SANDY...

My birthday cake! Freakin' delicious tiramisu cake

Well Sandy totally exceeded my expectations, I didn't think it was going to be that bad, jeesh! She totally ruined my Halloween, my birthday, and my family and I were left with no electricity for 4 days...lemme tell ya, no electricity for 4 days when the temperature is dropping drives you insane! Luckily for my family and I, we had a fireplace and had the privilege to warm ourselves before we went to bed. My heart really goes out to those with no electricity still, that totally blows. Though I'm pretty sure we will be out of electricity again around Wednesday because apparently another storm is coming and bringing some snow along with it. Isn't that just perfect :-)!!!  -_-

I never thought in a million years I would be going around my neighborhood to look for an outlet to charge my phone and during my hunt I ran into my bestie lol together we were so desperate to find an outlet we told I think at least 2 restaurants that we would buy food if they let us charge our phones hahaha ridiculous!

My birthday, which was the day after Halloween, wasn't a total fail; it was the same day I was on the hunt for some electricity and my friend and I  decided it would just be best to charge our phones at the local bar we always go to since we're cool with the bartender. That night was loco! I was so happy an old co-worker of mine was able to show up, together we were all lit, particularly me because I was not consistent at all with my drinks; I had a glass of pinot grigio, a white russian, flaming dr. pepper, then a shot of 151 with pineapple juice (delish!).

Ironically this whole hurricane experience embodies the title of my blog because there are obstacles in life that can't be prevented and to get through them you just have to make the best of it. Even though our lights were out, at least we had hot water and gas, there are some families whose homes are completely ruined which is why I wasn't so bummed about my situation.
