Just Pass Me By

My husband brought something up to me over the weekend. We have gotten some new things, and need to talk to our agent about some of the new things. We possibly want to look at
tv insurance and insurance on his new laptop, and a few other things we have purchased. I am happy with our insurance company. My car hasn’t been raised other then when I bought a new car. Craig had a accident and that didn’t raise his insurance price neither, so we will stay with our insurance company. We are happy but it is time to reevaluate the renter insurance.

This weekend we was driving behind some guy for quite a while, he did a great job for about 60 miles. Suddenly he started driving erratic, my husband wanted me to pass him but I didn’t want to pass him. I figured he was driving fine for quite a while, and maybe something was wrong with him. Nothing was wrong with him, later he got off a exit and we saw why his driving had changed so drastically. He was talking on the cell phone. Now I have no problem with people who are talking on their cell phone, if they can drive safely and pay attention to the road. Frankly if you can not do this you should not be talking on the phone, because a car going to kill someone a lot faster than not speaking to a friend. I understand some people need to speak on the phone while driving and I often talk on the phone, but I stay in my lanes. If you’re driving and talking and not you lane or you go into another lane this is going to cause a accident. I am glad the guy was just simply talking on his phone and wasn’t having a crisis.
Cell phones are a good thing but they are not the best thing to have in the car at times. I personally like the hand free capability of my phone, because it allows me to wear an earpiece and answer the phone through that device. I like it a lot. Maybe our next trip should be for hubby to take a
Forex training seminars so he can learn about trading. Not that he would want too, but he always trying something new. He a bright man, I do most of the driving because I simply don’t like his driving and I am normally a very nervous passenger.

It’s time to renew my tabs on the car, and I don’t even want to open the envelop because I know it going to be expensive. I am glad I have a newer car, it great. I do not have to worry about breaking down often, or being nickel and dimed to death because the car decides now is a great time to break down. Since having the car, I have only broken down once, and that was the thermostat and had to replace the 2 front tires and will need to replace the back tires this month too. I might put it off until next month, or else I will do the tabs next omonth. I have until the 10th to pay it, as long as I do not go t0o far away from home or run into a policemen in a bad mood. Normally in MN they give a 10 day grace period. Honestly I much rather buy me a nice pair of
merrell shoes, or something and not pay for the tabs. The nice thing about the DMV office here I never have a long wait and they are always nice to deal with, I do not think I have ever ran into a unpleasant person there yet.
My 2 back tires are bad so I think for safety I might need to replace those, and not the tabs this month. At least my insurance is not to much more then on the old van. So this car has saved me a little money, and boy I really do like it. I think I will always be a Kia fan.

My hubby was adopted, and this weekend I have to meet his mom. I already met his half sister. I really liked her when we first met her; she is very kind and giving. We meet her husband too, and her dad. I was very impressed with her family, because they are all a great group of people. Don’t ask me if they had any door chimes I have no clue, the door was pretty much open before we could even try anything. We went down for the oldest baptism. Even though the hotel stay was not good the visit was great. I was able to relate to his mom, and thank her for having him. It was a hard thing she did and took a lot of courage for a woman her age, so it shows the strength she had and has.
So over all this weekend was fun and it was nice meeting everyone in his family. I am even proud of shadow, she got along great with her dog.

Today one of the brats was yelling at the dog again. She was calling the dog bad dog, so I turned around and told her, “That dog isn’t doing anything wrong, so leave her be.” The dog was simply going potty and well she would be a bad dog if she did it indoor. I do not understand why parents can’t teach other kids to leave people alone and mind their own business.
Then again what do I expect they are always yelling in the hallway and if it keeps up I might need to report it to management because enough is enough. I mind my own business and try to be nice to people who I leave around and I clean up the dogs miss no complaints at all. I also clean up after other people animals, so being yelled frustrates me. I was never allowed to yell at anyone that was an adult as a child. My mom would not have put up with that behavior for two minutes.
The only time I was allowed to yell was in I was wearing kids costumesfor Halloween or when I was in danger and there was a need for me to get help.

So where I am I staying that I will not stay at again, the Day’s Inn in Worthington Minnesota, on Hwy 59.
I am a little disappointed, I honestly have to say that I have never enjoyed my stay at a Day’s INN. Don’t get me wrong the rooms where clean, and housekeeping did a great job at it. But Customer service I would rate a 1 on a scale of 1 to 10. I am not happy at all with their call center or hotel customer service. This was the case the last time I stayed at a days inn. I will never stay here again. So why am I annoyed, okay I
Online Schools degree in Busines management and you’d think these people would have my text book knowledge down pat. They do not.
First it started with customer service to get a room, for my husband and dad and a room for me. Well I explained to the guy that dad was 88 years old and had a mental health dog that would be staying in a room. This was fine. No problem. The problem came when it was time to finalize the reservation, they deducted the money out of my account right away and did not tell me it would be withdrawn immediately. Fine I have the money in my account it would have been nice to know this so I could have transferred money over form saving to cover, checks if any came through which I had one outstanding. It didn’t go through so I was fine, plus I asked a question about when it would go through my account. I am glad I did this had I not I would have overdrafted my account. Okay fine we got the rooms 2 weeks in advance.
Now we get to the hotel last night, we find out there a 10$ pet fee, okay no big deal. I forgot Dad’s papers for the dog, and Shadow stayed with me. My husband and my rooms where spread far apart. Okay I have the dog I am fine, if someone miss with me she will make nose.
The problem with my room is I asked for non-smoking and expressed to the call center that I have a smoke allergy and it’s important I not be in smoking or near it. Well they placed me right next to a chain smoker, so my breathing has gotten worst. I came here with a start of a allergy attack and now I am in a full blown allergy attack. I can barely talk.
They have deactivated my card, just about every time I leave the room. I am frustrated and stressed by this because I fight to get back in my room and have to go to the office. The same happened to my husband today they deactivated his card to his and dad room. So I am just simply disappointed in the quality of service here. I am actually looking forward to go back home, even though i really enjoy my husband sister and his bio mom who i meet today.
On a positive note, I will say again the room was clean, and I have no troubles with the room

Now since we got a tv my husband and I seem to really like, they are coming out with
projector reviewsfor the same thing. Well I think it’s great they have this technology started but I think I would rather stick with my tv. In school and at my congration they use projectors and I always see on most of them time to change the
Projector filters, and those are probably pretty easy to replace but they seem to need replacing often. Maybe people just don’t change them at all until it stops working which isn’t good because projectors are expensive. I do like that most of them come with
Projector remotes which makes it a lot easier to use and quicker to turn them on. Most places put them on the ceiling so you have to have a remote. Question is where would it go in the apartment and what kind of
projector cleaner would I need to use we got one. I am sorry the lens needs to be cleaned too.

Well my allergies are so bad this year, I have had to take at least 3 different allergy meds, and right now, I am on more than that for simple relief. My throats been bugging me, I know this is allergies because all my pain is by the sinuses in where the nose and throat met. I also know because every time I seen the doctor when I thought I caught something from the kids, I get told allergy flare up. I do not want to be on Prednisone, which they like to put me on when I start breaking out from my allergies. I know how to deal with it, and the frustrating thing is I have more troubles with my allergies when I have the A/C on. My hubby doesn’t seem to get I do not like A/C because it seems to help irritate me more.
So today, I had to run to target to get some more allergy meds and throat drops to help soothe the irritation. The nice thing about everything I got I didn’t have to look to make sure a
barcode scanner was available for me to use to find the prices. Some places you have to hunt down the prices and it nice that the target I go to I normally do not have to look. After target, I had to run to the grocery store and then back home and I am already tired out. I worked today and setting up before our children was hard for me because when allergies get this bad breathing is harder, even my coworker said something. Normally I do not get out of breath to much when moving stuff around, but today I did. Guess I might want to find where my rescue inhaler is I might need it.

The last couple of days on my way to work I am starting to wonder if my car is invisible. I do not get it, everyday I go to my job in the cities I get cut off or just about ran over by someone running the same stop sign. Same one that’s been there for a long time since I have moved in the area. I am sure it’s been there since before this because it a stop sign for a highway off ramp. At least no one was in the other lane and I was able to move over quickly. I wonder what the spirometers would have ranked my breathing as, because I held my breath for a few minutes.
It is amazing, how people in big cars feel the need to run lights or stop signs when they have a smaller car, I am sorry I do not feel like having any accidents or being killed by someone who being a idiot.

Dad birthday is this week, and I am not sure what to get him, maybe I can look for something cool on a
online auction, or I go to one of our art stores. Dad really likes coloring or watching me paint by numbers so I could do that, the end of the month we are going down south so maybe we can tell him that his present. I have no clue what to get him or what he will enjoy. He seems to be happy with his coloring, I got him coloring that has the black soft stuff on it a couple weeks ago and he does that a lot so maybe that will be the best thing. He will be 88 years old. So this is good. If he lives to 90 we will have to throw him a big bash. I know some of my friends feel birthday are not important or ought not to be celebrated but I just disagree with this. I think it important to celebrate our birth to some extent because G-d gave us a other year and because I lost my father at 17 years old and will never get to celebrate another year with him.
So dad birthday is important, so is my hubby birthday.
