Do you see the temperature on my thermostat? 83 degrees!!! Do you know what that feels like when you add humidity!!!!! In-my-house. But, for the love of all things holy...the power came on this morning at 10:30 am. I fell to the ground and praised Jesus.Last night I decided to take the electricity matters to a higher level. I prayed to Allah, Buddha, I prayed facing east, lit some incense and then a few candles with saints on the front. I figured that gave me good coverage. And presto chang-o, look what happened. Lights. Air conditioning. A refrigerator. A washing machine.
I have decided that I am having t-shirts made for everyone who lives in the greater Houston area. Each person will be required to print on their shirt how many days they went without power--or if you skipped town like a wuss. My shirt would read 10 days with a serious amount of !!!!!! And then I'm going to wear my shirt to Costco. If I see anyone that has a shirt on that reads, "2 days" or "8 hours", I think I just might have to stab them and shove them in my car. Then they are going to have to sit in there WITHOUT air conditioning for 8 more days. Its a good plan. I bet my neighbors will help me.
In a place like Houston, where it can get insanely hot, your electricity bill can also look insane ($250 is really good). But after these last 10 days, I'll never complain about our bill again...but, I am having shirts made.

I will wear one here for you. Maybe we could start a fund to help to afford the cost of air-conditioning. Like... houstonfostersneedairtoo.com. I like it.
I only went 96 hours without (well more if you count the 5 hours it was out on Fri before the storm even hit) and it was during the cool spell... I didn't really complain though so you should only stab me once or twice. My brother is still without.
I went to Costco on Saturday and everyone there was really grumpy and rude.
I will buy a shirt, to support the cause.
What I want to know is who were the crazies that first settled in Houston before electricity and air conditioning? That's just not natural!
So your saying if I want miracles, pray to all known gods. You just solved life's greatest mystery. I better start praying to get my test cancelled tomorrow! jk Glad to see you all survived in Foster fashion.
