hated to be gone too long with two burners on the stove on, and you know how I like to camp out. I'm glad you were there that close though, because if it had gone on another day, we'd have been there!
You can hollar at me if I am on line anytime!
