Strange But True

Cheveon Ford, 21, was arrested in Pensacola, Fla., in July and charged with making false 911 calls; according to authorities, Ford's only explanation was that he had no more minutes on his phone and knew that 911 calls were free. [WFTV (Orlando), 7-25-07]

In July, a tractor-trailer overturned on Walker Road in Norridgewock, Maine, and its contents of nitrogen-concentrated chicken manure spilled onto rusted cars and the rest of the property of junk dealer Richard White. Days later, "There's stuff still 20 feet up the tree," he said. "It was like a tsunami wave of hot chicken (manure)," he told the Waterville Morning Sentinel. White grumbled that the truck company was slow on the cleanup, probably, he said, because his property is largely junk. "They think I'm a hick and don't matter. But my life didn't smell like this before." And "I hate flies." [Morning Sentinel, 7-31-07]

Preparing for Costa Rica

Hey all who may read this! We have been pretty busy as of late working and getting ready for our trip to Costa Rica.... only four days left! Last night I bought a cheep wedding band so I can leave my real band and e-ring behind.

Here's a map of our C.R. travels...



It's rainy season so we're all prepared to get drenched. We've got waterproof/resistant shoes, pants and jackets!

Pyow Pyow!

Getting out the Roller Blades...

Yesterday we gained a paved road!!! We can now bike, run, rollerblade, kartwheel down the road! Yippie! This is just stage one. Once more houses are "installed" we'll get another layer of pavement (or asphalt... I'm not sure what it is).



I love the way the road workers still had to wear those bright yellow vests... like some maniac might run them over... out in our coldasac... in the middle of no where... at 10am.



After I took this last photo they went and smoothed it all out. Perdy.

Super Fun Friends...

So this weekend the fabulous Kate and Matt drove all the way down here for a visit! We had a GREAT time with them here, and we miss them already! Here's a few photos. :)




By the way... I got my hair CHOPPED! Eight inches! The girl doing the cutting was nervous to chop off that much. I feel breezy. :)

Super Fun Family...

I have so much to catch up on. Last weekend I went home to South Bend and had an awesome time with my family. I was able to just hang out and relax and it was really nice! I also got some really cute pictures of my sista Julie. She's adorable. :) Mom's here in the background. She's adorable too. :)

Pass Me The ICE!

So it's been pretty hot lately... as you can see today it feels like 105.

And so, it goes without saying (even though I'll say it anyway) that yesterday our air conditioner blew a gasket (or something). I don't know really what blew, but it wasn't cold air. :) With basically no wind the temperature in our house reached 90 degrees yesteday, even with all of the windows open.

Thankfully, we were able to talk to our repair guys last night. The cold air dudes came out this morning and replaced the entire unit!

That's How I Roll...
