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

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 ...

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

Everyone is Having Kids

Yesterday, one of my roommates from the Burbank years gave birth to a little girl. This is her third child. While I am so completely happy for her this happy celebration has gotten me thinking about children and nosey people who ask me when I am going to have them. Some might think this subject is it too personal for blog talk but I figure if people want to bud into my business by asking me about kids then I can bud into yours by talking about them. I realize that I am physically old enough to have kids but being physically old enough isn't enough for me. Today, as I looked at my friend's blog describing her birthing experience, I realized the only reason I am thinking about children so much lately is because so many darn people are asking me about them. Every single friggin day I run into "Patty" at work. I have known her for a very long time and while I know she was super happy for me when I got married, I am so not happy about her enthusiasm about me having bab...
