power!

our power went out yesterday. yay. wait, i mean ew.

on the plus side i learned how to identify my shampoo and conditioner in the dark (when you turn them both upside-down, the shampoo runs to the top faster) and that if i open the window at night it's pretty comfortable in my apartment.

on the minus side, there was no way to keep the food in the fridge cold or to heat it up for dinner.

on the other plus side, it gave me a really good excuse to go to dinner with jorgen, eden, clint, flynn and eden and clint's friend cynthia. we went to chili's and then made some plans so that i can get home this weekend to play with our visitors.

on the other minus side, i was seriously hoping that the power would be back on when i got back to my apartment, but no such luck.

this morning, amber called the apartment manager whose immediate response was to ask if we had called our hometeachers (amber's immediate thought was, 'what, are they going to bless the apartment?') and if we had flipped the switches in the breaker box. but i totally did that yesterday while i was on the phone with her. apparently, we need our hometeachers to do this in future, because it isn't good enough when i do.

anyway, amber figured out today that the contract was up from the old tenants (ashley totally thought that might have been the case, kudos to her) and so she had to put it in her name. they'll be turning it back on at some time today. i'm excited to shower in the light. :)
