Note to Dealerships

So the hub and I went out looking for cars today. We drove to Glendale row where all the dealerships display their shiny new cars. It must have been a hard year cause we discovered that the GM lot we went to was closed and so was the Chrystler/Jeep lot. Both replaced by used car lots. Then we went to the Chevy Dealership and all they had were a lot full of $40,000 Camero's and $30,000 Traverse's and oh yeah a ton of SUV's that get 12 miles to the gallon. I was really disappointed. The Chevy website advertises a ton of cars from the $10K spectrum to the $90K spectrum and I only saw three cars on this lot. Ummm how yah suppose to sell cars?? We were very disappointed we couldn't even look at the cars we were interested in. I also forgot how annoying car salesmen can be. I absolutely hate it when you go in a store and a salesperson buzzes around you. So imagine my disgust when car salesmen started to approach us. The hub decided to take a reverse approach "buyer approach" with the salesmen and tried to be the salesman to the salesman. He did a pretty impressive job with the Toyota salesman who wins the award for wearing his pajamas to work. I seriously couldn't even think about buying a car from"Dwayne" with his big purple striped ballooned pants and even bigger tie. Perhaps he was a clown in his last job or sold mattresses. Cause that was Dwayne a cross between a mattress salesman and a clown. Even at Toyota we were disappointed we couldn't test drive the #3 Prius Model. They only had one #2 and plenty of #4's. The 4's of course were like $33-$40K ea. Haven't these car places heard there is a bad economy out there? I am not paying $30-40 thousand dollars for a friggin car. And I am not buying a super expensive 12 mile per gallon SUV. Hey Stupids why don't you stock the cars you advertise on your websites? It's a novel idea. Anyhoo, after a wasted hour and a half in the blistering sun trying to ward off stupid pajama wearing Dwayne and his greasy smile we went to get some Thrifty ice cream and came home. I was super tired from all my cleaning and landscaping earlier in the day so I stayed home and took a nice two hour nap while the hub went out once more to a new area to search for a car. He isn't home yet. I told him to call me if he even thinks about signing papers for a new car. I have to protect him from stupid Volkswagen Salesmen! hehehe

Random Thoughts as the Weekend Closes

Today I got a friend request from my mother-in-law. Will she embrace the FaceBook? We wait and see. Technology is cool...I got to speak to my friend in Hong Kong today. The BlindSide is a really heartwarming and good movie. I didn't know what to expect. I saw Sandra in blond hair and I thought cheesy. Now I can't decide whether I want her or Meryl to win the Oscar. Cats are really nice creatures. I haven't really had much exposure to one before. I especially like the fact that you can hold them like babies. I wonder if I stole Mr. Chuckles if anyone would notice? hum. Bartenders blowing fire makes for an interesting drink at the bar. Plantains are better when they come with your meal and not as an appetizer. I met a man who wanted to see Leap Year. Krueger continues to take jobs that suck ass and take up her precious time. Sorry CougarTown screwed ur day up Krugs. We missed u at the movies today. Ever since I got Mo I have meet the most interesting people ...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Time Is Flying

Man, back in September and October, I thought time was going by so slowly but now that we are in November and half way through it, it seems like time is flying once again. Maybe that has a little bit to do with me being a lady of leisure these days. My doctor put me on bedrest for the remainder of my pregnancy. I went into his office all stressed out over the situation at work in early November and he said "this Friday, November 4th, will be your last day." I was like "Excuse me?" Doc put me on disability because stress is bad for the gestational diabetes I already have and for the apparent high blood pressure reading I had that day and some of my tests indicated I was at risk for pre-eclampsia. My new job, is to go to the hospital for neonatal stress tests, twice a week, on Monday's and Thursday's with a weekly OBGYN appointment on Thursday's after my hospital appointment. Throw in some eye doctor appointments with an eye specialist (apparen...
