Monster Trucks

The monster trucks were in town the other night so we took the kids and they had a blast!! My children are wanting us to buy tickets now for next year. I have to admit I had a blast also, I love the monster trucks. The kids were really excited to see some of the trucks roll over.

Kenny loved it when Bounty Hunter tore through this RV

They also thought it was pretty cool when Maxium Destruction jumped the Bob N Tom truck.

Some changes

Some of you know some don't. I have a new job that I start next week. I hired on yesterday with Merry Maids. Full time Mon-Fri. with full benefits and 1 week vacation in 6 months. I am going to stay on at Papa Murphy's 3 nights a week more if at all possible. By staying there should provide about another $500. 00 a month.

Also my car finally shit out recently so I am in the market for another vehicle. Well I found the one I want but now I have to work on Bill cause he doesn't want to spend that much. It is a 2005 Ford Freestyle Limited, it has 13,000 miles on it. It is the mac daddy of this model. It has every option you can get on this type of vehicle. I want it, I want it, I want it.....Really bad. It drives like a dream. It has leather seats, it will sit 7 people, power moonroof, 6 disc mp3 player, dvd system which does not run off of the car stereo, it is its own system with wireless headphones. The price for this car is $23,850.00. If it was a 2006 model it would cost. $31,285.00. Bill says we need to stay around $15,000.00........but when I look for something in that price range it is either 6 or 7 years old already or it is 2 or 3 years old with 70,000 to 80,000 miles on it already.

So anyway now I can say I have posted a recent blog entry! :D

Here is a picture of the vehicle I want. The color is merlot. I LIKE IT!!

I am a......

In response to Dave & Emily's blogs:

I'm a Chevrolet Corvette!

You're a classic - powerful, athletic, and competitive. You're all about winning the race and getting the job done. While you have a practical everyday side, you get wild when anyone pushes your pedal. You hate to lose, but you hardly ever do.

Cha Ching

Last night we went to the bar and had a few drinks, which I found a new drink that I like. Captain Morgan (of course), OJ, Cranberry juice, & a splash of Grenedine...YUMMY!!!

So after we left the bar we went to Steak n Shake and had fun, then onto the boat we went....Well I didn't play any blackjack cause all they had were $10.00 & $15.00 tables. So I put $10.00 into a nickle video poker machine and lost it all. I don't know why I did that I hate video poker. So I got another $10.00 from Bill and went and found my favorite game. I love the monopoly slot machines. The first machine I played sucked pretty bad I was down to $1.35 left so I cashed it out and changed machines. I got up to $62.00 and decided that I wouldn't go lower than $50.00, so I ended up cashing out at $50.00. Not bad for a couple hours entertainment. The only bad thing was that it was 5:15 am before we got home.

Silly Dog

Our dog Jack was pretty tired. We found him sleeping like this. I thought it was pretty darn cute & funny!

Getting a beating

March 2,1991..........Rodney King gets the beating of his lifetime by some LA cops, the whole world sees it over and over again. I would know since we lived in California at the time, It was on the news 24 hours a day!! The LA riots were just plain ass crazy! Kinda of like 9/11 we watched it nonstop, there was nothing else on TV.

Fast Forward 15 years..........

As a service to viewers, Thursday, Feb. 2 at 10 pm, FOX 2 News will re-broadcast the entire, un-edited footage of the Maplewood police high-speed pursuit and arrest of Edmond Burns. This story has generated numerous newspaper articles, television stories and has been a heated topic of conversation throughout our community. Hours of local and national radio talk-shows have been devoted to this controversial footage.
Only viewers of FOX 2 News in the Morning who were watching the Monday, January 30 broadcast saw the complete live SkyFOX coverage of the high-speed police chase and the ensuing arrest. FOX 2 has received hundreds of emails and phone calls requesting to see the un-edited footage in its entirety. In order to serve the St. Louis community, FOX 2 News will air the un-edited footage so viewers can see the dramatic chase and arrest, and decide for themselves what really happened.

If you have not seen it cause you just got home from Mars or the Moon, then you should watch this tonight. I won't state how I feel about the whole beating incident, but I will say this.

I can see it coming, the LA riots all over again but this time only in St. Louis.

Since I am on the subject of police issues, Here is another one for ya:

Police Officer Will Be Charged in Lincoln County Shooting of Two Men

Teasley and Brown were pulled over for speeding. They were sitting inside their truck when the vehicle backed up. The deputy, who had been on the force for three years, fired into the vehicle, killing the two men.

The deputy involved now faces two counts of involuntary manslaughter.

Now this I will state how I feel, BULLSHIT!! I feel they deserved what they got!
1. They should of pulled over as soon as the cop tried to pull them over.
2. The dumbass driver should not of allowed his truck to roll backwards.
3. The cop had a right to shot, how was he supposed to know if they were going to hit him or not. I feel he did what he had to to protect his well being.
4. When the truck rolled back in damaged the reinforced bumber of the police car, If it can damage that just think if it would have bones & flesh.

The story could of ended up like this:

Lincoln County officer dead after pulling over a truck that was speeding. The officer was pronouced dead at the scene. Investigators believe that as the officer was walking up to the vehicle it rolled backwards and crushed him to death. The officer was pinned between the bumpers of the truck and the police car.

So you get the point.

I'm just saying.......
