I wish we had gas

So I haven't written any updates in a while. I guess I figured I'd have to wait for more "big" news. Well, that's not happening. But I do have little news.

Last night we got home from spending Thanksgiving in Rexburg, and we realized very quickly that our apartment was an ice cube. So we check the furnace, and yep, no gas. Our gas had been turned off for at least 4 days. I went to the city offices to get our utilities taken care of, and I thought gas was included. Woops. I forgot to call Questar for gas. But doesn't Questar sound like internet? Pretty sure that's why I hadn't called them. Anyway, we were like, oh heeeeeeck no...so we went to buy a space heater. On a Sunday...oh well. Soon after we got it set up we noticed the heater sucked. You could hardly feel any heat. We got into thermals (so attractive) and layered all the blankets we had onto our air mattress. Then AJ had the genius idea to get out a heating pad we have. I think it saved us. We were fine sleeping, but this morning we walked out into the hall and cold air just smacked us. It was awful. And let me just say, this is one of those times when you wish you could pee standing up. Holy frozen toilet seat! Obviously, no showers for us, and I even had to heat up water on the stove just to wash my face. So sad.

I called Questar today and after acquiring very personal information they told me a guy could be out TOMORROW. And what does he do? Takes some lock off of the gas. That's it, and they're making us wait. So AJ has a new friend at work that's going to let us shower at his place tonight. Thanks, Jason.

On a lighter note, I'm really excited for the Christmas tree AJ is going to make me...er...us. I'm going to have the coolest looking steel tree with candle holders, and it will be one-of-a-kind. And awesome.

Also, I walked into a health store to see what I could grab for lunch, and I found Pirate's Booty. Aaahhh!!! (Angel's singing) I've eaten almost the whole bag and now I'm a little ashamed. But it's so good! Those of you on the Master of Your Domain challenge may want to check it out to see if it's healthy enough.

Well, that's all for now. Better get back to work.
