When the ass end of your car is all jacked up, people don’t tailgate you much. They will also cross to the other side when you’re backing out of a parking space instead of walking right behind your car and making you wait.
This is nice. I might just smash up the front, too!

FINALLY!!! 2 1/2 weeks after the storm!!! Now you’re gonna get tired of hearing from me. LOL
I heard from Progressive lately and the woman who hit me won’t answer calls from her insurance company. The truck she was driving was not on her policy. OF COURSE! UGH
But hey, did I mention… I HAVE THE INTERNET [...]

Driving.
OK, all of you in Galveston County… let’s go over what a blinking or non-working traffic light means. It’s like 4 way stop. You have to stop and yield to people. You can’t just barrel through the intersection without stopping and sideswipe people, or half ass stop and go right away, or run it, or [...]

I’ve got me a Chrysler, it’s as big as a whale, and it’s about to… HOLY $#*%!
You know how I blogged about the traffic lights not working the other day? Yeah, well somebody wasn’t paying attention at one today and smashed into me.
I was about 3 cars back in line at a blinking [...]

Gah. What a depressing day.
This was the first official day that Galveston was letting residents back onto the island to see their homes. I spent over an hour sitting with a man who just found out that his home was a total loss. His home was beautiful and it was obvious that he is well [...]

I wasn’t going to write tonight, but my google reader on my phone just crashed for the third time tonight. I took that as my sign to stop reading and go to bed. Only I fell asleep at 6 out of pure exhaustion so I’m wide awake at midnight. This should feel real nice in [...]

Is that the name of that Dr Seuss book where the kid makes up all kinds of crazy things that happened on his walk home? That’s how I felt this morning as I was trying to get to work. I was running late and I just texted, “stuck in traffic,” to my boss because she [...]

Today our store opened back up and I went to work. I really love working there and it was nice to see everyone again (even little Jewel, even though she wouldn’t get out of my face! ha ha). I’m not supposed to blog about work, so I’ll stop… after I say again that I couldn’t [...]

Today will go down in the annuals of Shana history as the most boring day evah. Evaaaaahhhhhh (say it while shaking your face back and forth really fast).
We still have no electricity. My online entertainment ended abruptly around 10 a.m. when AT&T decided that I’d had enough fun for the day.
So I sat around watching [...]

We’re still pretending like we’re on an extended camping trip in one big ass brick tent. It seems like something strange happens about once every hour or so.
I woke up and thought, who’s mowing our back porch? Oh, thats the generator. Then I got a little more pissed than yesterday about the other side of [...]

It’s not too bad without power. The weather is unbelievably nice tonight. It leaves me with lots of time to think about the random things. Like…
I have a cold. My chest is congested and my nose is running.
Dayquil… I think we can power the generator with that stuff. It sure tastes flammable.
Funny how the other [...]

I’m stopping at my moms to send some photos to some friends, but we’re staying at home. No power, no internet (even on my phone). I can send text messages so I might twitter that way.
I took some pictures today. Check out my .mac gallery:

Tomorrow we’re waking up bright and early to go back home! Good bye, San Antonio! I will NOT miss you, but I will miss all of our savings that we spent while we were there!
We’re not QUITE going home, though… we’ll be staying at my mom’s house, which is in Bacliff, about 10 miles away [...]

Look, another blog entry! 2 in one week! How amazing is that? LOL
I’m sitting here in a hotel room in San Antonio. It’s 5 a.m. and I’m awake because Johnny called me at 3 a.m. to tell me that he made it home. I twittered at 3 and I hope nobody had device updates turned [...]

I stole this from Laura. She didn’t actually tag me, but it’s fun to pretend. LOL
