Car, Trip, & School....work

Well lets see.. last week my headlight & tail light went out on my car.. so i take it in to the dealership to have them replaced.. 54 dollars later i have 2 lights that are working.. 18 dollars of this was for 2 gommits that they broke taking out the light.. ok i have no clue what a grommet is except that it is a clay dog that hangs with another bald clay man.. so i get to work and this is not sitting well with me.. they broke it and i have to pay for it??? I called and talked to the manager.. and low and behold they should not of charged me.. I was given the choice of my 18 back or an oil change.. ok that cost like 30 so i took the oil change.

Then it was on to our trip to Branson.. Last year i bought a trip over the phone. i know i can hear the groans now.. i was told we would have a condo.. and could upgrade to a 2 bedroom condo when we got there for 50 dollars.... oh and we got 5 show tickets.. I asked does this work for the Dixieland Stampeed. they said YES.. so last year i tried to book this for Mitzi, I and the kids.. only to find out that if we wanted a condo and to up grade it would cost around 150 or more.. i told them that is not the deal i was told.. argued with them and got it put in there that yes we cold upgrade for 50 dollars.. this year i set my trip.. only to find out it is a hotel.. ok fine... Ruth is going with us now not Mitzi.. so we only really need the 4 tickets.. well they call to set our tickets for us.. and another blow.. these are good for like Joes show or a laser show or bumper cars.. at this point i am TICKED!!! why do i want to go see joe nobody in Branson when i was told we could see a good one... anyway they said we will have to pull your conversation with the sales rep.. low and behold it isn't there the recording wasn't working. my idea is that the tick turd erased all the ones he screwed up.. so i am asking for my money back.. i am ticked.. they finally said ok..we are changing your tickets over to an entertainment voucher for 150 .. our tickets for Dixieland comes to 136 .. so we have 14 dollars to do what ever with.. pays to be a bitch sometimes..

School.. it is out.. now the phone calls start of i am board.. i am hungry what can we do!!! Quentin starts summer school on the 9th .. and it runs till the 27th ... McKinleys surgery is on the 23rd.. so we do have some stuff going on..

Work was craptastical on Friday.. here is hoping next week is better!!

Is McKinley nervous? He will be glad he gets it done...I don't get sick nearly as much since I had mine and if I do, the sore throats don't last long.

Way to go on getting a better deal on your trip...:-)
