What is it about the electricity going out...

I was sitting in front of my computer reading the yahoo entertainment news and finding out Mariska Hargitay's dad Mickey died and getting ready to look at more mindless stuff before getting ready for bed and all of a sudden bam- total darkness. I wonder if I am the only person who first thinks 'Did they shut off my electricity because I haven't paid?' I probably not the only person- but I hope that there are some respectable people that think it also. Anyway I have moved my furniture around and I haven't ever had to navigate in total darkness- and then I couldn't find my flashlight because I had moved it when the plumbers were here. Thank goodness for cell phones- I guided myself to the window to see the streetlights out. Then I got about setting up all the candles throughout my house and then I took a bath by candlelight- which I don't do enough- it is so soothing. I was all excited to go to bed fairly early (10:30 PM) and was starting to do a traditional journal entry when the lights came back on. So much for me fending for myself and getting some much needed sleep!

I debated a lot on whether I should go the legal or illegal way of obtaining music and finally went with getting Wal-Mart downloads for 88 cents. It makes me feel like I'm not a criminal and I get to get all the songs I really want rather than just downloading because it's there. Anyway I had to download all the popular hits now- like Crazy, Promiscuous, and Waiting on the World to Change, etc. And I did it with a regular Wal-Mart gift card and I have spent about $18.00 out of $25. Hopefully I won't get too addicted to it.

Just for shits and giggles I looked up some Sarah songs to listen to- (yes I'm strange and vain!) and I started to feel like I was high- my name just seemed so weird. Hearing it over and over again just made it lose all meaning.

Anyway I should be in bed sleeping-because I work early tomorrow- so goodnight sweet city of Sioux Falls
