New Hampshire has been hit by a major ice storm. This picture is actually compliments of my friend Jean, who lives in NY, but since this storm looks just about the same everywhere, it’ll do. Since we have no TV reception anymore/no cable, we don’t know how much this has been on the news, but apparently, over half of New Hampshire lost electric power, which tops the numbers for any previous ice storm, including the one in 1998. Many people are without power still, and have been told it will be at least Thursday before they may see it return. We only lost power for a moment, which was such a great blessing, since we have been doing loads and loads of puke laundry for the last week, which brings me to my next elegant report.
2) Yes, we have been HIT by the Puke Bug. Some of us are pukers, some are not. Take Jesse for instance: he is a little puker and can even puke on TWO beds, EIGHT stuffed animals, and ONE sleeping brother, in ONE fell swoop. We are amazed by his hurl abilities, and will start to call him His Hurlness. Benjamin prefers to make it a dinnertime affair, and all I can say is that I was thankful I’d pulled out sturdy paper plates (the “deep dish” type with a rim!), to use that day, and thankful that he can aim… Jubilee was hit the worst and the first, but being the girl that she is, she handled herself much more gracefully than the boys. Others of us have not puked (yet) but this does not mean we have escaped “ramifications” of the Puke Bug. I just figured I have grossed you out enough already.
3) We are going to make an attempt to change the template of this blog. Last year we apparently picked the Word Press template with the most peculiar problems, as even our best tech-savvy friends are stumped. Nothing earth-shattering, but we have to manually enter code to make a paragraph, and stuff like that. We don’t really like the appearance of the template anyway. To change things, if we even can, we have to then go back and edit, or reenter, every post for the last year. This template will not just transfer all our info just right to another template. So this may take some time, unless I am much more fortunate than I believe myself to be in this situation. So bear with us if for the next week, our site appears even more unfortunate than it already does!
