We just had an ice storm that crippled the Puget Sound area. When I say crippled, I mean a full body cast. I actually worked the day after most of the area lost power and you can really see the panic that people have when they have no control over the situation. Our store was running on generator power and we're throwing away thousands of dollars of food. So people are walking in the store, mind you the day after the power went out, asking for batteries, propane, flashlights and wood. These people expect us to do something, anything to help them. When you can't do anything, people have varying reactions. Most of them involved a sad look and a statement that reiterated that no one else has any of the things they need either. I've dealt with no power before, but I've never dealt with it when I've had a child. I think I would be pretty depressed too.
Some people said that we didn't put enough Christmas pictures up on the ole blog. OK, did I see any Christmas pictures on YOUR blog? I didn't think so! Anyway, I'm a nice guy and I can be bought. Send me money and I'll continue to put up Christmas pictures. Until I receive the money, I'll consider these pictures this a loan. Here's the pictures from Christmas #Dos:
V: Oooooh! Look at the pretty paper!
V: They make dolls out of paper AND magnets?! That is DA COOLEST!
V: A bag? You're kidding me, right? I've got to have something to tear.
V: Mimi hooks me up with the coolest pajamas.
V: What? All the presents are gone?
V: 364 Days until next Christmas!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
