School's out for...oh no it isn't....

Midterms start on Wednesday!! I have been studying my butt off, but have lacked some motivation until tonight. I finally got all notes, flash cards, etc done for the seven chapters that will be covered on Wednesday's test. I am exhausted and it is almost 2 am, but it was well worth it. I have an easier time studying when I don't have little fingers "helping" me. If this makes no sense it is because it is so damn late!!

By the way, Mel Gibson's Mayan movie, I can't spell the name, is very violent and graphic. Just so y'all know!!

Drama Alarm....Alarm Drama

I have to say that Best Buy has some good customer service, but I wish I did not need to use it!! I took my car in yesterday for the alarm. They called me today to tell me that they got it to work and it was working perfectly. I was so excited. I picked up Peter and we headed over there. I go in and talk to a manager because I was stuck there for so long and I wanted to be compensated for the whole drama yesterday. We check out the car and it starts and honks when you lock it etc. So I get my refund and I am off.

Well today was picture day for us. We got our family pictures done tonight. Anyway we ran into Sears to buy the Binks shoes and I decided to double check the door. I had locked it, but it had not actually locked. I opened the door and....NO ALARM!! So I called back over to Best Buy and told the installer that I thought it was an alarm. I was told it was only a remote start. I then told him that it was not locking. He said if it was a quick fix, he could fix it today other wise it would be Wednesday.

We head over to Best Buy again, and he takes a look at it. I asked about a feature that is listed in the book and he tells me it is not set up because he doesn't know how. If I want that I am going to have to bring it BACK in next week. He also told me that he couldn't get the doors to lock like they are suppose to until Friday because he does not work on Wednesday. Oh and I needed to talk to a manager to figure out about the whole no alarm thing.

So I talk to a manager, the same manager from this morning. He calls over another manager and this is where the whole good customer service comes in. They are going to put in the correct product that I asked to purchase on Thursday. They are bringing up an installer from Prescott. And I don't have to pay for anything else for this alarm. The only catch is I have to go yet another day without a car!!

My only disappointment is that I asked for them to give me a 50" flat screen LCD HDTV for my inconvience and they said no. I think it was a reasonable request!!!!

Why??

I have one question...why does this stuff keep happening to me?? You are probably wondering what I am talking about. Well, where do I start? On Thursday I got a call from my lawyer, who told me that I could pick up our settlement checks. So, my mom and I decide to go to Phoenix on Friday to get a jump start on Christmas shopping. On Friday, I get up with the plan of going to Physical Therapy, the chiropractor and then to Phoenix. I come out into the living room and find out that Buddy has licked his stitches off and he has a huge, open incision. I had to make an emergency vet visit which cost me over $100!! Then we get to Phoenix and little things happen. I am shopping in Babies 'R' Us and Lilly pees all over me. I am talking total soakage!! Today I take in my car into Best Buy to get my remote start put in. I was told it would take 5 hours max. So after 6 hours of walking around the mall, Best Buy, Home Depot, well pretty much every store in the mall "expansion" with the baby, Peter and I go back and we find out the car isn't done. Peter cannot take both Lilly and me home because Lilly, the carseat, and me will not fit into Peter's truck. So finally Peter takes a tired cranky Lilly home. I sit at Best Buy for another FOUR HOURS!! Only to be told that the guy cannot get the car to start via remote....the whole reason for the install. I find out I have to go back tomorrow and HOPEFULLY they will have my car done. If the installer cannot be walked through the installation with the manufactor, then I will have to take my car back next week to get it fixed. Each time this happens, I am without a car because Peter has to do this wierd thing call work. I just don't get it. Best Buy officals, claim that it is because this is a new model and that is what is causing the problem. Meanwhile I am without a car and paying out the bung hole to have this installed. Peter is concerned that we'll get the car back and it just will never be the same. UGGGGGGGG!!!

Karma??

I did a good thing today!! I saw a dog almost get hit on 4th Street today.  I pulled in the paint store's parking lot and convinced this beautiful dog that I wasn't going to eat him.  I was petting him and trying to figure out how to get him in my car so I could take him to the pound.  This guy came up and told me he knew who's dog it was and went to go see if she would come and get the dog.  He came back and told me he couldn't find the owner.  I figured I had to take him the pound or he was liable to get hit.  So as I went to go open up the back of the car, he took off!  I went into the paint store and asked them to call animal control.  They agreed and I walked out of the store.  I totally biffed it while walking off the curb.  I scraped up my knee and luckily I put out my right hand and not left when I landed or that could have been disastrous!! So I was backing out and that damn dog came back.  I went to go catch him and he ran off again.  The FPD officer who was writing some lady a ticket helped me catch him and he took care of getting him to the pound.  

So my question is, why did I get hurt while I was trying to do a good deed??  I mean I know I am walking disaster, but still....you'd think God would grant me a break!!
