snowbound and without electricity

On Friday evening, after watching Paranormal Activity and having the crap scared out of me, the power went out. Perfect timing, right? We got snow on top of snow on top of snow, and about an inch of ice, so we pretty much knew we'd be without electricity. Chris got the generator and we barricaded ourselves in the bedroom with a space heater. There is only so much two people and a parrot can do in a bedroom, but we tried to make the most of it! Flojo played under the covers in a "birdie cave," Chris played imaginary instruments (a flute, a saxophone, a trumpet and a trombone) on my arm, and we took these pictures. See, we didn't go crazy!

How has your weekend been so far? I'll have a giveaway winner to announce tomorrow, so be sure to come back and find out if it's you!!!

And one more thing, it seems like a whole lot of people could relate to my drooling in my sleep info on fill in the blank friday, so here's something even better (or worse)... In my 9th grade science class, I kept talking too much and wouldn't be quiet, so my teacher moved me from the lab table with my partner to an individual desk beside his. Lucky for me, he stood in front of his desk to teach, so he couldn't see me. I took advantage of the location and decided to take a little nap until the end of class (because really, I didn't care about a lecture on clouds). A friend woke me up on his way out of the door, and when I tried to pick my head up, I picked the cover of my book up as well because I drooled and the book cover was stuck to my cheek! How's that for embarrassing?!? I was mortified then, now it's pretty funny.
