I'm going to the eye doctor in less than 2 hours. I'm excited for the fact that I get to go to the eye doctor and will actually be able to get a prescription that doesn't make my eyes hurt...not excited that we will be paying full prices for Brian's stuff...but his glasses are older than mine, so I think it's worth it. You can't tell me that he doesn't get headaches and all that...poor thing.

My toilet got fixed the other day (HOORAY). I all I can say is...took long enough you apartment bastards! They must have knew I was talking about them because they came over fast that day. Was done before I got home...and they even fixed the other thing that pissed me off about the toilet. It wasn't mounted correctly to the floor or something and every time you used it, it felt like it was going to fall over or something. It was constantly banging against the wall and whatnot.

Anyway...enough potty talk. I'll be going to Colorado Springs later for Brian's grandma's birthday...we're not going to stay long...but look what I have to deal with coming home:



This is an actual picture of the I-25 sinkhole that we got on Thursday night (right before the evening commute practically...it was a nightmare).

Here's the most recent picture (they've been working 24/7 to fix the stupid thing:



I-25 is the major freeway that runs through the entire middle of Colorado. It is a very important thoroughfare and it really sucks that this sinkhole is blocking 3+ lanes of traffic.

According to the little description next to the last picture, "Denver Water employees work to remove a section of a 66 inch cement water main pipe Friday, Feb. 8, 2008, that broke Thursday in Denver, Colo., on Interstate 25 north of downtown. The water created a massive sinkhole and buckled a large section of the highway. Workers are making a temporary fix to the road so that traffic can use two lanes of the six lane interstate highway. " http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23071128/displaymode/1176/rstry/23060085/

They're letting people use the toll lanes for free during this time because there really is no other option going northbound on I-25. It's right at 58th...I live at 128th, so I have to go past it to get home...58th is practically when you start to go north of downtown. BIG MESS I TELL YOU!!!

Anyway...that's enough for now. I think Gregory is stirring...I've got to get him fed and ready to go before me myself have to get ready to go.

New glasses are the best. Its like you forget how much you cant see. When I finally got eye ins. a couple of months ago mine had went from -535 to -765. She was like you didnt drive yourself did you? I was like I drive all the time..What? LOL. Man, that sink hole looks like it could eat a car easy.

I like getting new glasses, but at the same time I don't because I can never find the right frames that fit me ... at least not right away. I really should go because it's been almost 5 years ... however I still passed the DMV vision test. when I do get around to getting to the doctor, I'll be getting contacts. I'm kinda {no, I'm really} sick of glasses. lol. so basically what I'm saying ... yay! for new glasses =]

oh, and boo for giant sink holes on the freeway.

Sinkholes scare the heck out of me especially when I hear about someone's house falling hundreds of feet without warning.

I hope they get the road fixed soon.

Thank god they came and fix it already. I think the neighbours underneath you started to have water dripping down from their ceiling and complained too.

Sinkholes! That's not the first one I saw. There are a couple here some time ago and one of them swallowed a house. Do you think the sinkholes appear because we keep on digging things out of the ground like precious stones, petroleum etc, and not because of the water pipes?
