Got the truck back. Fixed with a new water-pump (-) $200 later. The Indy 500 was on Sunday and it turned out to be a pretty exciting race. It’s the first time since a pole sitter and an American has won the race since 1997, but everybody likes it when Spiderman (Helio) climbs the fence! I didnt really get to listen to all of the race or watch it at all because of all the bad weather. Indy ended under caution and after 2 rain delays. I didnt get to watch much of….
[didn’t finish last night so I continued below]
….the Nextel Cup Coca-Cola 600 because all of the storms began to come in. There was reported 5 tornados in Marion county on Sunday night. It first looked like they were going to come right towards Amanda’s boyfriends house when she was staying there and I started freaking out about that. Then I thought it was going to head straight for our house so I locked Koko in the bathroom while I was basically running around looking at the radar and trying to keep from flipping out. Thankfully it missed us, but it didn’t miss a lot of other people. On Monday before I went to Jason’s openhouse I drove around to try to find out where the damage was. And boy was there some extensive damage. The had the whole intersection of Troy and Madison closed because of all the damage. As I drove around, I could see where exactly the path of the tornado was. Thankfully it just missed his house and went 100ft south of it. I don’t think the damage was as bad as the 20 September, 2002 tornados, but it still did cause extensive damage.
My favorite one called me today, finally!
. All I hear are these excuses and they just sound like blah blah blah blah :-p . I just hope that the babies aren’t too traumatized by her that much.
Anyways… I just got my new glasses tonight! My mom says she doesn’t like them, but she always seems to say that about everything I get. I like them, and they’re the new stylish kind that don’t have frames. I think I’m going to wear them to work tomorrow so I can get used to them and while I wait for my new contacts.
Well, I might rant a little bit more tonight but at least I was able to get this one done!
