Monday Meme

When I first started blogging over 5 years ago, I did a lot of memes. I think most of them have disappeared from the blogosphere. The Monday Menu meme at OrgJunkie’s site is still alive, and very active, from what I can tell. I don’t know if I’ll get back to posting my menus online. It’s enough for me to just try to do them at this point. 😀

Last week, I ran across a revival of a meme that I used to do called the “Monday Morning Meme” over at one of my favorite bloggers site – Write from Karen. Karen posts 4 or 5 questions for bloggers to blog about on Mondays. This week, I’m going to be uber-selective and just pick one.

3. Thunderstorm arrives, power outage! How do you occupy your time?

Well, the first thing that comes to mind is that I would read. As I have blogged about recently, reading is harder for me than it used to be. I would probably try reading with my iPod on, or maybe working on a scrapbook page. Depending on the weather, I would probably try to sit outside and read a book or magazine. I know one thing for certain – I would call the power company ASAP to find out how long my power is going to be out! This has been such a hot summer that I wouldn’t want to be out long. Another thing I might do is play on my phone. I’ve been playing Words with Friends a lot lately, and having fun with that. I have several other games on my phone that I like to play. The only downside to that – I’d probably run my phone battery down and not be able to plug it back in and charge it back up!

How about you? Play along at your blog or leave me a message and let us know what you do when the power is out!

  1. Laura Said,

    If it’s raining, I would definitely be outside. 😉

  2. Suzanne Said,

    I would jump in my pool….

  3. Karen Said,

    If there was enough light, I would be reading a book or working on an embroidery project. If it was nice out, I might go for a walk.

  4. Deanna Said,

    I am with you. It has been so hot lately that I think the first thing I would be doing is praying that it wouldn’t stay out long. Usually when the lights go out we usually pull out the board games and just enjoy the time to play.

  5. Heidi @ ggip Said,

    I definitely would want my a/c back! We haven’t had any long power outages lately. During the day, we just try to read or do some craft, at night it is more tricky! I guess go to bed early!

    On our kindle there is a word game that is fun, but that wouldn’t last long.

  6. Lauren@BaseballsandBows Said,

    Ours doesn’t go out often, but it was out for 12 hours after a bad storm a few years ago. I was most worried about losing my food! Of course, in this heat, the A/C would be my primary concern. As for what would keep us busy, probably board games of some kind.

  7. mamichelle Said,

    Tough one. I’d have to hope that it’s light enough to read or make a card. I would definitely panic since we don’t have town water/sewer. We can’t even flush or get cold water to heat up. My laptop would keep me occupied for two hours though….
