Are we there yet?

Sullivan/St. Louis Area:
* Westbound Rest Area at St. Clair (Mile Marker 235) -- Closed until late August.
*Route 100 east at Gray Summit (Mile Marker 253) -- The ramp from Route 100 east to westbound I-44 and the ramp from westbound I-44 to Rte. 100 east are closed until June 1 while crews reconstruct and lengthen the ramps. The two through lanes on westbound I-44 will be narrowed to 10 feet. Barrier wall is located along the right shoulder.

Detour routes for the closed ramps are as follows:
While the ramp from Rte. 100 to westbound I-44 is closed, motorists can continue on Rte. 100 and detour to the I-44 interchange to the west of Gray Summit (Exit 251). While the ramp from westbound I-44 to Rte. 100 is closed, motorists can detour to the I-44 interchange in the city of Pacific (Exit 257) or to the I-44 interchange to the west of Gray Summit (Exit 251).
This work is expected to be complete in December 2006.

* Route 100 east at Gray Summit to Pacific at the St. Louis County line (Mile Markers 253 to 258.5) – From 6:30 p.m. to 5 a.m. nightly Wednesday and Thursday the right eastbound lane will be closed. Periodic daytime and nighttime lane closings during non-rush hours. Traffic on eastbound I-44 can only exit at Pacific from the right lane. There is no access to Pacific from the left lane. The ramp from Osage St. to eastbound I-44 is closed until the end of May. Traffic will be detoured to Allenton/Six Flags Rd. to access eastbound I-44. Narrowed eastbound and westbound lanes.

* Central to Williams Rd., east and west of Rte. 109 (Mile Marker 264) - I-44 is reduced to two lanes in each direction. Eastbound and westbound I-44 traffic has been shifted to the eastbound lanes. The ramp from Rte. 109 to westbound I-44 is closed through the Fourth of July holiday. Traffic must detour to Fifth St. and then to the Six Flags Rd. interchange to access westbound I-44. Delays are expected. I-44 will be restricted to two lanes in each direction through Labor Day.

* Rte. 109 near Eureka to I-270 in Sunset Hills (Mile Markers 261 to 276) – Various lanes on eastbound and westbound I-44 will be closed from 8 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. nightly Monday through Friday.

Aw.  I started to take a Sesame Street Persona test, and then realized most of the elementary school questions didn't apply to me, because I was homeschooled for most of that. 

Swing Dancing, Casaloma Ballroom, 8 p.m. Friday.   Save me a dance

Does anyone have a copy of the Da Vinci Code??  I want to read it but not actually BUY it.  Because clearly, buying into Their world only aids Them (yes there's a Them).  I mean the scientologists get it!

If you needed a stage name, what would it be?

Posting for the Sake of Posting

It has been too long since I have posted.  Sadly, I don't have anything exciting going on.  Even worse, there isn't anything politcal I care to rant about!  Still, I will try to muster something up.

Those of you who are in school, do you wish you were finished?  Those of you who were working, do you wish you were still in school?  I wish neither, though am becoming discontent with my current situation.  Everyone has a when-this-happens-I'll-do-this coming up, and if you were wondering, mine is moving to StL.  Something about living on acres and acres next to acres and acres next to a golf course and next to a farm is not doing it for me right now.

It seems that some of you post pretty personal stuff on here, but I can't bring myself to do it!  I mean, what if someone were to READ it?   Thus, I will stop right there.  Hope everyone is doing well.  Have a wonderful week!


P.S. Summer: Haste the day!  Skip Spring altogether if you want.
P.P.S. It is suppose to rain ALL WEEK.

The search is over!  I bought a car.   It is everything I hoped it would be and more.  I now get to experience all sorts of fun things, like not breaking down, having heat in the winter, air in the summer, people wanting to check out my car...  It was such a difficult decision!  And so much pressure!!  I'm glad my daddy came.  And glad it's over. 

I've always wanted personalized plates, but could never think of anything cool.  If you could personalize your plates, what would they be?

I apologize for the lack of creativity and length in this post.  However, I wanted to update you, that I do indeed have a car :)

Yes, it is a bit early for my regularly unscheduled Xanga post.  However, I have something to share with my loved ones, about a loved one.  It is soon coming time for me to part with my first love, Louie.  There's so much to repair, I know it's time to move on.  It's just we've been together for so long, it's hard to imagine my life with someone else...

Unless of course that someone is better, smaller and smells like new...time to go car shopping!  I had hoped this day would come later, but I am going to try to see this not as losing a beloved material object, but gaining a warranty, an engine stabilizer, an odometer, unobstructed vision, a break pad cover, heat, air conditioning...etc.

In the meantime, here's to my car starting tomorrow morning!
