200th Post, Bitches!

Ok, so I had planned on doing something over the top for my 200th post but nothing exciting has happened lately. Bleah! So, I will make this post like most of my others, about me.

We had wicked weather here last night. It started at 10:30 pm when I heard the wind come up and not a minute later I heard Mr. Sign yell up to me that we had better get the awning on the deck down. He was about 30 seconds too late. The wind had already whipped it around and twisted the frame. We did get it down before the lightning hit.

The storms went on until about 5 am. The lightning was incredible but not favorable for sleeping. I awoke to my step dad (also my boss) calling to tell me not to come to work because they were without power until at least Thursday. Woohoo!!! Oh, wait, I need money. I want to work!

The other reason I wanted to work was that Mr. Sign was taking the girls up to his sister's in northern lower Michigan (a 180 mile trip, one way) and I really didn't want to go. The girls are staying for the week and they have never stayed with anyone other than my parents before.

I had no choice but to make the two and a half hour drive. We got a mile away from home and had to turn around so #1 could get her headphones. We hit construction within 3 miles of our house and a work truck weaved and nearly sideswiped our van. Mr. Sign was yelling as I dodged part of the truck that flew off and almost hit the windshield. Another few miles later, a bird flew directly into the windshield leaving a large splat. A while later, a large piece of metal was directly in the middle of the freeway blocking both lanes making all traffic come to a complete stop to get around it. I was beginning to think someone was trying to tell me something.

We stopped at a favorite place for lunch that has an excellent buffet/ hog trough. I'm not exaggerating when I say that some of everything I ate ended up on the front of my blouse. I was a mess as I laughed hysterically and wiped the last of lunch off. We had to make a side trip to find me a new shirt that took us 20 miles out of our way. I just let it all roll off my back.

We made it to my sister in law's and within an hour #2 had two chipmunks eating out of her hand (this isn't her because I didn't bring the camera). We left our beauties and made them swear to be good.

Mr. Sign and I laughed the entire way home since I had slept little and I become even more of an idiot with lack of sleep. We were talking about moose being in the Upper Penninsula and I was trying to explain that there are almost as many car accidents involving moose as deer. It came out like moose/deer accidents. Mr. Sign was picturing a moose banging into a deer (yes, that kind of bang). He's such a pervert. That's why I like him ;-P

I tried to get him to stop and "rest" but he had to get back for class. All that talk of moose "banging" made me randy. Poor me.

I'd have to rate this post as uneventful for a 200th, but in keeping with this blog's theme, why would you expect anything else?
