Back home in the USSR!

Okay so not really...but I am finally back from all my travels!
Seattle was kickin' awesome! We tried to see Snow Patrol in concert but you had to be a resident of WA. OR, or ID to buy tickets! WTF? Oh well! We still ate like kings and lived like queens while we were there! We had some serious Mini golf happening...can you say 3 hole in 1's... oh yeah!

This is LT Emily(Cousin) and Claire(Cousin) oh and me...at the last hole in 1 on the 18th baby!!!

How do you like my ability at using my timer...?

We also ate 1 scrumptious lunch at Cutters on the water right down from Pike's Fish Market!

Hello my name is Crabby Abby and I think you should eat me! Sorry Pamela Anderson...this girl is gonna eat the crab!!!

We also got to eat the dessert voted Seattle's Best Chocolate dessert!

Does anyone else take pictures of their food? Please with a dessert like that I had to photo it so I could remember how Yummy it was!

We also went to my cousin Brians who lives on Lopez island...we had to take a Ferry to get there and he took us for a boat ride around all the San Juan islands and I could see Canada from his boat. It was sweet...we also got to ride his ATV around his property!

Ferry ride to the island!

LT and I also went to the SPACE NEEDLE and EMP(Experience Music Project!) The EMP is a kick ass music museum very hands on definitely a place you could get lost in! I highly recommend partaking in the EMP if you are going to visit Seattle!

This is the space needle in the background and the highly unusual EMP building in the front! The architect for this building was dong some serious LSD!

So to sum up the 1 st leg of my bicostal vacation...hole in 1...got crabs...met a ferry ...and got a needle in the EMP!

Good Times!

next Post East Cost Pimpin!

( I think it is funny how when I do Spell check...EMP comes up to change it to HEMP...HAHAHA I make my self tinkle!)

and Away I Go!

So Linda and I are off to Seattle...We will be back in on Monday. So then I work ALL day on Tuesday and go to NYC on Wednesday and don't get back until Saturday! Blogging will be light to nonexistent! Leave me some comments suckers and I will read them all when I get back!
Asta!

Hey did you notice I am Bi-Costal...What a Celebrity I am!

Na Na Na Na Na Na ....You say it's your...OH you know!

So today is my birthday! The crappy part is I have to work all day! I usually always take my birthday off of work but since I will be leaving for 10 day to go on 2 separate vacations tomorrow morning...I didn't think that would be a very good decision. I am wearing my 13 shirt in honor of my birthday today! It's the big 35! Half way to 70...over doubled 17...WOW it's a weird thing to look at your age and feel your age! I know at a certain point I am supposed to start acting my age but It hasn't happened yet! I do expect all my friends to start telling me if I become the scary older woman who thinks she is 19 and ends up on "What Not to Wear" with the scary Clinton and what's her name! Okay and I also can't believe I am up at 7am on my birthday too! But I had to get my hair done (The scary part is although I still do fun stuff with my hair...I HAVE TO color it now as the non pigmented ones keep growing in!!!) so the only time we could do it was this morning!

Happy Birthday to ME!

Vince, Jen, the Cubs & ME!

So even though it seems like forever ago I must let y'all know what I did on Memorial Day! A Concert? You ask...NO a Cubs game silly!

So Roxy, Linda, Matt & I got up way to early,...And started off on our journey...Well y'see Roxy was supposed to pick up M&L first but they over slept so she came and got me...Then we went back and got them...And then I remembered I forgot my sunglasses so we went back to my house...And then Linda remembered something she forgot her sunglasses so we went back to her house...Okay so now we are off! (R U lost yet?...No?...Good...You are smarter then the average blog reader!)
So we are driving ...driving...Driving. We get up to Chicago and get our parking spot. As we are walking up to Wrigley Field(Cue music and angel like halo lights!) we 1st go to the taco place for breakfast...Cause you can't go to a cubs game without eating the best damn tacos 1st! YUMMY!!!

TACOS!!!!

So once we were in line for the bleachers...We waited to get in and then RUN like the dickens to get the best damn seat we can. Since we weren't real close up in line we opted to vie for the left center last row! These are great seats because you get a back rest!
Roxy, Matt & Linda!

Now if you live in central Illinois you will remember how freakin' hot Memorial Day was. So know we are sitting in the sun for 2 hours to watch batting practice! Which is awesome! We also have spread our enough to not have to touch any skin on skin! It was to hot to be smooshed into each other! Roxy and I ate some sunflower seeds and decided to spit all the shells on the seats in front of us to see how long it would stay empty! Almost until game time until no other seats were left and then this guy came up and just wiped it off I with his hand! EEWWW! Unfortunately for his sake he then ended up with shells in his hair and down the back of his pants! Sorry dude!

Then right as the game was starting this couple walked up and asked up to scoot together so they could sit by us and Linda started to but Roxy and I were like NOOOOO! And the couple got kinda bitchy and I looked at them and said..." We showed up 2 hours before the game for these seats and you didn't" they were mad...too bad for them!

The Cubs played awesome and we had an kickin' time harassing Ken Griffey Jr. We keep heckleling him and he would look at our bleacher section and act like why are you picking on me and then he would point over to Adam Dunn so we all started yelling Dunn Dunn Dunn...and Ken was all happy and Adam looks over at him and is like Why would you sick them on me! It was really entertaining even if the story doesn't seem like it!

So then it came to the 7th inning stretch and Vince Vaughn sang it and he was awesome!!! He was there with Jen and they were in a sky box! He threw out the 1st pitch too!
Vince singing (look really hard up in the booth) HAHAHA

We ended up winning the game...and Todd Walker(Sigh) hit a home run and so did Matt Murton. Matt's homerun was right by us and later on we watched it on TIVO and we saw ourselves on TV!

We stopped at Cheddars in Boilingbrook and ate on the way home and then when we were almost to Roanoke Matt told Roxy he wasn't feeling good so she pulled over and he RALPHED on the side of the road and it was all foaming and he got some on her car...I was laughing so hard I thought I would pee my pants...and Roxy and Linda have bad gag reflexes so they were trying not to listen so they wouldn't throw up too! When he got back in the car he wiped his mouth with a napkin and threw it out the window and it got caught on the antenna so we were flying a vomit flag from the car!

So that was our trip to the Cubs game in a nut...er I mean sunflower seed shell!

Car Crash Scene Take 2

Okay so this is the other car...The one he DROVE AWAY in and left in an alley before fleeing on foot!
Jim (in Green ) is standing where the impact started and the jeep is on the left hand side of the picture where it stopped after bing rammed in the ass!

Our Grand Cherokee now looks like a jeep Liberty!

Here is the back view of the car...Notice the lovely door buckle on the side! We could only open 1 door to get our stuff cleaned out B4 they towed it!

...And the hits just keep on coming!

I have so many things to blog about that I can't find time to get them all in. Six flags trip, Memorial day Cubs game, nite out with my mom, Gavin concert, house party last night. But they are all getting trumped this morning for the kicker of all kicks in the ass stories!

So I was awakened at 7:20ish this morning, as I would never be out of bed at that time unless a serial killer was waking me...(oh or I was going to a cubs game or amusement park), by a huge car crash sound and an alarm going off. Sorry unable to give you much suspense but it was our Jeep that was parked in front of our house! Jim and I go flying out of bed and find our Grand Cherokee...Paid off in great condition would own it until we died Jeep Grand Cherokee...Smashed like no other in front of our house.
A KIA smashed so hard into the back it had to be going over 60 MPH on our little boulevard street! The driver drives the car away turns on a side street and into an alley and then starts running! Our neighbor was actually leaving for work and saw it all. She couldn't believe they were actually trying to drive away. Long story (even longer) short, it was a rental car. Woman in Dunlap had rented it and big surprise declined the coverage. The driver was not a woman but had the keys to the car. The driver had the actual keys to drive it. The detective is now going to figure out if the renter had given permission to the driver to drive it or if the keys were confiscated in any way. Sidebar...The renter (woman)...R U still with me...had placed some phone calls to the police station complaining about some harassing phone calls from an ex-friend who is a drug addict! Oh yeah it's good! I'll try to post some pics for all to enjoy!

Best BLT in Town!

So we went to my friend Roxy's house for a BBQ last Saturday night...It was her b-day! Then we thought it would be a good idea to go sing karaoke...Which in the morning we realized we must of screamed karaoke because we all had tore up throats.





Basketcase cracks me up when I am drunk. Lee Hall (from the news) was there signing and I took a pic of him and he looks like Will Ferrell. See below!


And crazy Mary at the bar...Always good for some entertainment! Then Roxy's friend Diane wanted to go dance so they were going to club Reign. So not my place to go but I wanted to make sure Roxy was getting home safe. Jim and I went but only stayed for about an hour...Actually we hung in TomCats and played the jukebox...1 of my favorite things to do is play songs that no one at that particular bar knows...So I filled the the jukebox with Dropkick...Social Distortion...Horrorpops...y'get the picture! Oh yeah back to the super long story on how I got to eat the best BLT in town. Roxy and friends were doing fine and they had a responsible DD set up so Jim and I headed off home...Or so we thought! Hey lets go to Sullivan's for a bite I said! So off we went...Sat down by the grill and were told they were only doing cheese fries at this time. (it was about 3am) Wanted a little more than cheese fries so I luckily used my charm to persuade the wonderful bartender Nate to cook up a burger for Jim and a BLT for me! As we were waiting for our food this girl starts going off on Nate about how long it has taken for her burger to get done! I am talking wacky crazy bitch going off! Her poor little boyfriend was out of his league with this girl! Even as they got their burgers and were eating she was still bitching to her boyfriend about how unacceptable it was to wait so long for her burger! Needless to say "Nate...You make a mean BLT...2 pieces of Texas toast grilled perfect...(although the toast cut the shit out of my mouth...But still worth it) 4 pieces of thick sliced bacon...Fresh iceberg lettuce and freshly slices tomatoes...Nicely done! So for your BLT experience you must go to Sullivan's on Main! (If I had my camera I would of taken of picture of how yummy it looked!)

As an added note...I have heard first hand about some disturbing attacks happening down by Sullivan's so for anyone going out downtown PLEASE use the buddy system! In the last 2 weeks there has been 8 reported rape or attempted rape attacks! That is all that was reported and at OSF for that matter! Please be careful and tell everyone you know! NO walking around downtown by yourself!

this PSA is over...Thank you for your time!

Chowderhead!
