Life Without the Internet AND Life Without Everything For 7-10 Days

Life Without the Internet
So a little over a month ago David and I decided to get rid of the internet at our house. $40 a month for the internet we didn't use that much since we both had unlimited access at work. Then about a month ago I quit my job where I blogged at! *gasp* Hence the lack of blogging. My other job allows me to check things on the internet, but not write a nice long ramble. *sigh*
Maybe we'll rethink having the internet at home.
So you're probably wondering where I'm blogging from then. And thus leads me to part two:

Life Without Everything For 7-10 Days
The midwest has been hit by ice. The only time I can remember school being closed as a child was when we had an ice storm and there was no power. Well we're there again. Early Tuesday morning we woke up with no power. But don't worry David jumped right out of bed and started a fire. Shortly after that the power came back on. *smile* But my work was closed and my little sister's school was cancelled, so I was babysitting her when once again our power went out. *frown* We left for my mom's house. Later that afternoon we came back home and it was back on! *celebrate* Around 10:00 that night we heard a large BOOM and all the lights went out, and the heat... So we threw an extra quilt on the bed and called it a night thinking by morning it'd be back on. No such luck. So I called Westar and they informed me (by an automated system whom I'm told is usually pretty accurate to the hour) that our power was schelduled to be back on in SEVEN TO TEN DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh no.
Sooo my aunt was nice enough to let us stay in her guest room until our apartment has heat again and the temperature rises above the 40 or so degrees it is in there right now.
Yep.
That's all.
