COUNTDOWN CONTINUES.......

2 DAYS TO GO....2 MORE NIGHTS....YES!!!

Okay...so we may seem a little anxious to you...but seriously folks, we have the right to be. :-) If you have ever lived in the ghetto....you'd unerstand. Now, living in the ghetto could mean so many things.......

So, let me clarify for you:

GHETTO:

1) having to call 911 for the cops over 8 times within 5 months is too many; you are living in the ghetto.
2) when you have to translate for the police in a domestic abuse case; you are living in the ghetto (you would think they would require all law enforcement to speak at least 3 languages in our neighborhood).
3) You have a slimy yellow "something" (still having yet to be identified) that slinks and slides downs your walls...and 7 months of requesting it to be taken care of is still there...you eventually give up; you are living in the ghetto.
4) Upon moving in your father tells you he will get you rod iron coverage for your windows...it makes you rethink your decision to save some money and live somewhere cheaper; you are living in the ghetto.
5) Upon that same day of moving in your boyfriend (now husband!) makes another suggestion to get new doorknobs and locks because the door doesn't quite close (you hear and feel the breeze as it flies by your door)....; you are living in the ghetto.
6) You have all sorts of people who are living there because the government pays for it (this is not the problem) who are receiving government aid becuase they are mentally unstable (in the scary sense) and cannot maintain a job....and you find this out from one of your "friendly" neighbors who does not speak any English.; you are living in the ghetto.
7) Within weeks of living in your new establishment you come home one evening to find all the windows of the laundry room smashed out with bricks and broken glass all over the place....; I think you are livin' in the ghetto.
8) Oh, you see different people all the time staying in the laundry room because (as you learn from one of your friendly non-English speaking neighbors that the laundry gets stolen so they stay there the whole time waiting for it to be done.....; living in the ghetto.
9) Oh, yeah....homeless people (bless their hearts) sleep in your laundry room because there is a bench to sleep on and the laundry door no longer locks...still in the ghetto.
10) You are awakened regularly throughout the night (every night) by the howling of police, fire, and ambulance sirens...; welcome to the ghetto.
11) Of course, Mariachi music echos throughout the neighborhood attempting a chorus with booming gangster rap, from "custom" economy lowriders and pickup trucks, and right through your front door...; kickin' it in the ghetto.
12) (Matt's favorite) the air hood over the stove sucks in air, only to blow it right back into the room...; you're cooking in the ghetto.
13) Going for a walk requires you to make sure you have your mace or stun gun (haven't used them, YET), and on any given walk, you are certain to encounter a variety of individuals who reaffirm your decision to carry self defense products...; definitely in the ghetto.
14) Oh, and the final one....You have your seriously cheap (but shiny) hubcaps (all of them)stolen from your car in the middle of the night...yup, you're in the ghetto!
