This weekend wasn't exactly the greatest weekend, even if it was three days long. The reason behind this is because there was an alien abduction problem. Hah, no, I'm just kidding, it was just a blizzard, or more specifically, Blizzard Nemo.

We lost power late Friday night, after lots of wind and snow/rain. When I woke up, it was FREEZING in my house. I later learned that it was around 40 degrees inside the house, due to the heat being cut off. We had a generator, but it kept shutting off, so we eventually just gave up and went to my grandmother's house because she had heat and power. My dad didn't come along for some reason, but I guess it was for the better, because we didn't really want to leave the pets home alone. So it was just my brother, sister, mom and I there. Since we didn't want to go back home and sleep in the freezing cold, we just slept over her house.
The next day, after the storm blew over, we decided to go sledding with my little cousins. It actually ended up being really fun, despite the fact that my cousins are BEYOND annoying. When we were done, they invited us to their house to watch a movie, and we went back to our house to change, because trust me, nobody wants to be watching a movie, or doing anything, in wet snowy clothes. Although, when we got home, the power came back on! We also found out the fish died due to the cold, so my sister got all upset about that. I stayed home for the rest of the weekend, not wanting to have to deal with the snow any longer.
This weekend wasn't the greatest, and I found out how much I depend on technology unless I want to be bored.
