Electricity

So I sent out a request to friends for their favorite sugar cookie recipe, because I never have good luck backing those cookies.  I tried my friend Amandas and it was excellent.  Great taste, easy dough to work with, perfect looking cookies etc.  I planned FHE to frost and decorate as we were putting together a Valentine package for John.  Well the decorating just didn't happen.  About 5:30 last night the power started going in and out.  When it was on the lights were barely on and it was like out of some creepy movie.  My dad being the electrican said to unplug everything so we did, and then went to do the same for all the widow/widower neighbors.  The power was out for 5 hours.  Serioulsy cramped my style.  It made me think how electric dependent I am.  No internet, no tv, no light.  I am spoiled and grateful for that.  I can just count on the fact that when I flip a switch something will happen.  So rather than decorating cookies we had a candle lit picnic of Subway sandwichs (couldn't cook anything) and made the best of the evening.  Seriously thought I was super grateful when the power came back on.
