RN, saw that some of my fellow Texas' Gals also had snow. We had about 3 or 4 inches and WOW it was just beautiful...UNTIL...

Saturday night right befofe 9:00 pm our power went out (our house is all electric). Called the so-called service center to report outage...I'm convinced that TXU (my power company) is now outsourcing their call centers. But got it reported.

About 2 hrs later called back, because "Chris" with a very heavy accent, could not give me a time that power guys would be out. I've never had this problem in the past. Called back, again got the recording that my outage had been reported, but if I wanted a "time-frame", please enter my confirmation #. I was not given one by "Chris". So had to wait for Cust Serv Rep. I was on hold for 1 hour! And my blood pressure was rising.

Finally got "Chris" again and asked for a confirmation # so I wouldn't have this problem again. She asked me to "hold" - AAGHHHHHH! - then said she wasn't able to give me one but gave me her employee ID# instead. During this time her accent was getting stronger. I had to repeat my house address 4 time before she understood 3 simple numbers - AGHHHHHHA!

DH and I finally got to sleep as few hours (we did have the fire place going for heat). Called back at 7:00 am and got "Nancy" with an even stronger accent! She said power should be restored by midnight Sunday night!

OK, we pack up and go to my mom in laws 30 miles away, went out to eat and back to her house to watch Tiger play. Tried to nap, but just too wound up and couldn't relax at her home.

Early afternoon called our nearest neighbor from mil's house. No power yet, but neighbor started telling me about his experience with service center. Neighbor, word for word, explained exactly what I had gone through with Cust Serv, even down to not being able to get a confirmation number! I felt a bit better that it wasn't just me having bad luck. Called back around 3:00 pm and power had just come back on. Fallen tree limbs on power lines. We had already figured that out.

So from 9:oo pm Sat until around 3:00 pm Sunday, we had no power. But it sure was good to get home and crank up that heating!

TXU was an extremely reliable power company for many, many years and always got good and fast service. Well those days are over I think.

Then I watch the news tonight and about 20,000 or so residents were in the same situation as me. I know, it was a holiday, but this snow and sleet was forcased for at least 3 days.

Neighbor and I think that they waited until Sunday to even investigate the problem was due to the holiday. The repairmen get something like 3 times over-time!

We did have lots of tree limbs down, but none on power lines, just decorating out property! LOL

RN, so sorry for this long and confusing rant and I guess should have gone in the Gripe Thread, but I was here catching up and tipty-tap go my fingers.

RN, things are better and warm weather is on the way!

There really was about twice as much crapola that went on with the "Service Center Call" but dh said to just calm down. He's too laid back sometimes!

RN, cutiest bunnies I've every seen!

Hope everyone had a better Easter that I did.

Also forgot to mention...when power went out I desperately needed to wash my hair. Had enough hot water, but couldn't use a blow dryer with a power outage. And too cold to let air dry..so had to take a shower & shampoo at mother in laws. She has extremely hard water!

RN, I think tomorrow I'll take a long bubble bath!

RN, I told you there was more that went on. DH took me out for breakfast, dirty hair & body, UGH. At least I didn't run into anyone I knew!

Right now I don't even know who those action figures are

Right now I'm wondering if Mamie doesn't have a local coffee shop that makes yummy coffee besides that chain.

Right now, Grace, there probably are quite a few but we've gotten used to the one we go to and the people there are great.

RN: Has anyone else ever had that happen? Or is it a lost cause? Do you think he's gone for good? A week is a long time. We don't live near any busy streets or anything...

RN: Escapee I hope for the best but having had many a cat in the day and living out in nowhereville... i can say if they are gone that long it might be a bad thing. unless it's a girl and she was having kittens. Other than that more than a week I don't remember any of our cats coming home.
