Why I Havent Been Online.
Posted: 01-17-07 18:59pm

Hey guys, I just wanted to let you all know I haven't been online because we had a really bad ice storm and it knocked our electric out so we haven't had any electric, phone or anything like that for almost a week. I'm not sure when we'll have it back either, probably within the next few weeks! Were at a hotel right now and i'm on my laptop!

I miss you guys, if you need me you know my myspace, send me a msg or something.

I love you guys and i'll miss ya!!!


Dalicia

btw, brayden is doing really good, he's walking.

That really sucks. We had an ice storm but only lost power for a couple hours. Do you know how much longer until things are sorted out?

That's exciting about brayden! Smart little guy!

He's been walking for a few days now, he's not very good at it yet but he's improving. He is getting so freakin big its insane.

I have no idea when we'll get power back on it's been out for a week already, our power and cable and etc line is actually pulled out of our house and is laying on the ground. I am so pissed at the electric people because everyone else has electric but my house and 3 others. My landlord even called tyhem and cussed them out because it's like uhhh hello! I have a doing it child and there's no heat or anything.

So we've basically just been living in this hotel for the past week or so. Very expensive might I say hahaha.

It sucks too because it's hard to get a good connection so most of the time I can't use my laptop to get online. And even when I get electricity and etc my comp at home still won't even work because the thing is messed up outside and there is a huge waiting list.

=( I can't wait to get home in my own comfy bed!

Sorry if I don't reply much guys! I'm sure you'll understand.

That sucks, .D. Are you having to pay for the hotel out of pocket, or is someone covering that? Like renter's insurance or something? (dunno if it would even cover that, but maybe?) .I can imagine how expensive that would be.

That's awesome about .Brayden. How old is he now, 10 months or so? That's pretty early! Shocked

Out of my pocket!! It's 55 dollars a night here which isn't that bad...But still I shouldnt be having to pay for this.

And yeah brayden is 10 months old, but we though he would walk early anyways because I started walking at 9 months.

I heard about the ice storms up north and it suuuucks.Thats one reason i'm glad i'm in .F.L. I think i've been in *one* ice storm,when I was very young and that it. Well I hope you get to go home soon.It's sh*tty that you have to stay in a hotel *and* pay for it!

i have and the lady says our problem is very easy to fix but its our neighbors that are also out but they have a more serious problem that requires someone climbing the pole next to our houses, and instead of coming out and just fixing the easy problem we have, the lady says whenever an experienced guy is available is when we'll have someone to fix it. If any of that made sense lol. And that they want to fix both of our problems all at once.

What happend with our electric, cable, phone etc is that a tree got hung up on the wires from all the ice and the tree starting shifting a different way from all the ice and when it finally broke it pulled the whole box of wires out from the house!

I'm starting to get so mad though...... Evil or
Very Mad
