top 10 reasons I love living in Jefferson County

10. When all the big boxes from the holiday aftermath start piling up...it's perfectly fine to throw them in the backyard and catch them on fire...no need for recycling out here!

9. no "mall traffic"...because there is no mall....

8. When trouble starts a brewing and you have to call for help because someone keeps stealing the stocked mini-fridge that is bolted inside the outside cabana bar...you get to call the sheriff...no police station in Imperial...just the sherrif... with the big ol sherrif hat who is very much like Roscoe P. Cotrain from Dukes of Hazard

7. We are the Meth Capital of the United States...hey at least we're famous for something...right?

6. I am never lonely because everywhere I go someone strikes up a conversation with me...and I am talking lengthy converstaions...usually with drunks at the gas station

5. All the country roads = no plowing= more snow days :)

4. 4 wheelers and golf carts are prefectly acceptable modes of transportation

3. I have a wide variety of indoor shooting ranges to choose from.

2. I got selected as the jury foreman my very first time I was called. I think it may have been due to the fact I was one of the only ones there with all of my teeth

1. I can roll out of bed and go to the store in my jammies with no make up and a severe case of bed head and still be the hottest person in the store...

ha ha...those of you who know me well know how much I dislike it out here...I am still venting about not getting phone, internet and cable! I'll get over it soon. I have been out here for almost three years now, and I must admit that is is growing on me...but after visiting relatives in St. Peters...it makes me miss my old neighborhood.
