Just Teasing

While my niece was deployed my mom was watching her one dog Lucy who is part greyhound and Angela had left her things lying on the table to go do something.
When Angela got back I heard her say, "What happened to my pencil?"

To which I jokingly replied, "Lucy probably has it." Sure enough Lucy was happily chomping away on the pencil!

My Car's a Magnet!

My car has been in a total of 7 (yes, I said 7) accidents since I have owned it!

1. Someone (never found out who did it) hit my car while parked on the parking lot of the apartments that I lived in.

2. My car was hit on the Cingular (now AT&T) parking lot (the people came into the store & told me they hit it).

3. A lady (who didn't have a very nice personality) said I hit her.

4. A lady rear-ended me (Angela & Andru were with me on this one) while I was at a complete stop on an exit ramp.

5. A guy on a motorbike crashed into my car (while I was getting ready to back into my parents driveway & saw him coming, so I just stayed stopped in the street).

6. A teenager was speeding down my parents street & hit two other vehicles before finally crashing into a utility pole by my parents house & the wood that splintered from the utility pole hit my car.

7. A guy rear-ended my car (just me this time) while I was at a complete stop on an exit ramp (the same exit ramp that I was on when the lady hit my car).

Not to mention the numerous close calls it's had. Like the two it was almost in yesterday. In the morning a vehicle came speeding off a side street without stopping (luckily I hit my brakes in enough time) & in the afternoon a vehicle that was in the lane beside me cut in front of me to turn onto my street.

Ten to go!

I haven't really been keeping up on my weight blog, but I have been keeping records. I will update it later.

The other day I was looking at the weight record I tried to keep since the beginning of 1997.

I noticed that I only have ten more pounds to lose before I can reach the weight I was before I became pregnant with Angela.

Poor Guy

Yesterday I went to Aldi's and I asked the cashier if they had biscuit gravy and his reply was, "What's that?"

I told him it was white gravy that you put on top of biscuits.

He said, "I guess since I don't know what that is, I guess we don't have it."

I guess this guy leads a very sheltered life since he doesn't know what biscuit gravy is!

Update

I closed on my house on May 13 and was moved in by the last weekend in June.

I have some really awesome neighbors! One fixed a couple of boards in my privacy fence after my nieces dog, Jack, broke through it and another took all the weeds of my Marigold flower bed.

On August 30th I went to the Overland Fair and won a storage shed for my new home.

When school first started there were three days my stomach was really messing up on me and I could only eat saltine crackers and drink only water (I was told later that I probably had the Swine Flu).

From October 6th until about October 12th Angela gave me one of the virusses (not Swine Flu) going around. Hers started on the 4th and ended on the 10th.

On October 13th I was in a small rear-end collision accident. I went to DePaul Hospital in an Ambulance because my lower neck and lower back were hurting. Nothing was broken, but I was having muscle spasms and they wanted me to stay home one day to see how I reacted to the medication they prescripted. It was a good thing too because the muscle relaxant really knocked me out.

I will be posting more later.
