the night the lights went out in charlotte

last night i went to rafferty’s for dinner. which was ok- they had a pretty limited menu. and their salad selection was lacking. i went with kim & rose & rose’s 1 year old baby charlie. soo cute and such a good baby. i used to work with kim and rose when i worked for hannaford. now kim and i both work for the same company. it’s nice to get together with them because they’re on the same page as me when it comes to where we all are with our lives. (see rant from the other day) while we were there a huge thunderstorm hit. the south is famous for it’s thunderstorms. big, scary, but gone in no time. it lasted about an hour and the power even went out for about 10 minutes. that was weird. i don’t think i’ve ever been in a restaurant before during a power outage. i’ve been in a grocery store during a power outage, and that’s not too bad- they have lots of emergency lighting. but it got pretty dark in this restaurant. you know how restaurants are all about cozy nooks & crannies anyway. they only had a couple of back up lights. charlie didn’t freak out at all which was good. everyone clapped when the power came back on. i’d be interested to know the most interesting place you’ve ever been when the power went out….
