What a week.....

So, this has NOT been 'The Best Week Ever' but I don't want to get off my blog momentum (every two to three days isn't THAT bad, right?). Anyway, moving on...
I am very much looking forward to the weekend because Jon and I will finally complete our...duh duh duh duh....stainless steel appliance kitchen!! Seriously...this should have taken us a day to get everything in and, low and behold, here it is almost two weeks later and we still have the same heinous fridge and an old stove and microwave. But not to worry....it will all be in on Saturday. And, there should be no issues with the weather....sunny and 72 degrees. Whoo hoo!!

So, back to my car situation that I mentioned in my last post. So, what I thought was a simple window issue that would be under warranty, turned out to be much more...and much more money. How does this crap ALWAYS happen to Jon and I?!?! Anyway, so we drop off my car bright and early on Monday morning at the Honda service center right by our house. We figure...no biggie....we'll pick the thing up good as new (and under warranty and FREE) by the end of the day. Fast forward two hours and I get a call from the service center. It goes a little something like this...

Me: Hello?
Honda: Hi, is this Melissa?
Me: Yes
Honda: Hi, this is Joe Schmo from Honda
Me: Hi Joe Schmo. What's the dilly yo with my ride? (I am not kidding, I said this)
Honda: What the hell did you say? Anyway, did you realize someone tried to break into your car?
Me: Hahahaha....whatever. Seriously, what's up with the car?
Honda: No, ma'am...there is body damage to the passenger side of your car that has messed up not only the window, but the door which will require some body repair and we are not a body shop.
Me: Are you f#@cking kidding me, Joe?
Honda: No
Me: So, are you telling me that means it's not under warranty?
Honda: (chuckle) No, ma'am. You need to call your insurance company...
Me: Fabulous...because they've been SO helpful in the past (if you're not picking up on the sarcasm, then you should be 'cause I'm laying it on pretty thick at this point)
Honda: I am sorry but you can take it to our body shop at Honda Carland
Me: Okay, well thanks Joe...we'll be there during lunch to pick it up.

Okay, so Joe was right and he pointed out the damage (which he DID say I would not have noticed if I wasn't looking for it). So, we take it to Honda Carland, I call the insurance company and they can't even get an adjuster out there until tomorrow (Thursday) and this is Monday. So, I am looking at being without a car until at least Saturday, if not longer. SERIOUSLY!?!?! No worries....my good friend, The Chad Krutz, hooks me up with an '09 Nissan Xterra rental car, all covered under my insurance.

So, that is the saga that is my car....in the grand scheme of things...not a biggie but more of a pain than anything else.

Until next time....
