Alright, I understand roads need to be fixed and sewer work needs to be done but for the love of god does it all have to happen at once? Every street and I mean every street in an 8 block radius is reduced to one lane or closed all together down here by my office. It’s almost impossible to get here or god forbid if you have to leave to run an errand. You have to drive 20 minutes out of your way to get anywhere or back here from wherever it was you had to go. If you think I’m joking check it out yourself at:

I can’t wait until it’s all over and let me tell you it better be worth it. ARGHHH

Looking for Sherlock Holmes....

So does anyone know a good detective? There are a couple people who I don’t really know anything about that I would like to find more information on. What I do know is only hear-say. I have searched every website known to man on how to find someone but when you don’t know much about them it’s a bit hard. I know you probably have no idea what I am talking about but if you would like to help me or have tons of spare time to spend doing my dirty work, heck just ask and I’d be glad to let you know what I’m up to.

I've been tagged...

Ok, so here's the scoop. I've been tagged and need to come up with 10 semi interesting facts about me. This was not easy...you'd think I'd know me better than anyone but I guess I don't at any event, I tried. Here is my 10 and if you are reading this...you're it!

1. When I was a kid I wanted to be a Solid Gold Dancer.

2. I think ghosts/spirits/orbs are very interesting and I do believe in them.

3. I am almost sure I died in a previous life on a ship by drowning.

4. I think Milton Hershey was one of the most brilliant men ever…and not because he made Chocolate. If you’ve ever read about him or watched his Biography you’ll understand.

5. If I had money- I always thought it would be fun to get in the car and drive cross country to L.A. with no plan.

6. People who clip their nails or file them gross me out. I can do my own or my kids but to watch or hear other people makes me want to gag.

7. I love to put crunchy Cheeto’s in my beefaroni. That’s the only way to eat it.

8. I am a medical freak of nature…I have 3 kidneys. One that works fine, one that works 30% and one that doesn’t work at all.

9. I always wish I would have lived in the 1800’s-the Little House on the Prairie days. Simple life, hard working, family & church were very important.

10. I can’t remember what I did 20 minutes ago but I am a total 80’s fanatic. Song, Movies, Shows…Trivia is my specialty.

Rockin' into the night...

Last night was big date night. It was fun although at first I was a bit aprehensive. Dan had bought us tickets to go see a concert at the Palace and I was skeptical because the individuals who were going to be there performing weren't necessarily someone I would have picked but I went being a good sport and it turned out that it was awesome, besides all the construction and orange barrels from here to there and traffic delays we ended being a few minutes early and first up was .38 Special they were great and wow can they sing sounded better than what you hear on the radio so I was very pleased with that. Next up was Hank Williams, Jr. I have already seen him in concert and thought he was ok he did perform one song called Elijah were he played the fiddle and he rocked that when he got ready to play his last song of the night he had a special guest and once his face flashed on the big screen the crowd went WILD...it was none other than Detroit's own Kid Rock....that was worth the money right there.... Last performer of the night was Lynard Skynard they did their classics and for their encore they did Freebird and that was well worth the money too. To hear Freebird live gives you goose bumps and almost brought tears to my eyes. I know, I'm a sap. All in all it was good. I don't think I'll be able to hear though for a few more days....pretty loud.

Blogging Huh?

Well I'm going to give it a shot. I have lots of stuff I'd like to chat about or just to get off my chest and share. I finally decided to come over to the blogside. More to come.
