Superbowl Sunday, not so great for me....

Go Saints, I am glad they did it for the city! Otherwise, my superbowl Sunday SUCKED!!! To say the least, first I woke up in the morning with a horrible headache, and sinus pressure, so I took some Advil cold and sinus for it, and it went away for the most part. So I got in the shower to get ready for work, and of course, just my luck, there was no soap left. But of course I didn’t realize that until I had shampoo in my hair, and so instead of calling for Rob to come upstairs and get me some soap out of the linen closet, I decided just to jump out and go get it myself. BAD IDEA, because as I was taking a step out of the bathtub, my other foot slipped, and down I went, hitting my head, my arm, and my back on the side of the tub. Now, not only do I have a headache, but also am hurting from the fall. The worst is my back, I have what feels like a HUGE bruise on my back, however, what you see, is only a small bruise about the size of a quarter. So, the worst part is yet to come, stay tuned!!! On my way to work, I decided that I was hungry for an apple, and I also wanted to get some caramel dip that I had the day before at a scrapbooking event that I attended. So, on my way to work, I stopped at Dominick’s in Bannockburn and I ran in and got some apples, and some caramel dip to eat them with. Trust me, it’s yummy stuff, but DEFINITELY not worth what happened next. As I was leaving the parking lot, (I was almost out of the parking lot) all of a sudden, someone was backing up and kept going, and thought she didn’t see me, so I hurriedly stopped, and tried to quickly put my car in reverse, and back up before she would hit me, without luck, she just kept backing up, even after I honked, and then BAM! She backed right into me, smash! Dumb bitch! I got out secretly hoping that there was no damage to my car, maybe a scratch that she would have to pay for, but no, instead, my bumper was pushed in, and my front fender dented, and my headlight is not in correctly anymore either. She got out of the car and said oh, I am so sorry, it’s obviously my fault, you were in my blind spot, and I didn’t see you. As I am swearing to myself, thinking I REALLY cannot believe she kept backing up and hit my car, my still to me, BRAND NEW 2008 Infiniti G35. So, she said oh, let me just give you my business card, and be on our way, and you can contact me with how much the damage is. WHAT?!?!? Do you think I am stupid?? Nope, I surely am not, sorry, lady, but I work for the police department, do you know how many times we get people calling us or showing up to speak with an officer, because someone hit them and now they refuse to pay, or they never answer the phone when they call?? At that time, there is not much that we can do. So, I told her that I am calling the police, and they can write a report for us, and then we can do this through the proper channels. She said well I am not going to argue with you. I said you are right, because here is the officer, and that was the last thing she said to me. After the officer arrived, he wrote the report for us, and then as he was explaining that it was her fault, and that he would not be writing any tickets to her, because it occurred on private property (a parking lot). She came back with well how is it MY fault, it was only a matter of me looking this way and that way, then she appeared. Little does she know that she was backing into the lane that I had possession of at that time, and I stopped, to try to put my car into reverse really fast, and also honked at her, and she kept coming. DUH!!! Ooooh, I am soooooo mad at this woman!!! So, now it is a matter of she said, she said…..I called her insurance company today, and they took all the info, and will have one of their appraisers come to my house to take an estimate, and then I can take the car to get fixed wherever I want, and they will give me a rental for the time it is being fixed. However, I just have to wait for them to call her and make sure that our stories match. Seriously?? Live, Laugh, Love

A couple pics for you to admire! he he!

Ok, or long time no post. Sorry everyone, I have been slacking a little on my posts for my blog...ok so not a little, a LOT!!!!

Just wanted to keep you updated that I will probably be posting some more blogs soon, as I am taking a photography class at CLC, and I have a new camera, that is to say the least, AWESOME!!!! So I will hopefully be posting some posts with lots of cool pictures that I take for my class. I am doing this for fun, but I am also curious to see what my teacher has to say as to if I have an "eye" for it or not...I really hope I do, because it so far is really interesting and I can't wait to see what kind of pictures I can take.

Here are just some snapshots that I did, just playing around with my camera so far....there is so much to learn about how to use my camera, so we will see....I promise, when I get more into it, there will be some really cool pictures!

OOOOOOPPPPPPSSSSS!!!!!!!

This is what it looks like when you forget your boots at home....

So, last night as I was working, I noticed that my boots were getting to be very not shiny, so I decided to be a good employee and bring my boots home for a good shining! I told myself, now you MUST remember to bring these boots back to work with you, I even put them in sight, so I would remember them. Did I? Nope. A half hour before I had to leave for work, Rob and I decided to drive seperately to go get some lunch, before I had to go to work. So, we hurried out the door to eat so I would make it to work on time. And guess where my nice and shiny boots sat? Yup, right in sight, where I left them the night before after my wonderful husband shined them up for me. I surely did not notice that I forgot my boots at home until I was at work, in the locker room, all changed into my uniform, about to put my boots on, and *GASP* the shelf where my boots usually sit is empty! OMG! Can you freaking believe I did that? I can...sheesh! So, my new shoes that I wore to work are VERY white (because they are new) and pink. I was soooooo panicking, I must have stood there with my mouth wide open (thinking I cannot believe I forgot them!) for about 5 minutes straight. I scurried around the locker room to see if anyone was in the locker room, that I might be able to borrow their boots for the shift. I found Christina's locker open, (SCORE!) I thought, but no, she has some tiny feet, and only wears a size 6 1/2 boot, and mine is 7 1/2. (Thanks anyway, Christina, I know you wouldn't have minded!) So, then crap, what am I going to do? I called Cheryl, to tell her what I did, and to freak out on the phone, OMG OMG OMG, I cannot believe that I actually forgot my boots, I was thinking I just need something black on my feet under the desk, so Cheryl (the AWESOME person that she is) offered to let me borrow her boots, even though they are way too big for me, I was like I don't care, I just need something black on my feet, so I don't get busted! She came and brought me her boots, and also brought me some black socks to wear, so that I could have something black on my feet, incase I didn't want to wear the boots.....Cheryl, you are a lifesaver!!!! So, please enjoy the picture of the new uniform I just made, and I am going to submit to our boss, (I think he might go for it!)

Rob's Grandma

survey time!!!

Here is my survey for today, it consists of only one question... Do you call 911 when your power goes out? Answer honestly!!! Live Laugh Love

Rob's Grandma

As some of you may know, Rob’s grandma has not been doing well lately. She was not even expected to make it this long, but yet, seems to amaze us all, until now. When it was April/May, she was starting to deteriorate, and we were just hoping and praying that she would be able to make it to our wedding, and for those of you that were at our wedding know that she was there, and doing okay. But it has just been a waiting game, as she has progressively gotten worse since then. Last night Rob got a call from his mom who said that Grandma is not doing well, and now she is at home, but on Hospice. We all know what happens when someone is in the care of hospice. So we decided that we should go to see her today, because there might not be many more days. We got up and drove there, only to find out that they have had her on morphine, and she is not responding anymore to squeezing her hands or talking to her or anything, she is just lying there like she is sleeping, but in reality, she is in a coma like state, they say she will never wake up again. She sounds like she is breathing liquid, instead of air. It is hard to see, especially since that is kind of how I saw my Dad before he passed. It was very hard to see her that way, I just hope and pray that she knew that we were there today to see her. It is not very often that you can get Rob to go many places and visit people that are sick or anything like that, he usually just keeps saying that he can’t take it seeing someone in pain, or dying or anything. I don’t know what will happen if we ever have kids, and I am in labor! He will be the dad that sits outside or passes out… Anyway, please keep Rob and his family in your thoughts and prayers, as this is a hard time for them, and really for all of us. I pray that she goes peacefully without pain. At least she is at home where she wants to be. She is one of the sweetest and most caring people I have ever met. Live well, Laugh often and Love much
