I narrowly escaped my death and or abduction

... or perhaps I watch way too many movies. However! I do not think that this was the case. While driving home northbound on I-94, I exit my home exit and a large semi truck is on my ass honking his horn! I pull to the left (because I am turning left) he pulls to the right and signals for me yo roll down my window. I do. In a Russian accent, this man says "I have been following you. There is something wrong with your car. Pull over and I fix for you." My brand new car? really? I say "Thanks, Im close to home, I'll look at it there." He says "No, pull over and I look at it for you now." I say no.. and he insists 2 more times! That was way more insisting than a normal good citizen would push. I get home, tell Bill, he checks out my car and says "Your car is fine."
See! I am positive this trucker was going to abduct me for either organ harvesting in Mexico (I just saw Turistas) or fill me up with heroine and use me as a drug mule (I just saw Taken) or rape and kill me (I watch a lot of horror movies).

A crappy year in review

One of the most tragic and disappointing years of my life. Happy to see 2009 go.
- Diagnosed with 2 plum sized fibroid tumors in January. I named them Thelma and Louise.
-Kenneth Johnson, my sons social studies teacher arrested for 10 counts of child pornography.
-my spine collapsed in Vegas. Worse pain ever! $3,000 chiro bill.
- Alex was jumped and beaten on Main street. Charges filed, Ass received 1 year probation. (and moved from Antioch)
- Another one of Alex teachers, Wes Owens, arrested for criminal sexual assault. The girl was 15.
- Matthew was arrested for starting fires in the park (oh, that was a special day)
- My tumors have both grown to the sizes of grapefruits and I am in constant pain every day.
- My cat, Paul McCartney died.
- The passing of one of my very favorite teachers, Mr. Reinhardt.
- Haven't seen or talked to G this entire year. You should call G, it'd be nice.
- Michael Jackson and Patrick Swayze gone. It still breaks my heart.

That's all I care to remember for now. So long 2009. I hated you.
