The JEEP is being laid to rest. Doesn’t look too good for the Olds’- now we are cursed with finding 2 vehicles-bleh! The only thing I hate shopping for more than cars is bathing suits! We still do not know who the fugitive from the scene of the crime is…I haven’t seen the accident report and my insurance co hasn’t received a copy yet either. We can go to the station and look at a copy and write anything we want down from it but to actually obtain a copy one must take a trip to City Hall.

If I don’t get back on here before this weekend hope everyone enjoys their holiday!

So, yeh, today the JEEP broke down. I really don’t have much more to say about that.

 

Run Away March 17, 2008

Why couldn’t it have been the JEEP? Yes, yes I know be careful what you wish for…in the wee small hours of the morning yesterday my husband’s car got smoked while parked across the street from his bar. The guy that hit it got out of his car and ran away. I am crossing my fingers he or the owner of the car he was driving has insurance. When the cop reached inside the car and pulled out some piece of ID he said “Oh shit.” Seems he knew the guy for some reason. Guessing he was a cop or affiliated with the police or perhaps wanted for some reason. My husband’s car wasn’t the only one hit, he hit another car and something outside the bank there as he went up over the curb. I do thank my lucky stars my husband wasn’t walking to his car at this time. The other irony (besides the fact we are getting ready to get rid of the other car) is that he rarely parks across the street. It’s always something.

 

Honesty-such a lonely word March 11, 2008

Every election the E-Mails start circulating. We have some very politically passionate people in our family-in the last few days I have received about a dozen e-mails debating Obama V Hillary. Usually I put my 2 cents in but this year (as I said before) I just don’t know WHAT to think. Thankfully the e-mails are in good form and healthy debate-sometimes even amusing. Usually my gut tells me something but this year I am not getting any kind of vibe. It’s mostly due to the debacle TWO elections ago (last time I said one-oops guess the Bush administration is wearing on my sense of time) and then there was the Dean debacle that disheartened me. We were discussing this at my Aunt’s house last week. All agreeing that the reason he was ousted was plain stupid. He got excited and made, I guess an odd noise, and his campaign lost all hope as if he was some kind of criminal or social reject. My cousin also pointed out something I had not heard before nor thought about but he was making this jubilant noise in a very loud crowd, if it were not edited out it would have been very normal. It is due to things like this that I really am always reading between the lines wondering what is real or true, aside form facts like so & so graduated form such & such and grew up in where-ever-ville, I even question so called facts in my mind-which is why I usually go with my instincts-which like I said-not kickin’ in this time around. I am actually thinking of a write in of Mickey Mouse on my ballot-hey he speaks many languages and is great in foreign affairs-but his laugh is kinda odd-he’d never make it.

 

For the love of God where is that Mercedes Benz I asked for?! March 10, 2008

Many posts ago I asked for one and I haven’t received an answer to my plea…yet. This week two things fell off the outside of my jeep. I shut the trunk and the part that has the license plate with lights fell right out.I just shrugged my shoulders and drove away-license hanging off by wire and all.  Today I go out and the black strip on the side that is like oh I dunno 2 feet wide and 3 or 4 feet long had fallen off…it is literally falling apart. I know, I know I have to go looking-I just hate the whole car buying crap. We will need a van with #3 on the way. My fear is in my procrastination of this task I will pull to a stop at a red light someday and the entire thing will fall apart around me leaving me with just seats and a steering wheel.

 

Easy Access March 9, 2008

Do you ever sometimes feel like people have way too much access to contact you and if they can’t get a hold of you they actually get annoyed. I had a lady call me about making an appointment last week. I couldn’t take the call because I was on my other line and didn’t want to interrupt that conversation so I didn’t answer my cell when that rang either-she left a message in a completely disgusted tone that she had called me on my phone and NOW she was trying my cell and I didn’t answer that so she would HAVE to leave me a message. Heaven forbid. At the same time I later realized I was getting IM’s and text messages and of coarse many e-mails. I’m so popular. Anyway, it just struck me that perhaps there are too many ways to contact people anymore. Not that I don’t usually enjoy these modern I guess you would call them conveniences but goodness was overwhelming at the time.
