"You think it was bad when you were pulling all-nighters in college? Don't worry, it gets worse."
Book Title: Don't Worry, It Gets Worse
Author: Alida Nugent
Pages: 290
Genre: Humor/Essays
Publisher: Plume (Penguin)
Date Published: May 7th, 2013
Date Read: May 25th, 2014
Format: Paperback
Cover Love: It's cute! It's apt – you might look put together, but really you're completely messed up in the head. It's attention-catching, which all covers need to be.
Given Synopsis: "Alida Nugent graduated college with a degree in one hand and a drink in the other, eager to trade in parties and all-nighters for "the real world." But post-grad wasn't the glam life she imagined. Soon buried under a pile of bills, laundry, and three-dollar bottles of wine, it quickly became clear that she had no idea what she was doing. But hey, what twentysomething does?
In Don't Worry, It Gets Worse, Nugent shares what it takes to make the awkward leap from undergrad to "mature and responsible adult that definitely never eats peanut butter straight from the jar and considers it a meal." From trying to find an apartment on the black hole otherwise known as Craigslist to the creative maneuvering needed to pay off student loans and still enjoy happy hour, Nugent documents the formative moments of being a twentysomething with a little bit of snark and a lot of heart. Based on her popular Tumblr blog The Frenemy, Don't Worry, It Gets Worse is a love note to boozin', bitchin' ladies everywhere."
What I'd Add: It's actually a great blurb – definitely what the book is about!
It's Sorta Like: Now this one reminds me of Sloane Crosley's humorous essay collection, I Was Told There'd Be Cake. Which is an awesome book. It's one I'd consider a favorite because it did what I seldom do with books (even if they're flat-out fantastic): laugh out loud.
My Grade: B+
Not only did I want to read this because graduation season is coming up and I wanted to at least read some of my suggestions for gifts/have the possibility of actually gifting things that I read and approved to friends of mine who are graduating (If that makes sense. Anyway!), Nugent is also writing from a perspective that I'm particularly primed to hear. She writes this as a college graduate a couple of years removed from the school scene, trying to figure out how to support herself (i.e. not have to live with her parents forever), how to navigate romantic pitfalls like online dating, and things you learn in this particular workplace we call RETAIL. I too, am working in said work sector (Nugent has since found her way out, but her essays dealing with the scary universe of job hunting and the total crap you put up with when you take a retail job is spot-on and often genuinely hilarious), AND am trying to find a way to be self-sufficient AND not have to live with my parents forever.
The most important thing for a book of humorous essays, in my opinion, is that it matches your humor as the reader. You could have every other person say "Oh! But have you read David Sedaris/Chelsea Handler/Nora Ephron? They're my FAVORITE!" and you buy a copy, read a couple stories, and just not get it. I mean, technically, the same is true for fiction, but humorous essays need to be specifically relate-able. You have to see something in the subject matter that you at least somehow relate to. And the humor has to be right. If you're not into crude, drunken debauchery, don't read books like I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell (Tucker Max). If you don't get or don't use super sarcastic anecdotes, and you aren't around people who talk like that, then you might not appreciate this book and others like it.
Nugent's humor sat right with me. She talks like my friends and I talk when we're around each other, she portrays the very real fears and insecurities that we feel with a heaping spoonful of sarcasm (which is just how we like it served). I cannot claim to be a humorous essay connoisseur, but I have read a few that I've loved, and a few that I didn't get. The good ones made me laugh out loud. Often, in public. And I won't get embarrassed (not that laughing aloud while reading a book would be sufficient enough to embarrass me. I have experienced far worse in many a coffee shop and restaurant). Don't Worry, It Gets Worse had me giggling at work, in the passenger seats of cars, and had me reading aloud passages to friends and family.
And not only is the humor great, but the little gem of advice, the moral to every story, seems very genuine to me. Nugent makes you snort your soda through your nose, and then gets sweet. She makes you feel like she cares about you and your very real and normal fears. My favorite piece in the book is her spoof on inspirational graduation speeches, "It's Your Day, Now Let Me Talk". It's got all the great hallmarks of those YouTube-d speeches, with a heavy dose of self-deprecation, wit, and genuine good advice. Plus, it's where she takes her great title from.
I would have liked the book itself to be longer, maybe include a couple more stories, expand beyond some tropes that Nugent relies on a little too often (jobs, wine, and friendship…although on second thought all of those topics are pretty rife for storytelling). But overall I thought this collection was funny and relateable, which is exactly what you'd want it to be.

Pre Order DECEIT by AddisonJane & KE Osborn
The beautiful woman next door. There's something sexy about the way she watches me, eyes wide with an innocent curiosity. I find myself aching for her attention. I want her to look at me, but not when I'm covered in the blood of the man I just killed.
Excerpt Reveal, DECLAN by Caitlyn O'Leary
I dropped to one knee and stared at the little boy who looked like he might be sleeping amongst the dust and debris. Brushing off the bits of rock and rubble from his face, I picked him up and hugged him close. Despite all my prayers, I knew deep in my heart he was dead, like all the others in this God forsaken mess that surrounded me.
Excerpt Reveal. Marriage Games by CD Reiss
I'd stepped away so she didn't feel threatened, but my gaze was keeping her from relaxing. I kept my eyes on hers. I could smell her perfume and feel the shortness of her breath.

My name is Maggie May and I met him under a haze of purple lights. As cliché as it sounds he was tall, dark, and handsome as hell, and I had fireworks in my eyes…literally.

Instead of being greeted with warm smiles and reassuring hellos, Becca finds herself on the receiving end of icy stares and cruel whispers. Putting it down to her status as an outsider, she holds her head high, because they can't know.

Lovely...I like your writing, it's very poetic. I mean, knowing it was a poem, but not a lot of people I know can do what you've done here. I think you've really captured the spirit of the Trigun series. :D Good work, my friend, good work.
| Jaina chapter 1 . 8/1/2002
Hee! I was wondering if you'd ever write anything Trigunny! This is very nice, actually. I'm normally not big on fan poetry, but you've realyl captured some of the angsty sentiment of the series. I particularly like the lines about the results of love and peace and the end of a gun. Nice!

San Diego's spirit of serviceEpiCenter Saturday, February 12th, 2011
Commentary: EpiCenter
One of the remarkable things about the San Diego LGBT community is its spirit of service. A spirit born out of a desire to help those who have been less fortunate for no reason other than "it's the right thing to do." The number of individuals who create events, projects and activities designed to help or provide much needed funds and service is innumerable and most of us never know all the names of those involved.
Metro Area Real Estate Professionals for Young Adult Housing (MARYAH) is one such incredible group. A group whose sole goal and purpose is to help raise the funds needed to give some of San Diego's highest risk, homeless LGBT young adults a chance at housing, and hope.
In 2005, The Center opened the Sunburst Youth Housing Project (YHP), an innovative program providing 23 units of supportive housing for homeless youth age 18-24, with an emphasis on LGBT and HIV-positive youth.
One of the first projects of its kind in the United States, YHP offers access to stable, affordable housing, health care services, case management, life skills training and more. This combination of housing and services provides a path to greater independence, eventually enabling residents to move on and maintain stable housing on their own. It's an important project that requires a great deal of support, and today this type of housing program is the model for housing high-risk, homeless populations across the United States.
Even before the Youth Housing Project opened, a group of San Diego real estate professionals established MARYAH with the simple goal of providing an ongoing source of funding for this critical program. Since that time, MARYAH has been dedicated to raising funds for the Sunburst Youth Housing Project, mainly through their three annual events – the MARYAH Poker Tournament, the Spring Soiree and the Harvest Howl. Over the last six years, they have raised nearly $200,000!
Current board members Larry Cory, James Crandall, Sean Current, Amy Driscoll, Richard Gutierrez, Jeff Nix, Jim Hush, Mark Kunce, Ashley Lunn, David Muscat, Lori Northcutt, Mike Paganelli, Ivan Solis, Jr., Ken Tablang and Richard Woods are committed to continuing MARYAH's mission of raising awareness and operating funds to help provide for our community's homeless youth. We are deeply grateful for their generosity and their untiring efforts to make a positive and lasting difference in these young people's lives.
If you'd like to help MARYAH in their mission, then don't miss the Third Annual MARYAH Poker Tournament on Thursday, March 3, at Top of the Park. Enjoy a Vegas-style poker tournament, players' lounge, blackjack tables, hors d'oeuvres, no-host bar and valuable grand prizes and giveaways.
Poker seats are $40 and spectator-only guest tickets are $15. The doors open at 5:30 p.m. for mixing and mingling and the tournament starts at 6:30 p.m. If you register online early, you'll get an extra $500 in chips. To register, or to find more information on this event, visit maryahpoker.org.
To learn more about MARYAH, contact Richard Woods at 619-347-9866 or email@example.com, or Ivan Solis at 619-804-9000 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
To learn more about The Center's Youth Housing Project, visit The Center's website at thecentersd.org. Questions about eligibility and services may be directed to Denice Williams at firstname.lastname@example.com or 619-255-7854, ext. 102.

text: I'm considering trading my December 2015 90D for a P90D. Has anyone traded in to Tesla after such a short period? If so, would you mind sharing the price you paid initially vs. what Tesla offered you on the trade-in? You can PM too if you prefer. My 90D was right around 100k pre-incentive, so I'm trying to gauge how bad of a hit I'd take. Car has only like 4500 miles and has been opticoated/Xpel'd, for whatever that's worth.

Hello lovelies!! Having finished my first essay, I'm squishing in some roundup time before I start the next one 🙂 Lots of goodies this week, so lets go!
I have the same birthday as Sabrina the Teenage Witch! (She's older than me though, haha! Sabrina the 30-something witch doesn't have the same ring to it….)
I've given in and finally got a microwave, so now I can make Mug Muffins! Is that a good enough excuse for having halted my microwave boycott??
Wow. These star trails are amazing. Ah, I miss Australia.
Related, Safiya found this gorgeous timelapse video of the night sky.
I had gradient nails this week, and next week I think I might try vintage clouds…
I'm debating whether or not to renew my gym membership. I bought Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred DVD a while ago, and I'm thinking that maybe I could just do that and get some apps on my phone rather than forking out for the gym when I barely have time to go… opinions? Recommendations for android apps gladly received!! I've got Runkeeper and a 50 pushup thing, but I need some actual help to get to this. Haha.
Ooh, also, if you're in the Colchester-ish area, check out Avani Beauty. The code "RIZ023" gets you 10% off of all treatments and therapies too 🙂
Jenna Marbles is my new favourite thing. here's why:

Below freezing. Icy roads. Kids building snowmen in their front yard. Cars burning snow brown as they barely inch up steep, icy hills.
Where in the world could we be?
I'm thinking that your first guess was PROBABLY not Alabama….but…hello Alabama! But let me back up a bit…
So far we have stayed in NYC for a couple of nights, doing a WOD of 75 burpees in Central Park for time, and finding a lone pull-up bar where I FINALLY got more than one unbanded kipping pull-up! The trick? A quick hip thrust!
After NYC we headed down the eastern seaboard to Virginia Beach where we ate the TASTIEST food as we looked out at the ocean. We seriously had the nicest, most talkative waiter EVER who loved to make his presence known each time he came over with "Okay, talk to me Goose" in his little Virginian accent 🙂 That night, we stayed in Roanoke Rapids, NC. Southern nickname count for the day: 4. There were a couple "sweethearts" "sugars" and "maams" 🙂 Love the south.
Next stop? HOTlanta! Well, actually Marietta, GA. We stayed with the lovely Tyler and Erin, had some drinks in downtown Marietta, nearly lost function in our toes due to the FREEZING temps and a long walk home from the bar, got a tour of Life University, went to a truly southern Christian church (which was AMAZING!!!) and ate some tasty southern BBQ! mmmmmm. Sweet tea? TOOOOOO sweet. Pretty much forced to say you want sweet tea though when you walk in a restaurant.
Onward to 'Bama; Birmingham to be exact. We stayed with some of Nick's friends in Birmingham, and got to hang out with them and their dog Buster and two year old, Carter Man! 'Bama was not what we expected. I'm not sure what I thought it would be like, but hilly and freezing was NOT where I was going with my thoughts..
That brings us up to speed…here we are on the road leaving 'Bama, on our way to NOLA (New Orleans :)). Can we just take a minute to address the fact that I have constantly questioned…what the HECK were we thinking packing shorts? I honestly thought, ohhhhh the south will be sooo warm…um…I'm looking at the temperature outside right now, and its 34 degrees…34 DEGREES! To be fair though, the cold has literally been following us. It's as if something is trying to make us turn back…mwaahhh hhaaa haaaa…you want to leave the cold? Well take this! Well, with 1494 miles under our belt, it's going to take a little more than an inch of snow to derail us now…although, it seems that that is literally all it will take to derail multiple vehicles from the Alabama highways…
So, with 1494 miles under our belt, what are we doing to work off all that pent up energy? Rest stop WODS 🙂 Literally EVERY SINGLE TIME we stop for gas or a full bladder, we do SOMETHING; anything from 50 squats to a WOD of 25 box jumps onto a park bench, 20 pushups and then another 25 boxjumps. I have been SOOOOO sore the whole time we've been traveling!!! Yesssssss!
So, we thought it would be fun to do a little hotel reviews at the end of each post…so, the first of multiple reviews…Sweet Stays with Nick and Jen!

dreemz uf a absulushun
Silver the Hedgehog
Age: 19
Hair Colour: Well....silver.
Eye Colour: Yellow
Special Abilities: Psychokinesis
Occupation: Mailman
Favourite Food: Coffee
Favourite Movie: Doesn't remember, hasn't seen a movie since Blaze...
Weapon of Choice: Whatever he can pick up and launch at people
Silver came to Mobius from the future with his best friend/girlfriend Blaze many times to help Sonic save the world. This constant time travel began to cause Silver to lose his mind, transforming from being slightly dependent on Blaze to being completely unable to live on his own, as well as forgetting important details such as his life before time travel. Because of this, Blaze agreed to stay in the present with him, taking care of him and helping him learn how to be self-reliant again. This all changed when one night while they were out on a walk together, Blaze was hit and killed by a drunk, speeding Shadow. Witnessing this event caused the already mentally fragile Silver to spiral into a major depression which affected his life enough to cause him to lose his job and be admitted into the Green Hill Mental Asylum. He would later be locked alone in a padded cell due to his violent outbreaks, fed protien shakes and administered untested trial medications for three years, until being rescued by an unwitting Amy. After escaping, he began to remember more and more, and currently resides in a small one-bedroom apartment; hiding from the asylum workers, living on coffee and increasingly ineffective antidepressants and spending his free time with a trashcan he uses as a stand-in for Blaze.
Silver is very anxious and frightens easily, and is usually gentle, but whenever he feels very depressed or threatened and angry, he adopts an out of control, violent, homicidal persona he calls Killver. Killver is incredibly focused, not hesitating to use his telekinesis to destroy anything in his path to get his revenge. Luciky, Silver is able to regain control most of the time before anything major happens.

We have to say – this is a pretty stunning accomplishment.
French filmmaker Mathieu Weschler has invested two years creating what we believe to be the first feature-length (88 minutes) machinima movie made in the world of Grand Theft Auto IV.
The "trashmaster" divides his time between collecting garbage and cleaning up other forms of trash fouling up New York City's streets: dealers, small-time criminals... When the dancers in his favourite strip club are mysteriously killed, the trashmaster finds himself hot on the trail of a particularly twisted serial killer.
Kudos to M. Weschler – and enjoy, all

As usual, the anti-gun fools are aiming in the wrong direction. Instead of aiming at ILLEGAL gun owners, they talk about "gang activity," which is mostly done by kids too young to legally own a gun in the first place, and cite "the too easy availability of guns" as the problem, ignoring the fact that the guns involved are ILLEGALLY owned. They talk about the trivial reasons for the shootings, again ignoring the "gang culture" that demands killing for all "Disses," no matter how slight, real or imagined. When they figure a way to keep underage gang members from getting guns, maybe we'll listen to them.
HILLARY IN A BIKINI: At least, that's what the Daily Caller headline promised. Although I wouldn't particularly want to see Hillary in a bikini, the idea was interesting that there was even such a thing. So I looked. There were a series of pictures of beautiful women in bikinis and, buried among them was ONE of Hillary dancing with Bill on the beach wearing a VERY modest swim suit, showing her big rear end. Nothing NEAR her in a bikini. Sometimes I wonder about some of these Daily Caller "slideshows."
THEY'RE ALL THE SAME: Islamic terrorist bunches wear many names, as all Islamics seem to do. Every man has more than one name, and apparently so so Islamic terrorist organizations. Our politicians treat each one as a different bunch, although they're ALL Islamic terrorists. Their names include, al-Qaida, ISIS, ISIL, Taliban, Boko Haram, HAMAS, etc., depending on where they operate. But they're ALL "Islamic extremists" and terrorists, so why separate them into different groups?
ENCOURAGING AL-QAIDA: A dispatch from "Freedom force" says Obama's foreign policy has "only encouraged and enabled al-Qaida." Surprise, surprise! Those of us who THINK have known all along that Obama is on their side, and he WANTS to "encourage and enable them." So what's new? He won't even call them what they ARE! Many people think he's stupid because of that. I think that's all part of his scam and it's working perfectly.
WHAT A HYPOCRITE! Leonardo DiCaprio, who is an ardent environmentalist, got an award the other day. So he got on his private airplane in France and flew 8,000 miles to New York to get it, than another 8,000 miles back, spewing who knows how much pollution into the air? It's like other environmentalists who fly thousands of miles to go to their "meetings" on how to "reduce pollution." These people are the biggest hypocrites in the world. Global warming is a scam and people are finally beginning to realize that.
LOW PRICE OF OIL: That's what they're now blaming for the collapse of the socialist government in Venezuela. I predicted they'd find something other than socialism to blame for the faiklure. I didn't know what they'd use, at the time, but I knew it would be something. And they didn't let me down. Politicians in all countries are best at blaming things on something ELSE, other than what was the real cause, so they could continue to do the things that caused the collapse and make personal money and power from it.

After recovering from the excitement over the almost-disaster of buying plane tickets on-line, let's do some pillowtalk:
Yesterday I was checking out some posts on one of my favourite interior design web-sites; ApartmentTherapy.com, when I saw the following comment "Do Swedish people not use or need pillows?" on a post about a Swedish summerhouse and it made me think of the cultural differences of pillow use.
An American bed in Pennsylvania
In the US a bed doesn't seem to be entirely made until it is covered in pillows and shams. Sham is another American word that I had never heard (in the bed context) until I moved to Puerto Rico! It always makes me think of a scene in Sex and the City where Charlotte and her then-husband Trey are arguing while un-making the bed, pillow by pillow (or shams?)… It is quite a funny scene, even though they are discussing the serious subject of infertility, but the whole pillow&sham situation makes it silly.
So, no wonder that the American (I presume) reader of the Swedish summerhouse post thought that the pillow-less beds looked a little bare (see bedroom photo in the post linked above)! I guess that the pillows might have been removed for the photo shoot or maybe the people owning the house don't use pillows! In my family, both my parents sleep with very thin pillows, and I am always complaining that the pillows at home are useless (too flat).
In our summerhouse (guesthouse) we have both pillows and some decorative "shams" – but just one on the bed and two in the sofa
When I arrived to our furnished apartment here in San Juan, one of the first things I did was remove all the decorative pillows and shams that were covering the bed! I think that I counted to 8 pieces, and I was actually a little confused – which ones stay in the bed and which are to be removed when sleeping?
Some of the pillows and shams on the floor next to the bed before I gave up and hid them in a wardrobe
Don't get me wrong – I LOVE pillows and sometimes go under the name of "The Pillow Girl" (O's nickname for me). I need at least three pillows – two for under my head and one to hug while sleeping. O uses one… Recently we bought new pillows (memory-foam) and I tried twice to sleep on one – but it hurt my neck as it was too high. Funny, O now uses one of the memory foam pillows even though it is higher than two of our old feather-down pillows together.
However, you can call me lazy, but I don't want to spend 5 minutes every night removing stuff from the bed… We actually never use the bedspread (överkast), and just re-arrange the sheet (duvet when living in a cooler climate) and the pillows we sleep on in order to make the bed in the morning.
All these pillows are to be slept on – except for the "king-size" pillows behind the smaller pillows, that are used to cushion against the hard bedframe
Nevertheless, there is one place where I don't think you can have too many pillows and it is in the sofa! The other day when Saltis and I were sitting down for a cup of tea in their sofa, she made the remark that her husband always gets annoyed with all the pillows in the sofa and throws them on the floor – O does the same!! Is it a girl thing to like pillows?? What do you think – do you also have lots of pillows in your sofa?
And a question: In which European country do you have SQUARE pillows (for the bed)? In the US there is something called Euro-sham, which measures 26″ x 26″ (66 cm x 66 cm) and I am curious where that measurement comes from? I am trying to think of the different pillows I have slept on in different countries – they all seem to have been rectangular (usually longer than the Swedish ones, which are 50 x 60 cm).
For those of you who are interested in definitions:
Pillow: a bag or case made of cloth that is filled with feathers, down, or other soft material, and is used to cushion the head during sleep or rest
Sham: a cover or the like for giving a thing a different outward appearance: a pillow sham. A pillow sham is used for a pillow that is only decorative.
Cushion: a soft bag of cloth, leather, or rubber, filled with feathers, air, foam rubber, etc., on which to sit, kneel, or lie.
(source: Dictionary.com)
And American pillow sizes:
Standard: 50 x 66 cm (20 x 26″)
King: 50 x 91 cm (20 x 36″)
European: 66 x 66 cm (26 x 26″)
Spanish twin beds and a thin rectangular pillow can be seen on the right. I like how the chandelier is reflected on the wall in the photo. This is the room where we used to sleep, but nowadays we have our own room at O's parents' place.
And a funny pillow story to finish off:
In the autumn of 2002 some of my fellow masterini* and I, who happened to all live in Belgium, organised a reunion in Brussels. Among us, we managed to host everybody in our homes so nobody had to sleep in a hotel. I lived in a tiny attic apartment with a small bedroom + a sleeping loft, and we were 7 of us, so I had asked my Austrian friend T** to bring a mattress, since he was driving from The Hague.
The friends that I were hosting arrived from different corners of Europe, and T was a little late as usual. When he unpacked his car I asked him about the mattress. He said "Oh, I decided to not bring a mattress, but I brought my pillow"!! Well, the pillow was big (square when I think about it!) but a little small to sleep on, so I guess he wasn't that comfortable during the two nights he stayed at my place… But as the saying goes "as you make your bed, you must lie in it"! That he was utterly shocked by the fact that we were two Swedish girls and one Swedish guy sharing the sofa bed is another story 😉
*) Nickname for the students who have studied my Master's programme in Venice – it really should be masteroni after graduation but the Italian diminutive just stuck..
**) Austrian T was the one who took over my apartment in Brussels when I moved to Puerto Rico – but he has since then moved back to Vienna.

In light of loving God in Himself and loving others (through God's love, by God's love) the following citation from The Catechism of the Catholic Church. It is a beautiful reminder of our purpose in life. I pray every human can come to this acceptance of vocation even if we do not realize it by those terms--but that we get the gist, that we grasp that we can be transformed by His Love.
"1877 The vocation of humanity is to show forth the image of God and to be transformed into the image of the Father's only Son. This vocation takes a personal form since each of us is called to enter into the divine beatitude; it also concerns the human community as a whole."
Now, here in my cozy yet rough-hewn and barely livable hermitage, I continue to rest on the mattress while the physical pain of this mortal frame gradually subsides. Perhaps tomorrow I will be up more and back to the manual labor. I admit that I've asked the Lord if this type of work and existence is the purpose He desires of me. Then I remind myself that Jesus and His dad were carpenters; it is good work. While waiting for health and the inner motivation to proceed in the temporal, I pray and ponder and hope you readers are remembering how much God loves each of us.
God bless His Real Presence in us! Remain in His Love!

My friend Christina has started a little Friday fun by jotting down the funny things her cutie little girl has said over the week, and since I'm all about themes, and topical days (it gets me out of a jam when I don't have time to find real stuff to write about!) I thought I'd join in today.
I've been saving a couple funny things Em and Ad have been saying and I really want to get them down somewhere so I don't forget them.
So here goes – my funny Valentines…
Addie's funny words and phrases:
ahind = behind, as in "Mama! Look ahind you! There is a puppy!"
yook = look, as in "Yook at me, Mama!" Must also grab my chin and turn my head towards her when saying this.
musbash = mustache, as in "Do I have a musbash, Mama?" Said every time she takes a drink of something, not always a milk mustache, either.
Emma's funny phrases:
knick-knack name = nickname, as in "What is your knick-knack name, Daddy?"
And, the other day she asked me – "Mama? Is Addie pushing your buttons right now?!"
And a couple of funny stories from Addie and my "day out" together the other day:
Addie: "Mama? Can we go to the puppy/kitty store (what she calls PetSmart)?"
Me: "Sure. I have one more errand to run, and then we will stop, ok?"
Addie: (sighs) "Ah, Mommy. Do you know how happy that makes Addie?"
(I tell them all the time when they do something *nice* – "Do you know how happy that makes Mommy?" but it sounds very funny coming back at me!)
And one more…
We were going into a bathroom at a store and an older gentleman was coming out and held the door open for A. and I. Then, later when we were leaving the store, he happened to be leaving as well and again, he held the door for A. and I.
Me: "Thank you so much! We are just going to follow you around all day so we can have the doors held for us."
Man: (chuckles) "No problem. I'm just doing my duty."
So A. and I continue down the street and all of a sudden she starts giggling…
Ad: "Mama…he said It's my DOODY!"
Me: (kinda clueless at the moment) "Yes, it means like a chore or a job."
And then I see her face and she is snickering at the word, because she thinks the man was referring to poop.
Where on God's-Green-Earth does that girl come up with this stuff? Never in my life have I ever used the word, "doody!
My girls seem to have missed the memo that says that only boys laugh at bathroom humor.

The harmonious
Note drifting in the summers
warm, refreshing breeze.
Tumbled and rumbled
to the listeners ear
the distraught conductor
flourishes his arms
forcing the volume
to rise, then sink
the final note
on that warm summers day
hovering, as the people play
their instruments,
their tools for joy
to them,
they are a children's toy
the note ends
the audience stands
They have finished
They are done.
They are relieved.
Once Upon A Time..

Once Upon A Time
Happy endings grew on trees
the world was you and me
and no matter what we did
no matter where we went
at least we knew we were together
Once upon a time,
every ending was the same old
fairy tale
relived again and again
but then we decided to break from that pattern
and create our own finale
Was it worth it?
Do you care?
Does it matter?
That what was there
is now lost to the world of never-mores and I wish that didn't happen's.
Once Upon a Time says fairy tale
But without happily ever after
what is left?
Of our lives?
Of you and me?
can it be, that
we no longer are friends?
One more time,
I beg you please
to make those leaves grow back on the trees
and write a new ending to this book called life
but unfortunately
nothing can be erased.
I don't know, just one of those nostalgic days.

In Dripalong Daffy, the immortal D. Duck sports a grotesquely outsized pair of chaps with two gun holsters attached. Fast-drawing his shootin' arns, he rips off the chaps, exposing his boisterous undershorts. His next line is the title of this post.
That's what I'm doing with this brand-new blog. Though the WordPress design system is as easy to use as advertised, I'm still lip-reading my way through it. Stay tuned for further electrifying improvements over the next few days (assuming you haven't got a life). I promised some simple word definitions to be used in this blog, but I'm trying to figure out how to stuff them up the left-hand column, so they'll stick around instead of sinking into the compost of aging epistles.
Meanwhile, how about embarrassment? Why is it so funny to some people and so painful to others (like me)? The audience all around me is creasing itself with laughter at the humiliation of some poor schlub on the screen, while I close my eyes and hum Rock of Ages to handle my acute physical response to this torture.

Have you checked your other pants pocket?
Amplify'd from news.yahoo.com
BAGHDAD – A U.S. audit has found that the Pentagon cannot account for over 95 percent of $9.1 billion in Iraq reconstruction money, spotlighting Iraqi complaints that there is little to show for the massive funds pumped into their cash-strapped, war-ravaged nation.
The $8.7 billion in question was Iraqi money managed by the Pentagon, not part of the $53 billion that Congress has allocated for rebuilding. It's cash that Iraq, which relies on volatile oil revenues to fuel its spending, can ill afford to lose.Read more at news.yahoo.com

Gold Stars all round
Both ponies got gold stars today, Conker hacked to the end of the drive, past some rogue plastic, took a "through the ears" shot of the scary landslide of doom, had a wee paddle then stood quietly to be untacked. She is a sharp filly but is as genuine as the day is long.
Doodle saw poles for the first time and had a wee jump, making a really nice shape over the fence.

The Splendid Sampler — Week 44
It's been a crazy week, but I actually got over half of the large blocks quilted and trimmed! Twenty-one to be exact. There's only 15 in the above photo, but there's another 6 blue blocks tucked away. Pretty good since we have family from Phoenix in this week and we've been showing them the sights!
I ran into a problem while quilting the white blocks. There are weird stitches. Kind of strange. Every few inches it's kind of a skipped stitch–too small to get a photo but big enough that when I showed Terry he saw it. I've tried different thread, different feet, different size needles. Cleaned the sewing machine. But it's still a problem. And it's only on that one fabric! So is it the fabric? And if so, I'm in trouble since I bought enough of that white to use for a quilt I'm making as a wedding gift!
Not sure what I'm going to do about that yet.
I'm planning on having all 30 blocks done by next week and starting to stitch them together.
Hang in there. This quilt WILL BE FINISHED.
someday somehow

Mark and I got to spend a few days visiting with this cute couple last week!
Aren't they adorable?! This precious photo was taken on one of our early morning walk at the mall.
Grandma loved the gingerbread sandcastle! It was pretty cool!
Mark and I had a wonderful visit with my dear parents!
They are as cute as can be, always cheerful, positive and so appreciative of every little thing.
When we picked up Mark from the airport, the first thing my dad did
was thanked us for a little gift that we gave them years ago.
It was such a little thing and so long ago that I don't even remember it.
But to my dad it was absolutely the greatest gift thing ever.
Every time we are with Grandma and Grandpa Olson,
they will remember something that we gave them
or something that we did for them and then thank us over and over,
until it's down right embarrassing.
They are always so incredibly grateful for any little thing that you do for them.
And they always make you feel like you are absolutely fabulous
and everything you do is incredibly amazing!
No wonder Grandma and Grandpa's house is always busy with family and friends visiting them.
You just got to love these two!
Speaking of love... they absolutely love and adore each other!
The way my dad gently holds my mother's hand, constantly stroking it,
while he tells us how wonderful she is and how lucky he is that she married him.
Their positive attitude and joyful hearts make growing old graciously look so easy!
I'm so glad that Mark and I were able to spend a few days visiting Grandma and Grandpa Olson!
I feel so much smarter, cuter, sweeter, and more clever than ever!
Thanks for the wonderful visit and for being so absolutely adorable!

At Last
After a whole lotta testing and talking, Curly's allergist is cautiously encouraging us to re-introduce tree nuts that are not the pernicious, treacherous macadamia nut. He's still of mind that the macadamia is evil, and Curly's Life With An Epi-Pen should continue to have an epi-pen in it, in case a malicious macadamia nut tries to get my baby.
I have to admit, it's more than a little unsettling to intentionally hand the kid food that, a month ago, would have had me doing a slo-mo dive across the room (complete with the slo-mo "Noo-oooooo-oo-oooo!") to snatch it away from her. When Curly asked for salted marcona almonds, I started to squirm with anxiety when she'd eaten about six, and asked her to stop. I told her that we could try macaroons the next day, but I needed a little time to ease back into a friendly relationship with tree nuts. Curly looked at me as if I was talking ca-razy (because… I was), but consented. Macaroons were being offered. So who cares if the chick offering them is a little whacked?
Still, the doctor okayed careful reintroduction of nuts other than the dreaded macadamia.
And by careful reintroduction of other tree nuts, I am quite confident he meant: give the kid some Nutella.

Speaking of things you do for your kids (&, BTW, trap every germ known to man is not one of the things you're SUPPOSED to do. Yes, that's a hint, for your lungs, if no one else), I managed to pull a calf muscle attempting to do true X-C fan stuff for the your IEN (who continues to live up to that billing, consuming a couple hot dogs at the ball game after the carbo-fest, and allowing on the way home as to how, yes a pre-bedtime Big Mac would be just right). Yep, he drops 30 secs. off his three-mile time, smashing the 17 min. barrier, and I pull a muscle. But he did get a medal (5th overall for a nine school soph. race) and the team got a plaque (3rd) out of it.

Between splitting wood, feeding the horses, hauling firewood and a bite to eat I managed to catch a glimpse of this beautiful peak to the North of us. Moose Valley leads to a number of steep granite towers with exposed rock faces. Snow will stick to the walls for a few days, then it will be blown off and show the brown underlying granite. The Kichatna Mountains are in this general direction, a remote range, visited by only a handful mountaineers. Further North is Mount Russell, a perfect pyramid, visible from hundred miles away, an image that follows me in my dreams.
Yesterday I tried my backcountry skis, on the runway! For the first time in many years I stood on backcountry skis.
"Free your heels, free your mind."
That quote makes me smile. Steve, a fantastic pinhead and an accomplished mountaineer, would drop that line once in a while. We carved a few fine lines in Utah's backcountry powder many winters ago. He would love this place, too. The snow is pure sugar, a pain to walk uphill, but boy on the way down, it just makes you grin insanely…
We got 8 inches of that light fluff in the last 2 days. Now the storm is hesitantly clearing, giving us glimpses into distant peaks and hills. It's been a pleasant 20 degrees Fahrenheit lately.

I went on holiday recently, the island was absolutely beautiful and the atmosphere was relaxed. The destination? Lanzarote.
I decided I wanted to write about it because it was just so amazing! I went with my uncle and his boyfriend, yes I said boyfriend. They were... for want of a better phrasing... a pair of queens. The boyfriend inparticular moaned about everything, from the heat to the sand. Apparently it wasn't white enough.
Whatever arsehole!
Anyhow. Despite the company I still managed to have the best of times and couldn't find one fault, although cockroaches are unpleasent I cannot blame the people or the place, they are just one of lifes annoying critters.
My uncle and I amused ourselves for a few hours when we walked past a supermarket selling exceptionally cheap rubber rings, like excited children we purchased some and made our way to the sea, after almost two hours paddling our way from one side of the beach to another, MY ring broke. It began to deflate I was sure I was about to drown. I didn't, obviously. Looking back it was funny, but at the time I was terrified. All my uncle could do was laugh. Charming!
As we were staying for two weeks (great two whole weeks with a pair of queens, just my luck.) We decided to go on a trip, one particular trip caught my eye and I decided I just had to do it. Fuetavetura ANOTHER canary island within boating distance and somehow even hotter then Lanzarote, it was beautiful also, but somehow didn't quite posess the atmosphere of Lanzarote, maybe because it was mostly full of Germans (no offense if you're German, but you do not make very good tourists)
The boat we used to go island hopping had a glass bottom resulting in the most amazing sights, the fish swam obvliviously as I snapped away. The picture, like the holiday, ended up much better than I thought it would. Despite the queens :-)

I'm a coward.
I was going to do an April Fool's joke, but it was rather mean and I just don't have the stomach for it. So instead I'll mention that I have joined the sheep and picked up a Twitter account. Baaaa. I doubt I'll do much with it besides post reminders for myself and hold the occasional conversation, but it's a new toy to play with. And it amuses me, at least for the moment.
Besides, with the way work is picking up, Twitter's a lot easier to dip into than LJ at the office!

It's that time of year again…yes, it's Daylight Saving Time! In the fall, we gain an hour of sleep, but in March, we "spring forward," losing a precious hour of the day. Here are three interesting facts on Daylight Saving Time, and how to not suffer from Daylight Saving Time sleep problems.
DST affects internal body clocks and sleeping patterns
Daylight Saving Time creates havoc with our internal body clocks and sleep patterns, which is why it's so hard to go to bed an hour earlier! Plan ahead, and prepare for the change a few weeks out. Put yourself and your kids to bed 15 minutes earlier starting a couple weeks beforehand. That way, when the time comes you and your family are rested and ready to take on the day!
Sleep deprivation affects cardiovascular health
Sleep deprivation is linked to several health problems including heart disease, obesity and even Type 2 Diabetes. In fact, one study proved there is a 5% increase in heart attacks the week of DST. Combat sleep deprivation by limiting caffeine and alcohol, especially during the week leading up to Daylight Saving Time. And don't forget to cut down on your screen time before bed, the blue light actually disturbs sleep.
Regulate sleep naturally by exercising outdoors
Sleep through Daylight Saving Time sleep problems by getting outdoors…it's that simple! Vitamin D can better regulate sleep, and while dairy products are one source, the easiest way to absorb Vitamin D is to soak up the sun. Combine your sunbathing with exercise and get a one-two punch! Exercise tires your body out, and it combats the risk of cardiovascular complications.

Fort Fisher has a temporary exhibit on the many Medals of Honor troops and sailors received at Fort Fisher. There is a permanent one on Colonel Lamb's "Cottage" located a mile north of the fort. He lived here with his wife Daisy and family. This exhibit includes two beautiful chairs taken from the stricken blockade runner Kate.
The museum also still has the the Confederate torpedo (mine) which washed up on the shore of the Cape Fear River back in the 1960s. I remember this torpedo from the first Fort Fisher Museum which was located at Battle Acre in a 40 by 40-foot shed.
The man told me that they had some 100 descendants this past weekend at the friends of Fort Fisher annual meeting and descendants reunion this past Saturday at Carolina Beach Courtyard by Marriott. This marked the 152nd anniversary of the Second Battle of Fort Fisher.
I really would have liked to have been there, especially since I was only about 50 miles away, but I had other things to do.
I am hoping to be able to attend the 153rd anniversary this coming January.

So teach us to number our days,
that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
Psalm 90:12
A new year, a new day planner. If the Lord permits me to live through them all, I see three hundred and sixty-five days simmering with possibilities. There are possibilities for work, ministry, play, and of course, all those unexpected things I can't control. I can schedule some of these things. Some will get canceled or rescheduled. Some will get done. Some may get forgotten or neglected. Some things I might want to avoid will have to be faced. I have no idea how all my planning will turn out, but one thing is for sure: I need the wisdom of God to count and spend my remaining time well because my days are numbered.
Moses knew well that man's days are numbered. He had been miraculously spared from infant death, providentially preserved and reared in the courts of Pharaoh, called and used of God to deliver the Israelites from Egyptian bondage and through the wilderness wanderings. During those forty years, Moses saw his rebellious brethren fall like flies, and outlived the great majority of them. In Psalm 90, this man of God gives reflections of his experience as he instructs us to look to the Lord so we can number our days and spend them well.
We need to ask the Lord to teach us to number our days because He is the eternal Creator. (verses 1-2)
Moses points us first to the Lord, who is the refuge and dwelling place of His people in all generations, including those who had to keep relocating camp in the desert. This is the eternal God. Moses had the same God that the patriarchs had, and that Noah and Adam had before them. This God witnessed and caused the birth of the mountains and the earth. He is God from everlasting to everlasting, without beginning and without ending, and is therefore not bound by time in the way His creation is.
By contrast, we are not eternal but have a beginning. We depend on Him, but He was doing just fine before we or any of His creation was made. Who better to teach us how to number our days and use our time well than the One who made us, the One Who predates and outlasts everything?
We need to ask the Lord to teach us to number our days because we are troubled transients. (verses 3-11)
Moses quickly turns from the God who is eternal, to created man, who is bound by time. Our days not only have a beginning, but they are numbered, seemingly insignificant, and full of trouble.
God sends man back to the dust from which he was made. Even if we lived a thousand years, as some of the patriarchs nearly did, it's like yesterday to God, like a brief portion of the night. Carried away like a flood, mowed down like grass, burned up by God's curse on sin, our lives seem like a disposable short story, quickly told and quickly forgotten. We may typically live seventy years, or eighty if our health is good, but the longer we live, the more sorrow we must endure.
We must acknowledge the role of sin in man's troubled existence. God created man, and man could have lived forever had he kept God's commands. But Adam and Eve sinned and plunged the whole human race into sin. We inherit a sin nature that includes us toward a rebellious independence, which we personally carry out as soon as we are able. Some of the difficulties we face are because of others' sins, but some are self-inflicted. God is a holy and righteous God and sin bears consequences proportionate to the devotion God deserves.
Life is hard and even if we become octogenarians or go beyond, our days are numbered. But that shouldn't drive us away from God. Rather, it should make us run to our eternal Creator, begging for His wisdom, and that's what Moses models.
We need to ask the Lord to teach us to number our days because He is a compassionate Redeemer. (verses 12-17)
Moses' reflections on the everlasting Creator and the troubles of transient man lead him immediately to cry to the Lord for help. At the heart of this plea is the confidence that He will have compassion and will help.
We too need to ask the Lord for help. We can grow discontent, bruised, and beaten, and need to be satisfied with His compassion and mercy so we can find our joy and gladness in Him. We can lose sight of what He has done, so we must ask Him to show His work to us, and His glory to our children. We can start to think that what we do has no meaning or legacy, so we must ask Him to favor us and direct and bless the work of our hands.
God ultimately shows us favor through His Son. In Jesus, we see the eternal God who became flesh and dwelt among us. He walked through this fallen world, suffering alongside His fellow humans and having compassion on them. The incarnate God-man spent His days in perfect wisdom. We see God's glorious work of redemption in the appointed hour of Christ's death on the cross and in His resurrection. We see the fruit of His labors in lives forever changed by His glorious gospel. In Him, we see death defeated, the curse reversed, and work made meaningful. He who loved us and gave Himself for us is He who redeems our days.
Our days are numbered, but if we are children of God through faith in Christ, their end will be a glorious transition into the fullness of the salvation Jesus has purchased for us. Until that day, let us look to Him so we do not waste our days, but make them count. As I reach for my day planner, and as I live each day, I want this to be my prayer: Lord, teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
Check out this musical rendition of Psalm 90 from Judy Rogers and Becky Morecraft: "Everlasting."

Saving Documents That You Lost
It can be pretty crappy.I actually deleted a paper that was due this morning and I deleted I got super mad.I went on google, THANK GOD FOR GOOGLE, and found a way to get it all back.
Problem: All my work disappeared!
One problem that can startle a writer is seeing everything disappear instantly. This happens if you select or highlight any portion of your work.
When you highlight a passage of any length—from a single word to a hundred pages—and then type any letter or symbol, the program replaces the highlighted text with whatever comes next. So if you highlight your entire paper and accidentally type a "b" you'll end up with only the single letter.
Solution: You can fix this by going to Edit and Undo. That process will take you backward through your most recent actions. Be careful! You should do this immediately, before an automatic save occurs.
Problem: My computer crashed Or my computer froze, and my paper disappeared!
Who hasn't suffered this agony? We're typing along the night before the paper is due and our system starts acting up! This can be a real nightmare. The good news is that most programs save your work automatically about every ten minutes. You can also set up your system to save more often.
Solution: It's best to set up for an automatic save every minute or two. We can type a lot of information in a short time, so you should save your work frequently.
In Microsoft Word, go to Tools and Options, then select Save. There should be a box markedAutoRecover. Make sure the box is checked, and adjust the minutes.
You should also see a selection for Always Create a Backup Copy. It's a good idea to check that box, as well.
Problem: I accidentally deleted my paper!
This is another common mistake. Sometimes our fingers act before our brains get warmed up, and we delete things or save over them without thinking. The good news is, those documents and files can sometimes be recovered.
Solution: Go to the Recycle Bin to see if you can find your work. Once you locate it, click on it and accept the option to Restore.You may also find deleted work by finding the options to Search Hidden Files and Folders. Files that are deleted don't really disappear until they are overwritten. Until then, they may be stored on your computer but "hidden."
To try this recovery process using a Windows system, go to Start and Search. Select Advanced Search and you should see an option for including hidden files in your search. Good luck!
Problem: I know I saved it, but I can't find it!
Sometimes it can seem like our work has disappeared into thin air, but it hasn't really. For various reasons, we can sometimes accidentally save our work in a temporary file or other strange place, which makes us feel a little crazy when we try to open it later. These files can be difficult to open again.
Solution: If you know you've saved your work but you can't find it in a logical place, try looking in Temporary Files and other odd places. You may need to do an Advanced Search.
Problem: I saved my work on a flash drive and now I've lost it!
Ouch. There's not much we can do about a lost flash drive or floppy disk. You could try going to the computer where you worked to see if you can find a backup copy through an advanced search.
Solution: There is a better way to avoid losing work, if you are willing to take preventive measures ahead of time. Each time you write a paper or other work that you can't afford to lose, take time to send yourself a copy by email attachment.
If you get into this habit, you will never lose another paper. You can access it from any computer!
Tips to Avoid Losing Your Work:
- If you're working on a lengthy paper, always send yourself a copy by email attachment every time you update it.
- Always save a few versions every time you stop working. Save one to an external drive and one to the hard drive.
- Get In the habit of choosing the Yes option when the computer asks if you want to save changes. There are very few reasons for selecting No, so think carefully about what you're doing every time you shut down your program.
- Sometimes we accidentally save two versions of our work, so one will be more updated than another. This can cause serious confusion. Avoid opening an old version that hasn't been updated by sorting your documents by Date when you open them.

Jim Elliot, a life we all need to be familiar with.
He wrote these words, before he died, trying to bring the gospel to the Auca Indians, sometimes known as the "Worst People on Earth".
3 years after his death, his wife and the wives of the other missionaries who were murdered, were instrumental in completing the task.
As the new year begins, I look into myself, and wonder . . . what am I struggling to hold on to, that perhaps, I need to let go of?

This week, we are out of the desert and into the water... I took these during a walk around the lake, late in the afternoon, last Monday.
Never fails to amaze me, how many different shadings I can see on the ducks at our local lake.
(Click on any photo to enlarge)
This little one had some interesting brown markings on it's head ..
This young lady paddled along beside me, around half the lake. She was obviously hoping that I had food in the pockets of my camera vest..
I loved this black and white duck....
These three had me amused for awhile.
The drake beside his mate, had one eye on me and the other on the drake behind him, who was valiantly trying to attract the attention of the female.
Every time he swam towards the pair, the other drake would drive him off with wings flapping and beak outstretched. Quite funny to watch..
Another one of my camp followers, a goose this time, who was hoping for a handout. He even came up out of the water at one point and plodded along behind me. :-)
Now go to CAMERA CRITTERS and join in the fun.

It's no secret I like to go out and stay busy. One of the most frequent comments I receive from triplet mom friends, strangers in public, and family is centered around how much we go out. Sometimes the comments are really positive like, "Good for you. I can't believe you're out with all of them." Some comments are rude, such as, "You need to keep those babies home. They're going to get sick." Either way, we go on our merry little way, exploring the world around us.
Last week I was complaining about the quad stroller and what a pain in the ass it is to load and unload the kids into. Jesse said, "You know you don't have to take them everywhere. What's the point? Do you remember anything from when you were two?"
His comment made me angry and caused me to second-guess my motives behind our outings. I vented with other moms and brainstormed reasons why it's so important to me that I take the kids out. Here's what we came up with:
Benefits for Children
- stimulates their minds
- provides different sensory experiences
- creates interest in things outside the home
- develops curiosity
- strengthens their immune systems
- shapes their behavior in public places
- builds an understanding of their community
- builds their vocabulary and language development
- keeps them physically active
- reduces social anxiety (hopefully)
- creates opportunities for social interaction
- expends energy
Benefits for Mothers
- increases independence
- provides variation/prevents monotony
- creates valuable memories with children
- creates opportunities to take pictures that can be shared with children later
- increases confidence level
- provides opportunities for social interaction
So...while my children may not have any recollection of what they are doing right now, I think it's important to expose them to books, music, people, exercise, different languages, etc. as early as possible. Going to the park, museum, library, rec center, aquarium, and so on, fills our days with a sense of adventure and makes our time together so much more enjoyable than if we stayed home and watched TV.
I'll conclude with pictures of us out and about at the museum today.
|Life is so much easier with self-feeders and a double umbrella stroller!
|Jack and Maddie taking turns driving the tractor.
|Maddie, James, and Amelia admiring themselves,
|before it turned into a wrestling match.
|Exploring colors, shapes, and textures
|Jackson discovering his new car seat has a cup holder.
"Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious...and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."
― Walt Disney

Houston loan modifications are rising. Houston area homeowners concerned about being able to pay their mortgages is on the rise. Even with home prices not having appreciated as much as some markets around the country foreclosures still plague the area. Although at a lower rate.
One of the Houston's local TV news stations reported that a Houstonian had gone through a loan modification only to have issues later. The news report did not provide the details of what kind of issues the homeowner experienced with the lender. However, MMT always advises that clients pay attention to the details of the loan modification offered by the lender before agreeing to it.
Once the agreement is in place, stick to it. Make sure you know what you are agreeing to including any and all conditions. Ask questions and get the lender's response in writing.
Pay on time and keep up with whats going on with your payments. There are a number of ways to make sure your payments arrive on time. No matter how you make your payment, make sure it conforms to the loan modification agreement worked out with the lender. Do not forget to verify that you pay to the penny the entire amount due when making your payment.
TIP: Round-up your payment to the next highest dollar will make it easy to remember.
Get help: If you need help and would like to utilize our services, we do charge a fee based on the expected actions required to service your needs. You are not charged by us to evaluate your specific situation.
Our fees are relatively inexpensive and you will benefit by enjoying personalized service and and attention to detail.

Five Driving Mistakes Most People Make
Everyone always blames 'the other guy' when they get in a car crash. Even if it was their fault. It's partly because bad drivers don't KNOW they're bad drivers. So here's a list of five driving mistakes most of us have probably made at some point.
#1.) YOU DON'T SLOW DOWN WHEN IT STARTS RAINING. In case you lost your Driver's Ed notes, the road's most dangerous when it first starts raining. That's when water mixes with the oil that's built up on the road and makes it slick. The first 10 minutes of rain are the most dangerous, but most people don't slow down until it's a downpour.
#2.) YOUR CAR ISN'T PROPERLY ADJUSTED TO YOUR BODY. Here's how you should sit: You should have at least eight to ten inches of room between you and the wheel, so your airbag has enough room to inflate. The top of your headrest should be level with the top of your head to avoid whiplash, and your seat belt should cross over the middle of your chest. And the same goes for children: If your kids aren't tall enough for the seat belt to cross the middle of their chest, they should still be in a car seat.
#3.) YOU'RE TALKING ON THE PHONE TOO MUCH. People think they're safe if they use a headset. But even then it makes driving more dangerous because you're distracting your brain with a different activity. That's why you shouldn't use your phone at ALL when the weather is bad, or you're not familiar with the area.
#4.) YOU NEVER CHECK YOUR TIRE PRESSURE. When your tires are low, it's harder to make quick turns. So in addition to making you use more gas, low tire pressure can also cause a wreck. The correct tire pressure should be listed on the sticker inside the driver's side door, or on the actual tires. For most cars, it'll be a number somewhere between 30 and 40.
#5.) YOU'RE STILL NOT GOOD AT PARALLEL PARKING. Every time you hit the curb, you risk damaging your tires and screwing up the alignment, which means you're more likely to have a flat, or veer off the road. To parallel park correctly, leave two feet of space between your car and the car you're parking behind, and start so your back bumpers are even. Back up slowly and turn the wheel as far as it'll go. When your front door is even with the other car's bumper, turn the wheel the other way.
