Blackout!


Last night, after returning from my Zumba class and grocery shopping, I decided to treat myself to a refreshing mud-mask. ( Refer to picture above)
After applying the mud, I just knew that I should light some candles because the power was going to go out. So I shuffled through the cupboard with all of our miscellaneous items and found some candles to light. When Josh got home he thought I was trying to be romantic, but I assured him that the power was going to go out.
About ten minutes after our conversation, all the lights went out followed by an explosion outside. We went to our window to notice that the condo' complex next to ours still had their power... looks like my premonition came in handy.
So before we knew it, our little neighborhood was gathered in the center of the complex with fears and flashlights. A girl walked up to me and asked, "What is wrong with your face?"
I had completely forgotten I had the mask on! It could have been a scene out of a 1950's horror film. Power out, Girl with Mud Mask, dun dun dun!
Needless to say, our power came back on around 1:00 A.M awaking us from our sleep as all the lights went on in our room!
What a night!!

There was no wind and no rain.
