Well, no big news on the car really. State Farm did call me this evening to tell me that they WILL be willing to consider other estimates I get, so there is a possibility, that they will just pay to get it fixed. I went by Brentwood Volvo tonight and talked to our salesguy and his manager. They told me that really the best thing to do would be to take the money and keep the car, but if I wanted a new one, they could do that too. So, this week I'll be getting an estimate from Dent Wizard and another body shop to send them. Actually, a guy from Dent Wizard was at the Volvo dealer tonight..and he looked at the car and told me they could fix it for around $2800. So, I'll get a written estimate and see what they come up with. Hopefully all works out and I'll get to keep my car.
Now, I'm going to try and not think about the car thing for the rest of the night. It's been on my mind all day today and it wasn't a good day.
Tonight we went to Best Buy to get a new WAP and as I was standing at the checkout, watching the receipt print out, I started thinking about this new Receipt Revolution that seems to be going on at a lot of retail stores. What in the hell is the deal with long receipts? Like, Circuit City..have you seen their receipt? Why in the heck do they need to print you a 4 x 30 sized receipt when you buy 1 or 2 things? Give me a break! Or, what about Target and their *2* receipts...if I need a gift receipt, that's cool..I'll ask for one. Otherwise, please refrain from giving me 2 receipts. It's completely unnecessary. Anyway, I just thought I'd mention that..it was on my mind.
Oh, something a little 'semi-exciting' to me today..when I got home I checked the mail, and I had a letter from Carnival, in response to the letter that I sent them back in March, after we got back from our cruise. I had written a letter just telling them that we had a great time, and I mentioned a few of the crew members who were just really great. Anyway, they just thanked me for writing them and the basic form letter blahblahblah but, then they sent me a thing for 10% off our next cruise and a 'gift' in our room on our next cruise. It's not a lot but it was really a nice surprise to find it in the mailbox today, after having a pretty stressful, crappy day.
I got a new CD tonight. Jamie Collum - Twentysomething So far, it's not bad I kinda like it actually. Though, I've only listened to 3 songs.
Well, that's it for today. Not much going on this week. I have a doctor & dentist's appointment on Wednesday and depending on how groggy I am after the dentist, we may play volleyball. Then, sometime later this week, I think I'm going shopping with Beckie. Saturday is Race For A Cure and beyond that, I dunno what's up.
