When you are in the middle of of a story … and POOF … you are in the dark, due to power going out … Reason for no post last night …
Candles are flickering … In a dark room … Husband looks at you … with a confused look on his face … What? Doesn’t everyone decide to organize their pantry at 3am when power is out and they can’t sleep?
Happiness is finding a couple books that you have been wanting … More Happiness is when you had store credit to use, making them free …. Plus more Happiness when you returned home to the power being on and the house feeling cool again.

You should get a generator attached to a bicycle so you can keep the power on and maybe power the neighbor’s house too.

I’ll bet you were writing a mystery.
Were you really organizing the pantry, or sneaking snacks when you thought nobody could see you?
I’m glad you’ve discovered the secret to happiness. Maybe next time you’ll pay your electric bill on time.

I was organizing, smartie, and it looked very nice in the daylight. Now will see how long it stays that way!
“Funnny!” We paid our electric bill.😛

Good that you finally paid your electric bill. But I guess now poor Brad is wondering how he’s going to pay your credit card bill.

Thanks so much Carol for thinking of me, but sorry, going to have to pass. Its hard enough for me to not get myself confused with my own characters. If I try doing another story, who knows what. Characters may appear in my stores! LOL!

I organized our pantry yesterday . . . by the light of day, not candlelight. It’s a good way to see what’s what and get some meal ideas.

Thanks Nancy, I do recommend that you do it in the daylight vs by candlelight, but hey, I felt good about it when seeing it in the daylight. 😉

Oh, how I wish to have a pantry! Sorry you lost your power at home, but I applaud your decision to go shopping in an air-conditioned store in the meantime! And free books are my lifeline! That’s why I love my Kindle!

Ooh yes, Kindles are great!! So many free and cheap books you can get on them. I miss mine!! But I will replace it and have fun filling it up. 😉

Filling up a Kindle is so easy! I can’t seem to get my total books for my Kindle down under the 500 mark, even though I read somewhere between 12 and 19 books a month on average (I ended up at 89 read so far this year as of July 1st!). My bestie has been giving me books from her tangible TBR pile lately, and I try to get them read and into the hands of the library for their semi-annual book sale. Oh, it’s a tough job to have so many books waiting to be read, but hey, somebody’s gotta do it!
