I just talked to Beebs. Not only was she excited when her land-line phone rang, but her electricity came on at 5 p.m. today. She doesn't yet have internet access, as that's hooked up with the cable, which may take a bit longer. Everything, she said, seems to be getting a little bit better ever day. (She already tried to use her laptop with dial-up, but it wouldn't cooperate.)

Yesterday, she gave herself a pedicure. Today, she is excited at the prospect of reading a book in bed by the illumination of a genuine light bulb.

That's great that she's getting back one thing each day. All at once is sensory overload.

The simple things in life are becoming simple again.

Hooray!

That's all fine and dandy but what color did she paint her toes?

Hurricane blue? Electrical storm silver? Romantic candlelight gold?

Boring, simple, drab pink!
Phones and internet work at work. Email doesn't. Now our home land lines are down.

Whatever. I feel the urge to post stuff...

Ah, well, if it all worked at once, you'd start to take last-century innovations for granted.

It's nice to see your dunecat face back on the bored. I've been saving up my melange in case Houston had a shortage.

Not to worry. I'm talking about fun hurricane-related stuff.

Thanks for the necessary info! Pink is fabu, doncha know?

The next time you feel the need to pedicure, the color " LOUVRE ME LOUVRE ME NOT" by OPI is really pretty. I am sporting it on my tootsies right now.

After Katrina, when we had no power, I felt the need to beautify myself. I painted the girls fingers and toes along with my own. I know, I'm vain.

Back in 1989 the must have hurricane recovery survival item was a butane curling iron.
