Showering in the Dark Sucks!

Last Friday was my first morning back in 'Boro. I was woken up after having a whopping 4 hours of sleep at 7:30 am to my parents getting ready for work and the following...
Mom: "*Expletive* what the hell happened to the electric?"
Dad: "What the %&#@ did you do?
Mom: "I was drying my hair and i think I tripped a breaker."
I then hear my Dad stomp downstairs and into the basement to flip the breaker back on, only it won't turn on. My Mom had really $&#&*^@ something up. After all the commotion was over and Chief had made up his mind on where he was going to sleep, I fell back asleep. Of course when I woke up later at noon, i had quasi forgotten about what happened earlier that morning. I walk in the bathroom to take a shower, and attempt to flip on the light...nothing. So I took a shower by flashlight. The breaker that was tripped didn't affect my room or the office, but my parent's room, their bathroom, my brother and I's bathroom and my brother's room. Pretty much the whole front of the upstairs.

My Dad went to work that day and called the the electric company that MVG uses because well, they like to suck up to my Dad and will most likely do the work for free. But they couldn't come until Monday (today). So after my day of partying yesterday and consuming a decent amount of alcohol, and getting home at 2am, I had to get my happy little butt out of bed at 7:30 this morning for the electric dudes to come at 8am. Suck. They got here at 9:30 and flipped a switch, they were here a half hour, max. What did I learn from the weekend of showering in the dark?

1. Shaving in the dark is no fun. I wouldn't recommend it
2. It's a good idea to remember where you set things down in the shower. Shampoo goes on before conditioner. My hair was super clean yesterday.
"Shampoo is better, I go on first and clean the hair." "No! Conditioner is better, I make the hair silky and smooth..."
3. Look before you step. When getting out of the shower, make sure there is a rug where you expect it to be and not tile...
4. If the outlet is connected to a ^#&@^ up breaker, it won't work and neither will the hair dryer or curling iron. In that case, I had to walk my lazy Booty downstairs to dry my hair and curl it.
5. Toothpaste goes on the bristly part of the toothbrush, and not straight into the sink, it tends to work better that way.

Now that this weekend of fun and inconvenience is over, I'm planning on sitting on my butt the rest of this week and the next 2 weeks because I can. LET THERE BE LIGHT!!!
