Colts Season Tickets!!!

After 2 1/2 years of being on the Colts Season Ticket Waiting List, I have finally arrived! I received an e-mail about a month ago saying that I was probably going to get tickets this year, but it wasn't definite. So I put in my bid for what sections I would like to sit in and let fate take it's course. This Monday I received a letter from Peyton (aka the Colts) telling me that I did indeed get them. I am now the proud owner of two seats, upper level, 40 yard line, row 14.

I'm so stoked it's not even funny. I have already planned all the games out and where we are going to tailgate. After spending so many years (and a lot of money!) on driving out to Indy for a game here and there, this has just blown my mind. I don't even think it has completely hit me that I am going to go to 10 games this year. Plus have an opportunity to buy playoff tickets at face value. This is amazing. It took awhile getting adjusted to Indiana and getting to the point where I feel like I'm settled here. I am so grateful to not only have this opportunity, but to be able to do it. This year has so far been the best year and things just seem to be falling in place. :-)

Public Storage

So I have to rant because I am royally ticked off today. I have had a unit with Public Storage since November 2007. I have faithfully paid my bill on the first of every single month. Not a single payment missed or even a day late. I haven't even been INSIDE the unit since I started renting. Partially due to the fact that I lost keys within weeks of renting the unit and partially b/c Chris doesn't want me bringing in a bunch of junk. Whatever.

One of Chris' co-workers was looking for two twin beds which I happen to have just sitting in my storage unit. I told him he could have them. So I go to Public Storage on Monday April 6th. I tell them I need the lock cut off and a new one put on. I explain to her that the following day I have someone meeting me at 5pm there to get stuff out. Will this be a problem? No no no she says, the lock will be cut off today and I will call you to confirm that it has been. Does she call me? No. I call her the next day. It took me three hours to get a hold of someone there. She goes, oh the guy hasn't come out yet to cut off the lock...I'll call him to remind him. She then calls me back at 4:30pm to tell me that the lock will not be cut off that day. I'm really ticked at this point, but it is what it is so I ask her if she can guaruntee that it will be cut off on Wednesday. She says yes and this time I will make an effort to contact this guy to make sure he cuts off the lock. WTF???????????????????????????? I told you on Monday that I needed it cut off by the next day and you are telling me now that you didn't even make an effort????

As it turns out the co-worker couldn't come any other time that week so we decided to postpone. I get a phone call on Friday, April 10th from this chick telling me that they have just cut off my lock and I am free to enter the unit when I want. I was really pissed at this point. It took 5 days to have a stupid lock cut off. Ridiculous. I was going to complain, but I lost interest and got busy with other things.

Last night, Chris and this co-worker drive all the way downtown to get the beds out of storage. He calls me about 7pm and says the key is not working and they can't get into the unit and they are both PISSED as HELL! So I come to work today and call Public Storage. I ask to speak with the manager who happens to be the dumb a$$ that I've been dealing with. I gave her a piece of my mind. I told her this was ridiculous and an embarrassment to me and her company. She stuttered for a while and said she was going to go check the lock and call me back.

Well, it turns out the district manager cut my lock off and b/c the store manager was not there when it happened, he put a blue plastic covering over the lock that she has to remove before I can get into the unit. Helpful information about THREE WEEKS AGO! She claims that she did not know there was a plastic cover on it. Where the F is the communication in this place? So now I have left a message with the district manager to call me back to see what he can do. She tld me he could probably knock a couple bucks off my rent. Uhhhhh I would like a whole month free, thank you very much. It is absolutely ridiculous that I have invested as much time as I have into getting into a room that has a door that rolls up. It's a simple padlock lock. Nothing fancy. No need for a rocket scientist. So it's not even noon yet and I'm ready for a vodka and something. Thanks for letting me rant, blog people!

April Showers brings April Snow??

Hey everyone!!! So far in April it has rained. Then yesterday, it decided to snow and rain at the same time! Did I mention that it is APRIL??? In honor of Kristen...Dear Crazy! Life in Indiana is getting pretty crazy! I'm amazed at how busy I am yet none of that includes going to bars! In March, my dad drove out to visit Chris and I in our new apartment. He loves having his own room and bathroom. We surprised him with all of his favorite things; Kroger pickles, grape nut flakes, pepsi (in plastic bottles) and bourbon. We all went out to eat at this amazing restaurant called Rick's Boatyard. I definitely recommend it if you like seafood. It was delicious!

Another new thing I did this month was babysit a four month old. Yeah...me.... ha ha. For a couple days we had some gorgeous weather her and my cousin wanted to go Harley riding with her man so I watched her little tyke, Trent for a couple hours. Let me tell you, he is cute as a button, but he cried almost the whole time. I'm sure it was my fault, but I gues I'll wait a little while before having kids.

At the end of March, Chris and I drove all the way to Virginia for Kim and Tony's wedding!!! So much fun! We got to hang out with my parents all Thursday night. On Friday, it was out to Sleezeburg to get ready for the rehearsal dinner. I was exhausted after that. I wish I could say that we went out and partied like rock stars, but I went to bed at like 11pm. Saturday was filled with getting ready, pictures, and champagne. I had a blast the whole time and I hope Kim remembers that day forever. She looked beautiful. It was a little cold and rainy, but nothing could ruin Kim's fun. She was anything but a bridezilla. In fact, I think she made me realize how much of a bridezilla I will be if a certain someone either sh**s or gets off the pot. Ha ha, just kidding! It was great seeing a lot of old friends and getting to spend time with everyone singing Glory Days and dancing our butts off! Now I just need Seth and Susan to set a date so I know when I'm coming home next!

Happy February

Yeah I know I suck... I'm not even going apologize, I will just update. Well, Chris and I moved again. We moved to the westside of Indianapolis. He got a new job out at a property called Deer Crossing. It's pretty nice. It is way more convenient than living downtown. There is a very nice grocery store right across the street, many restaurants, a movie theatre, liquor store, and a great sports bar. The apartment is bigger and it's a two bedroom/two bathroom. Of course, my dad has already claimed the second bedroom and bathroom so if you want to come visit, you will have to ask his permission.

Nothing too exciting going on. Work is about the same. We've been really busy which of course, I am thankful for during this economic slump. School is going alright as well. I haven't had as much time as I want to dedicate to my studies. Oh well. I went to an All Girl's Valentine's Day party last weekend. 11 girls went to go see He's Just Not that Into You (super cute!) and then we went to a house to have fondue and other goodies. Well, when we walked in, the hostess had done an amazing job with decorations and gift bags for everyone. It was like a real party! I'm taking this as a sign that I'm getting old.

Chris is leaving next week for Miami to do some training for his new job. Yeah I feel real sorry for him. Actually, I do. He's going to Miami for the first time and won't be able to experience any of it. Ha ha! Serves him right for not asking to take me. I couldn't go anyway as I'm taking my own little trip next weekend. Alright, well, I better get back to work. I'll post pictures soon!

Catch up Time!

So I promised that I would be better at keeping this blog updated so even though nothing real exciting has happened, I'm just writing to say hello! This past weekend was fun. The apartment complex that I live in had a Halloween party. They have it every year. Actually the first one I went to was the first time I made out with Chris. Scandalous! So anyway, Chris and I are both being golfers for Halloween. I don't really like the idea, but I can't believe that he wants to dress in some what matching outfits so I'm not saying anything to him. Anyway, the party was okay. I don't really know anyone at these functions and Chris has to work for them so I'm usually by myself. I brought my friend Amanda with me who was dressed as a Banana. I'll have to post a picture when I get home because she was pretty funny.

Saturday night we went to a friend's house and pregamed with a little Rock Band 2. They have We Got the Beat on there which the girls all loved playing. It was really nice to get out and not just be with the boys. I should explain, normally its me and all of Chris' friends. Recently, we have all been spreading our wings and meeting new people. So there were other girls out with us on Saturday night which was pretty cool. I'm getting a little tired of all the guy talk. So anyhow, we went all went out to this bar we like called the Elbow Room. I crushed everyone at Big Buck Hunter (total redneck game that we would have loved to play at Glory Days). Not so much at Silver Strike. But got to meet some really cool people and I'm feeling more at home here.

Job is going really well. My company just took over a company in Cincinnati. Then a company went bankrupt in Texas and we scooped up a couple of their sales reps and are adding new accounts from there. I'm pretty excited about that because I know a lot of people have been losing their jobs and so I worry with the economy.

Well, speaking of job security, I better sign off here and get back to work!!!

Colts Game!!

Well, I couldn't have had a more perfect game to choose to go to. I have to admit that after the way the Colts season has started, I was a little worried about going to the Ravens game. They looked tough against the Titans and we looked like crap against the Texans. But alas the tickets had been paid for so it was done. Our seats were on the 15 yard line on the Colts side 17 rows from the field. I NEVER want to sit anywhere else. They were awesome! Here was our view:

Anyway, I got these tickets through one of the colts players, #61 Jamey Richard. His fiance and I have become acquainted and I'm trying to weasle my way into the family. Jamey's dad Charlie sat with us for the game. Very funny guy, reminded me a lot of my dad. So I was talking to him and turns out he went to the same high school was my mom, except 8 years before her and he knew of my grandfather's Oldsmobile dealership in Garden City. It was pretty exciting...for me.

So, what I didn't realize was that when you don't have a dome anymore, the sun can be on you. All week I prayed that the roof would be open for the game and not once did I think to wear sunblock. We were in direct sun almost the entire game so not only was it hot but I got burned a little bit. I gotta get used to this no roof thing!

Of course, this picture was when the sun was behind one of the tracting bars. Anyway, so the game was awesome. We crushed the Ravens. Theresa invited us back for another game so I guses we behaved. Next weekened, the Colts play the Packers and I'm sure that will be an interesting game for Chris and I. :-) Here is a picture of the Colts offensive line with Peyton looking like he is an outcast. LOL!

Just seeing if it worked! I'm a genius!
