The Jeep Crash Part Duex!

Okay so if you remember the Jeep was crunched in front of our house while we were sleeping!

Here is the update...Please try to stay with me as it could get confusing. Please do not read this blog if you are slow(Jack), mildly drunk(Britt), Rip roaring drunk(Brad) or just get confused easily(Aimee) as this will throw you over the edge. I can not be responsible for anything that happens to you!
I will give fake name to all involved as to make it easier.

Rita / The Renter of the Car
Doug/ Druggie( 20ish man) in Rental who crashed into the Jeep
Cop/ The Policeofficer
Jig/ The Married man whose girlfriend is Rita
Randy/ The Car Rental Guy
Ida/ Insurance lady

Okay so Doug crashed the car into the jeep, drove away and then ran away. Cop shows up and gets the info on the rental car. Cop contacts Enterprise and find out Rita didn't take the extra insurance. Randy tells the Cop that Rita has been sober for months now.(HUH?) but was fired from her job at CAT for boinking Jig at the office. Cop goes out to her apt. but she won't come out she will only talk to them on the phone. Cop catches her in about 5 lies. " I don't know Doug...I do but I didn't lend him the car...he stole the car..." He does get out of her info on a small insurance policy taken out for liability only. Cop also figures out she can't drive her Tahoe because the plates were suspended for lack of insurance on the vehicle. This is the reason for the rental car. Cop calls Ida to check out the legitimacy of the policy. Ida says "Yes it's up to date. Jig comes in once a month and pays it the same time he pays her rent." Cop asks Ida for Jigs name. She gives it to him. Cop actually knows Jig, who is married and a volunteer fire chief for a small town. So far Cop has not found Doug. My insurance company settled with me and they are going after the damages from other insurance group. Enterprise is going after Rita for the full car price since that car was totaled too!

So that is the rest of the story...doesn't it sound like As The World Turns or something.

Hope you have enjoyed this edition of The Jeep Crash!
All names have been changed to protect the innocent!

The Reign of James

Okay so Kaysar totally screwed up when he wimped out and put up Nik and Diane... So Nik is gone. I was so nervous during the head of household but it came down to Janelle(Go Girl!) James(Not sure I trust him yet) and Danielle(Could owe us 1). What happened to Janelle? She totally flaked on the next question...she looked like she was just off in La La land. Then there were 2. James brought it home. Now, he is part of the BB6 alliance but boy he is on shaky ground as to his loyalty...I guess we will see on Sunday who he puts up!
Oh I know I am pathetic for watching but get over it...Summer wouldn't be summer without BB and TIVO of course...so I can actually have a life and be addicted to my TV.

BB6 Strong!

P.S. Sorry O'B I promise to catch you up on the freak show that was our Jeep Crash!

Still Searching...

Brad...don't worry I am still searching for pictures of Brisket to post for you! If Jim has to make some for the pictures...what would I do with it? Any Ideas?

Playin' Clayton...AKA Brisket Brad!

Big Brother Blogging!

Okay I also plan on ranting and raving about Big Brother 7 ALL STARS baby! I know I am admitting this to the whole world wide web...I LOVE Big Brother...Can you say "Infatuated with Janelle?" Anyway I'll take my lashes whenever I see you but it's worth it with the ALL STARS on! Gretch Y'know what I'm talking bout! BYE BYE BITCHES...er I mean Allison! 1st kicked off WAHOO!

East Coast Pimpin"

Okay so I know I have been logging behind on my blogging(hehehe that rhymed)...So here is the update on my 2nd trip. After being home for 1 day from my Seattle trip I went to NYC with my mom to meet my cousins who live in Sweden. We flew into JFK and then had to get all our luggage and go to the international terminal and wait for them to get out of customs! It was so great to see them. I had not seen Lena and her husband Hassa for 13 yrs. It was also the 1st time I had meet their boys Calle 11 yrs old and Jens 9 yrs old. Pretty much We did your typical NYC tourist stuff. (they had never been to NYC) ... double decker bus tour...Empire state building ...Central park...Little Italy...Times square...WTC ground Zero... Battery park... you get the picture! For the 1st time though we took the Staten Island Ferry...which I highly recommend. it is free and it leaves every half hour and goes over to Staten Island. It passes right by the Statue of Liberty and only takes 40 mins.

This is my family on the ferry!

Of course we ate and drank a bunch too! pretty tourist places but they were just fine...Ruby Foo's...Amici's...Hard rock cafe... and 1 night we meet some other cousins who live in NY for dinner at a micro brew type of place.

This is the whole gang after dinner. Oh yeah for those who saw this shirt in the previous blog...No I didn't get my sleeves tattooed...it's a shirt...(At least not yet!)

Mom and I actually got our hair cut at the Redken Exchange salon for $25. they were having a charity cut a thon and brought in 75 of their national performance artist to cut hair... I got Hugo form LA and we have taken classes from him before and he is a riot...and My mom got Brian who is from Canada and also have taken classes from him! It was so freakin awesome to just sit and be clients! Hugo cutting my hair!

So that was my East Coast trip in a nut shell!
I promise to blog more often about random non interesting crap for Y'all to read!

So long Suckers!

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!

Congrats Matt and Tracy!

Okay so a couple of weeks of go our friends called and said "We are getting married tomorrow !" So off to the courthouse we went and watched them get married...it was great! they are planning on having a more traditional one in Kansas this summer! It was a "Johnny Cash" wedding so we wore black and it was so beautiful!
We went to Richards for their reception lunch and they got to spend the night at the Pere!
I wish for them the best!

You've been BALLED

Okay so from a previous post y' know about the giant balls and they have become quite a mode of enjoyment for us! As you can see Jim is having a great time laying his giant balls on Roxy's car! I hope the car was having as much enjoyment as he was!

Just remember you never know when are where but you could get BALLED!

Closest thing to being a celereality!

So my cutie putie husband...(he loves that I call him that) is in Chicago today...Why you ask? Well he is trying out for the Bravo channels reality show TOP CHEF. I know if it was a audience vote he would so be on...Right Brad? Anywho...we made a tape and he filled out the whole application... and he went to Chicago for the live casting. He called a bit ago and said there weren't as many in line as he thought but that it was slowly growing. 2 guys ahead of him flew in from Louieville KY. So I guess we will see if he can stand the heat and get in the kitchen...Wish him luck and salt and pepper!
To all of those who cook...we salute you!

The Big Giant Claw!

So Jim and Linda and Matt and I went to Great America Six Flags on Monday! Although the weather was a little shitty ...no one was there...which ROCKED! No lines...lots of roller coaster ridin! Plus the guys got really into playing the games too! After the bumper cars we walked into this arcade and saw "the biggest claw game in the world"(say with funny voice)! You could fit 10 adults in this game...so hopefully everyone knows what I am talking about...It's a big claw and you use the buttons to maneuver it to the prize you want to win and let it drop...hoping it will pick it up and carry it over to the bin and you get to take the prize home!
Well this game had large stuffed animals and very large dodgeball type balls with CUBS logo on it. Jim was hooked. He put in $5 for 3 tries. 1st try...he gets a ball...2nd try...he gets a ball...3rd try...denied! So now Jim has to walk around the park holding his 2 giant balls...So can you foresee what the day is going to hold for us...we became 12 year olds making jokes about Jim's balls...oh yes...all day "Look at how big Jim's balls are?" "Look Jim young boys are admiring your balls" "Jim's sitting over there with his balls hanging out" It went on ...and on...and on...
1 of the best was when Sylvester the Putty Tat came up and rubbed jim's balls...oh yes we said it...
"Look at the pussy rubbing Jim's balls!"
I promise to put up a pick when I get it so you can all visually see Jim's balls!

Battin' balls and taking names!

I won again!

Okay so if you read a very early post you know I am very lucky and win things a lot!
Well I had purchased a ticket to Mansion in May...a fund raiser for the Symphony Guild...while touring the Mansion, I bought some raffle tickets...Guess WHAT?!?!?! I won something...yeah!
Although the prize doesn't matter, I just love to win! So it is a CAT jacket and golf balls or something like that...It's worth $125. YEAH!
I think I will go play the lottery!
Play Ball!

Weekend at Bernies!

Okay so the weekend should of turned out so much better than it did but you just can't fool mother nature! Well we endured the freakin' pouring rain and cold sitting for over 2 hours in the bleachers at Wrigley Field before the sky cleared up and they actually played some ball...oh actually the Brewers came to play but the Cubs must of still had rain in their eyes. We lost miserably. Thankfully though we ended our night with a concert. My other favorite thing to do! We saw the Horrorpops at the Beat Kitchen. It's an itty bitty small joint. We went a bit early and had some great food and then went into the back where the concert was and The Briefs opened. they are definitely Londonesque Punk band with great songs and energy. The Horrorpops of course kicked ass...Patricia was so on and they are awesome live! The place was so small they didn't have a back stage so they had to come on stage through the crowd on the side. When it came time for them to take a break before coming back on for a couple more songs ...they couldn't leave the stage so they did this hilarious thing about acting like they were leaving the stage and turning the lights down and whispering to act like you don't see us...it was sooo funny. So it was a great Weekend at Bern...er I mean...in Chicago!

Thanks you and Goodnight!
