Well, we all survived Irene :) Actually, my family wasn't directly in the path, and we definitely did not get the worst of it.
We live in south eastern PA, about 50 minutes west of Philadelphia...Away from large waterways, but we do have many trees and winding waterways around here.
I drove through it, and to tell you the truth, it wasn't as bad as it could have been. It was pouring rain and large branches were everywhere. The wind was pretty intense too, and we had no power for 24 hours, but it still wasn't as bad as it could have been (i.e as bad as it was around waterways and coastal areas). In fact, by Sunday night, you couldn't even tell that there had been a hurricane (at least around my drive to and from work). *sigh*
Today I brought a printer, a belated anniversary present to Brian and me. We'd been talking about buying it together, but hadn't actually bought it. One day, ma showed me on HSN.com where they were selling a Kodak printer for $99, lots of features, and free shipping. We still talked about it, but didn't buy it....Then I saw that the price went up to $129, so it kind of fell by the wayside - until today when I went to Walmart for a dehumidifier (we weren't totally impermeable to the hurricane) and found the exact same printer on sale for $99. That's how much I paid for my old one a few years ago....SO, we are the proud new owners of a Kodak Office 2150 (we've been using the same printer I began using in college). lol. We had been using a HP F340, a printer I've had since beginning college (early 2000s) SO....There it is. What's even better, I hooked it all up, so it's all ready to surprise my husband (he wasn't able to print from his computer before..) I hope that he is happily surprised!
OK well....I think that the baby is sleeping now, so I am going to get ready for bed myself!
