We woke up to a cold house again this morning. We hadn't lost power again, that we know of, but sometime in the night our furnace shut off. Thankfully we still have electricity and could plug in our portable heaters. We still don't have our cable phone or internet service back (I just purchased 1 hour off a wireless site... that I only have an intermittent connection with... so I could check our email and access my Christmas cookie recipes). Thank God we have DirecTV ;)
Mr F ran to the store to get tuna, bread, & sugar (can't wait for that phone call... yes our cells still work). I hesitate to buy much more than our day's necessities in case we end up having to pack up and stay elsewhere. Hopefully the neighborhood burger joint is open and we can walk up there for dinner.
If our power stays on I'm planning to have a big baking day and, if I can get my car out tomorrow, ship off my Christmas boxes on Monday. I'm kind of getting down to the wire on those...
That's all folks. Not exactly the weekend I had been hoping for, but it has been an adventure.

You are SO Little House on the Prairie... with wireless.
Stay warm, and enjoy your baking!
Indeed. Yesterday I tried to reheat our calzones on the top of the wood burning stove. Mr F said "you can just do that in the kitchen." (our range is gas)... yeah.... but that's not as much fun.
wow. btw we have less than an inch. "funny" isn't it.
Welcome to the club!! Our boiler rusted through and we've been without heat since Thursday. Friday night was our big Christmas party. Today the boiler guys are here installing the new one, but they've knocked off for lunch and still no heat. Tons of fun, innit?
PS: Tell Mr. F that it's fun to reheat your calzones anywhere in the house.
