next_to_normalWell, I am back in the 21st century! As are my parents, actually, since they finally got their electricity back on Sunday night after I'd left. I guess it's kind of fortunate that the hurricane happened in October because, as my mom pointed out, "If the mayor wants to get reelected, he'll get the power back on before Tuesday!" And lo and behold, it worked.
Speaking of which - obviously, if you are American, go vote! Do it now. I'll wait.
*Jeopardy music*
Done? Good.
Anyway, as much fun as it was walking around the house with giant scented jar candles (my mom dug out as many as she could find, so it was like seasons colliding as honeydew melon, lavender, cinnamon, and Christmas cookie all mingled together) and making toast by holding slices of bread over an open flame, I am glad that my Laura Ingalls interlude was brief. Moving day was... unpleasant, as expected, but we all survived, so there's that. Also, my grandmother apparently told my mother that I am "growing up to be so beautiful," which - setting aside the fact that I haven't "grown" in over a decade - is a nice change from the usual "Have you gained weight?" and "Why don't you have a boyfriend?" comments that I usually get. \o/ I guess moving makes her sentimental? She was crying an awful lot...
Otherwise, there is not much happening with me. I do have recipes to post and picspams to finish. Best get on that. Anything exciting going on with y'all? I hear we're getting another nor'easter tomorrow (though this time without the bonus hurricane), so that should be fun.
...seriously, you haven't voted yet? What are you waiting for? DO IT!
