now - i mean it. this ISN'T funny!

who did we piss off at the electric company? i'm serious. what did we do? we pay our bill. we don't complain about ourtragous prices. we don't even criticize over that whole dam break thing out at johnson shut ins last year...

this just isn't amusing anymore!!!

sitting in my living room around 4:30. minding my own business. watching the gilmore girls. i love the gilmore girls. and it's actually an episode i've never seen - which is about as rare as a 90210 episode that i haven't seen. it was the first one with sebastian bach. and sookie having her first baby. and the town doing living statues of works of art like the last supper with kirk as jesus...

sorry - i babbled...

anyway. so i'm watching gilmore girls. i start to order pizza. jeff goes in the bathroom to take his shower. it's raining out. a little thunder. nothing bad. no wind. not even raining super hard.

the power goes. right in the middle of my pizza order. then comes back. then goes. then comes back. then goes again. out for 20 minutes. wasting no time - i call ameren - they say it will be back on by 11 pm. yeah. it comes back. it threatens to go back out several times. jeff takes his shower. the pizza gets here. we start to eat. the power goes out again. out for another 45 or so minutes before coming back. we waited at least an hour before we started resetting clocks this time - just to make sure it was staying on...

ameren's webpage reports tree contact as the reason...

i just think someone there doesn't like me and is following me around and flipping major switches. i know it seems crazy - but how else do you explain a power outage in HANNIBAL??? and a week after we got our power back it went off for about 5 minutes in the middle of the night - totally randomly. so my theory can't be THAT far off. i mean - we've lost power 4 times in the last 3 weeks!!

and why don't they like me? i'm a fun girl?!?!?!?
