OMG. No power since Thursday afternoon. No lights. No phones. No Internet. All the food in the fridge went bad.

But I don't care. We've got the power! The A/C is set on 60.

1. got ours this morning

at 11:46am, it went out at about 8:20 on Thursday night, and I was finally able to take a shower! (due to the water problems here in Fairfax County, but they said it was ok to bathe again). Haven't had one since Thursday, just before it hit. Lol

I heard that in the past there was an increase in babies born about 9 months after big power outages.
