Ohhh, I forgot what it was like being the wife of a commission only sales consultant. UGH! I now remember why I was so happy when he finally became a manager fourteen years ago. When you are a manager you make a percentage of everything sold, so even if the dealership has a slow month…
His last day and a new beginning…
Today is my hubby’s last day of selling Mercedes-Benz vehicles. For the past 18 years (with the exception of a 6 month stint at a BMW dealership) Lou has been selling Mercedes-Benz cars in some capacity. He has been a salesman, a trainer and a manager for fourteen of the 18 years . Most everyone…
Enough is Enough …
Today I am posting about something that affects everyone in our society. This topic touches everyone who has a child, grandchild, niece or nephew. What am I talking about and why: The rising epidemic of drug overdoses among our children. Last week I received this email from a friend who is a Emergency room physician…
Do you decorate spooky or sweet?
Do you decorate scary for Halloween or make a cute fall display with hay, smiling jack-o-lanterns and gourds? I use to do the latter but a few years ago I got tired of the “perfect” Martha Stewart fall look with the stacked Cinderella pumpkins, and so I switched to scary decorations. The switch didn’t cost…
We found it!
Yes, we finally found my phone once Lou got home from work last night. I showed him the spot in question and he said it wasn’t stuck in the ivy but over the fence. Thank goodness. He walked over to the neighbor’s but she wasn’t so he called her and left her a voicemail. I…
I’m on the case…
I am sure you are so tired of hearing about me and my missing iphone but since I spent a fair amount of the day in search of it, I must tell you the details. When I woke up this morning and realized that neither, Tabitha, Trinity or I thought about using the lost phone…
You’re so pretty!
This is Lou’s favorite thing to say to all his girls. The funny thing is that if Tiara is in earshot of any compliment given to anyone but her, she immediately jumps to attention, pats her own chest and says “me, me!” This morning Lou and I were standing in the kitchen watching Tiara eat…
I can be so ungracious….
So we made the trip to UCLA to see Tiara’s neuro-psychiatrist and like I thought she didn’t have a great deal to offer. The good news is that when I was talking to her and discussing what has been going on we both came to the conclusion that Tiara is either toxic from her…
When all else fails, sing!
My life with Tiara has been so difficult lately that I haven’t tried taking her for a walk in the morning for the past 5 days. Each morning I think about going and then she starts acting bad and I realize I don’t have the strength to fight her and then push her for 4…
She finally got my face!
I know I have mentioned on several occasions that keeping my face free of scratches is big on my list of priorities. Vain, yes I am. I put a lot of effort into caring for my skin and the last thing I need is a bunch of scars on my face. The rest of my…
