So sue me. Seriously. Go ahead. Sue me. I’d be happy to win a judgement against you for a frivolous lawsuit and take your house.
Some random stuff:
1. I’ve lived in this house for nearly 12 years, and we never got water in the basement until we carpeted it. I am currently running the shop vac, trying to keep on top of the water soaking my carpeting, while my husband is out on innumerable calls. He works for a company that has a contract to maintain the pump houses on Chicago’s expressways. I called him to see when he’d be home (secretly hoping it’d be soon, so he could take care of the basement water situation), and he informed me that he would be out for a very long time, probably all night, and that he was just at a flooded viaduct where search and rescue had to be called, because there’s a car trapped, and they’re reasonably sure there’s somebody trapped. That makes my water-logged carpeting seem like a very minor problem.
2. I’m leaving for Florida on Friday morning. I wrote an essay about my favorite piece of Florida for a class last semester, and I just published it on Newsvine (you all should REALLY join Newsvine. I’ll send you invites. Just let me know). You can read it HERE. Please leave comments. And join Newsvine. I am the Newsvine Drinking Contest Queen, two times running. And while some of you might not think that’s something to toot my damn horn about, that’s your problem. I’m tooting. Toot! Toot!
3. Um… I don’t have a 3.
While I’m in Florida, I will do my best to “borrow” the wireless connection of the guy who lives above my parents condo. It involves me sitting on the floor of the hallway, but I’ll do it. Because I’m addicted to the internet, mostly. But I’ll do it for you. I’ll try to be good and post some pics of the vacation. My husband is actually willing to set aside his hatred for Florida and come with us this year, so we’ll have fun. He and I have a running gin rummy tournament going (I’m so beating him).
I wish I were being better about posting on my ole blog here. There’s something awfully annoying about the way life cuts in on my blogging time. And Newsvine. I’m addicted to Newsvine. And you should be, too.
1. that really sucks.
2. I had no idea you were so obsessed with a friggin’ old building. You’re weirder than I thought. How did I miss that? You go to the museum to look at pictures? We need to discuss this further.
3. Have a nice drive. I see Ruby Falls!
brother of The Vikibabbles.
aha.
I thought you were a young student, but if you’ve been living in a certain house for twelve years with your husband that means I couldn’t be more wrong.
Strange how you can build an image of someone in your head so fast without actually having any facts to support what you think you know.
Viki, who are you???
oh, she’s no spring chicken.
Wish I were going to Florida today… or any frickin’ day! Lucky dog.
Anywho, yes, you’ve been missed but I definitely understand about life getting in the way of blogging. It pisses me off when that happens to me and it has been happening way too damn much lately. I need to re-evaluate my priorities
Thanks for the tip on Newsvine… just bookmarked a butt load of pages to read and will get back with ya’ on my thoughts after you get home from SunnyVille USA.
Let’s see… The blog is called “VikiBabbles,” but Viki only spoke twice in the last month. Litigation MAY be forthcoming after all…

Sorry! I just got back from Florida, and had no internet access while I was there, and I’m trying to play catch up with my school assignments.
I will post something fantastic tomorrow. I promise.
Yeah, well, that’s what they ALL say…
(Welcome back Viki. You’ve been missed.)
