Ice Storm ‘09
February 10, 2009
The Commonwealth of Kentucky was hit hard on January 27. The Ice Storm of ‘09 caused over 1 million houses to lose power. Over 700,000 homes in Kentucky had no power, including my home. We had no power for 95 hours. We spent most of our days at EKU, however we still braved the cold temperatures (mid 30s) in the house at night. We tried to make the best out of the situation. We will never take electricity for granted again. It was real eerie hearing the tree limbs snapping constantly throughout the night. “The Campus Beautiful” looked like it was attacked. Transformers were going out, looking like bombs going off. All the trees on campus had some type of damage.
Mom jeans
February 8, 2009
So, I just recently heard of this expression, “mom jeans.” This has all come to light because of Jessica Simpson sporting her mom jeans a few weeks ago. See image below.
The origin of the term came from this SNL commercial.
Then my good friends showed me this outstanding mom jeans music video.
And I guess all this hits home because this is what my mom used to wear too! Good stuff.
