Oh My Gosh...

I'm in the process of renovating my bathroom (we gutted it the day before the storm and have been living with a hole in the floor and the ceiling...nice) and while I can't quite afford this, a girl CAN dream. Stone Bathtub from WS Bath Collections.

And on the 9th day...

there was still no power. Another cold front is moving through and it's now a balmy 23 degrees outside. I sometimes wonder if the rest of these United States has any idea how big of a disaster this is. The only media I have access to is the internet and it sure doesn't seem like Obama has said much. And I definitely haven't seen the likes of Fox News or Keith Olberman running around. Is this on the TV? I'm just curious.
