Happy Belated Easter

How was everyone's Easter? Hope it was good. Josh and I made a trip to the Gutt. We spent Saturday helping rake the leaves at the house, talk about a task, there were a lot of leaves. Josh also worked on his baseball and softball scheduling. On Sunday Amber and Josh drove up and we had ourselves a feast. It was a good time! I think I am going into a sugar coma!

Hangin Tough with NKOTB!!

I love the New Kids...ok I am a freak!

i won 2 tix from the radio...or actually they announced they were giving away tickets, it was morning time, i was in and out of sleep...so i was dreaming that i was dialing on my cell phone, but i just couldn't get the number right...just then i heard Josh's voice on the radio, so he saved the day...i really wanted to go, but couldn't afford the tix price....so i had 2 tickets...the tickets were like the worst in the whole arena, farthest from the stage...josh knows someone that works at the mark...so he put in a call...and traded my two tix for one tix very close to the stage....becuase no one wanted to go

There were these 2 girls seated behind me, eating some nachos or something...the bumped me on the back and said "We can't see!" I was like well then stand up you lazy bitches....but instead I gave them this look of disgust and moved over, since no one was next to me on one side...I kept giving them these looks of disgust...it is a concert, stand up!!!

Speakin of lazy bitches, i felt skinny last night!

Then there was this girl about 5 rows in front of me who kept showing her boobs, and there were kids in the area...talk about a girl making her mother proud!

So I enjoyed another NKOTB concert, I was able to get my camera in, I was so happy, So I have lots of pictures and some video. I hope they continue to record and tour. Everyone has their favorite band, this just happens to be mine.

Will someone play frisbee with me?

Poor dog, no one wants to ever play with me, can someone please throw me the frisbee, I can catch it in my mouth.

In other news, a follow up on that 4 am phone call from last week. Apparently a tenant of the house, decided he was hungry. He rustled up some grass and twigs and what not and started a fire in the shed in the back yard. Once the fire got going, he went to go get some hamburgers to cook. Yeah that guy sounds like a winner. I guess it was a good thing the city made us move that shed at least 6 feet from the house when we owned it, otherwise the news would be about a burned down 525. Glad we don't have to deal with retards like that.

Early Morning Phone Calls

It's 4:40am on a cold Thursday Morning, the phone is ringing. HMMMMM, ok who the hell is it? Thanks for caller ID, it is the Iowa City Police Department. OK!?!?!? Did someone steal my car, should we not leave the house, are the neighbors ok, who died?

So Josh returns the call, apparently they were looking for the property owner of 525 Iowa Ave. A rental house that my family used to own. WE haven't owned that place for about 6 years, yes SIX years. Josh told the police person who the current owner was and that was it. However it still has me wondering, why do you call a property owner at 4:40am??? Is the house on fire? Was there a murder in the house? Vandalism to the property? Why are they calling me?

The only question I may have the answer to is why they would be calling me. When I lived in that house, all the while back I had made a few calls to the police. There was the time someone stole a cool looking light fixture from the porch, or the time the holiday lights were stolen, then there was the time when all the residents thought we heard a noise from upstairs, oh and that one time a dude broke into my place. Yep all my electronics were un hooked and sitting on the couch, and when they caught him he was on his way to use the bathroom. So I guess the police have record of me living in the apartment.

Only time will tell what they really wanted, I want answers!!!

Splish Splash

It is a rainy day here, but it is better than ice, and maybe better than snow. I am not melting.

Well nothing much new. Josh has been busy with the first and second round NCAA women's bball tournament. The Iowa Hawks played in the second game on Sunday night, but couldn't pull out the win. They played Georgia Tech, they are a tough team. The first game was between Oklahoma and Prairie View A & M. Oklahoma won easily, but the Prairie View band won in the battle of the bands, they were great!

So tonight it is the second round, Oklahoma versus Georgia Tech. I will be going to help Josh, by taking more pictures of the set up of the arena. It also will be a good basketball game. The girls on those teams are huge! There is one girl on the Oklahoma team that promises to pay back her scholarship if her team doesn't win the tournament. That is $64,000 folks!!

Also I think the thing I am looking most forward to tonight is drinking my beverage from a vitamin water cup. Vitamin Water, must be a huge sponsor for this tournament. In the media room you can not leave without your beverage in a Vitamin Water cup. This means pouring your bottled water or can of pop into a cup. Talk about a waste of materials. I guess they want people to know that you are sponsoring Vitamin Water. Heck I just talked about it for a paragraph. However, there is no actual Vitamin Water available for consumption, strange?

Happy St Patrick's Y'all!

Holy Moly, it has been a long time since i wrote on this blog. I guess there hasn't been to many new things to report, but I can tell you what we have been up to.

I have been running and training for a couple of 5k's. There is one in Moline or Rock Island, I can never remember on April 25th. It is sponsored by Steve's Tap, woohoo a race sponsored by a bar, but the proceeds go to the red cross. Then I am running another race the next weekend on May 3rd for the Ronald McDonald House in Iowa City. I know crazy, back to back races, but I will survive, it is only 3 miles in a race. Also the more the merrier, I am unsuccessful at recruiting runners. Josh will run with me, but I am looking to get more people motivated, so sign up or ask me.

Josh has been very busy with the upcoming NCAA 1st and 2nd round women's bball tournament. Carver Hawkeye will be hosting those games, as part of his job he is helping run the event. It was announced last night that Iowa will play Georgia Tech on Sunday night, so you should all get to Carver and cheer the women on, it could be a tough game. Then the winners of the 2 games on sunday will play Tuesday.

The weather here is super nice!!! It makes me wonder if there isn't something lurking around the corner, you know a big thunderstorm with tornadoes or do i even mention the s word, more snow some where in the forecast??? Today it is supposed to be 75, which is really nice. It is nice to see the sun, and open some windows at home.

Speaking of spring time nearing, i believe it will be here on Friday. I have a few crocus that have bloomed already, daring little flowers. I still have leaves and dead plant crap to clean up from last year. I like spring, time for the grass to green up, and the flowers are blooming.

Well that is about it, we lead not so exciting lives. Or something like that.

ARGH!!!

Oh my how funny is this picture. Uncle Tom sends me the best pictures from the past. That is my father the pirate, good times!!

In other news, take care of yourselfs out there, the flu is going around. Josh just had a bout with it, not good stuff.
