Yes, wash all dishes while the power is still on. :old

i did all the dishes three times yesterday... i'd left them go from the day before and then Mom made chocolate pies and then later again.

i had to check out the dark chocolate to make sure it was ok before Mom used it in the pies. good thing i did as we had one old bar (they were all leftovers from a friend who wasn't going to use them) that was very soapy. what people don't understand about plastic and chocolate and how to store them is that if you have laundry detergent, smells, scents in the house they will end up sticking to the plastic and if the chocolate isn't wrapped well enough it will taste like soap, etc. so we had to toss almost a lb of dark chocolate. it was gross... :(

the pies turned out good though as usual. :) and so from all that extra caffiene i was hyped for half the night. :) very productive... :) got up and put the trash out this morning. brrr! and then went back sleep for most of the morning. looks pretty viscious out there today. windy, squally, coldy...

WOAH!!! Our phones went off that we were going to have an earthquake. Sure enough, about 10 - 15 seconds later, our coach started rocking! The 5.1 quake was in Indio, CA, about an hour west of us!!
Holy Cow! That's crazy! Hope no major damage!

Geesh...some of you have some freakish weather.

I complain about cold, rarely do we get below teens -- which I consider unacceptably cold. Warm is my contentment

Chores done, the day plugs on! Sunshine is uplifting, even if it's cold.
