Better to Laugh

In my previous blog, I mentioned all the blessings of an ice storm. While humorous, here are a few of the not so pleasant things:

• Steaming crab legs at home in the winter really stinks up the house
• Flipping the light switch out of habit whenever you enter a room during a power outage makes you feel a little nutty, “Dang, I flipped it, again!”
• Sitting in the lovely candlelight knowing that the mouse you saw two days ago hasn’t been caught, yet (update: no more mouse as of this morning)
• Forgetting that you put a pizza in the oven just before the power went out…apparently it will still cook from the residual heat, if you leave it in the oven long enough. Luckily, it was not actually burnt, just extra crispy.
