You know you're at LOTO when...

So, I decided to begin a new blog.  Because I already had this account set up, I'm just staying with it...for now.  At least until I decide which one I want to do.  :-)

I figured I would make a fresh start and new blog since I am in a fresh start at my life...both personally and professionally.  I wanted to do something new.  Something fun.  Something me.

So, here it is.  This "blog" will be about everything.  I encounter some crazy people/things/situations in my everyday life and believe that some of them are worth sharing.  At the least, I hope to put a smile on someone's face.  :-)

For example, today I took the trip to see my Madre at the good old LOTO (for those who do not know what this means, Google it.)  ;-)  It never fails that on one of these trips, I am reminded somehow of how different the culture up here is.  For instance, once I hit Osage Beach, I was passed by a Grandma in a "pimped out" purple and silver GTO...who was jamming out to rap music with her hair done, sunglasses on and flashed me a huge smile on her way past my car.  LOTO.  :-)

And where else can you find a Godfather's Pizza AND a Subway all connected to the same gas station?  LOTO.  :-)

Don't get me wrong.  I love it here and was raised in the area.  However, some of the things around here are just not found anywhere else BUT here.  It just made me laugh and smile a bit.  Especially the really cool Grandma in the GTO.  

Gotta love LOTO.
