For only $2.50 not $100

JP and I joined Triple A almost a year ago. We decided it would be a good idea in case our car ever brakes down or we get locked out or whatever else might happen. We have never, thankfully!!!, had to use their services but it is nice to know we have options. JP's cousin Scott just moved and he has a car that is not doing well. JP and I, probably me, told them that they could just use our Triple A card and get the car towed. (I know this may not be all OK with the Triple A people but I do have to be there to show id and what they don't know will not hurt them right!?) Anyways so I call and get everything set for Triple A to tow the car and I meet with Scott and get the keys. Well, after I set everything up I ask how many miles we are allowed to get towed. The nice man tells me 5. Five......what?!?!?!?! Only five, that will get you from the middle of no where to the middle of no where. What if we really were stranded somewhere in the middle of Utah and could only go 5 miles. So lets see would we want to be closer to the town that is 30 miles away or the town that is 20 miles away. Either way we would still be very far away with only being allowed 5 miles of free towing. I tell the guy I need the car towed about 15 miles so how much would the other 10 miles cost me? The guy tells me it will cost about 100 dollars. What......100 dollars!?!?!?!? WHAT THE CRAP, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? So I tell the guy I need to check with my husband before we do anything else. I call JP and tell him what I have found out. He tells me to call Triple A and upgrade our policy because 5 miles will literally get us to no where. I call the membership people and ask if we can upgrade. After being put on hold forever the guy comes back and tells me that we can upgrade. I ask how much it was going to cost. He looks in the computer and cannot find how much it will be. He says that if the amount is under 5 dollars the system will just write it off. Then he finds that it would have cost us $2.50, but it was just written off. Then I ask the very important question, how many miles can we be towed now. He tells me 100. I say 100 and the guy says yes. Then thinking I did not hear how many miles we could be towed with the other plan correctly I clarify things. I say "So with our old plan we could only be towed 5 miles right?" The Triple A guy: "Yes." Me:"And with the new plan we can be towed 100 miles?" Triple A guy: "Yes." Me:"OK, thank you."
WHAT THE CRAP! So for only 2 dollars and fifty cents we can be towed from no where (5 miles) to a real city (as far as 100 miles), or in Scott and Sarah's case from Sugar House to Bountiful. Man, who knew that $2.50 could buy so much?!?!

Embarrassing Wife

JP and I went out to eat with some friends tonight. While we were waiting for our food we were talking about topics like me working and selling our boat and whatever has happened lately. At one point I raise my voice to say something because JP is not listening to me and talking over me. He quites down and I finish what I was saying. Dinner gets over and we leave. In the car ride home JP tells me that I always yell at him when we are with these friends and that is embarrassing. I tell him if I always yell at him in front of these friends and make fun of him in front of his family then why does he take me out because I obviously am not public broke yet. I don't act appropriately. JP just laughs and asks me if I am tired. So apparently I embarrass him a lot and he was not amused by it tonight. So to those friends I am sorry I acted the way I did and too my husband I am sorry I embarrassed you. I think I need to make a 'embarrassed my husband' jar instead of a swear jar, although one of those jars is also needed at times!?! Then with the money that is put in the jar I can buy my sweet husband treats. I like this idea. It will make me be nicer, hope it works!, and my sweet will make money for sweets. Although this could back fire, because I could loose lots of money! I better learn to be nicer fast.

So, was that a sign... or what?

Before you read this I need to add a disclaimer for younger readers (aka Kimberly). Although I will keep this rated G you still may not want to read it. You can read the last paragraph though.

So last night I get ready for bed and after I climb into bed I lean over and kiss JP. Now I linger a little and then lay down. JP looks at me and says "So, was that a sign, or what?" I just look at him like you have to ask, but I decided to have some fun and mess with his head. So I say "What do you think?" And this is how the rest of the conversation goes..
JP:"What do I think?"
me:"Yes, what do you think?"
JP:leans over and looks at the clock "Well you usually don't kiss me like that at 11:30 at night and want action because it is too late. Besides I don't like this game because I always get it wrong.." (here is where I need to explain a little. You see I am all for a little action if it is not too late and JP loves to cuddle up to me when it is too late so I get mad at him and have told him if he wants any action he needs to come to me before eleven at night. Is that too much to ask?!)
me: "Is it too late."
JP:"I don't want to answer wrong and you to get mad at me."
Here is where I am done messing with his mind and explain to him what I mean by the kiss. I tell him that the kiss was because I wanted some action and because of the conversation we just had and having to explain things to him I am not longer interested anymore. Then he says "OK" and starts watching tv again. (Apparently James Bond is better then getting some action?!? WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!)

And speaking of watching tv, JP has a bad habit of watching tv late at night. This would be OK if he didn't listen to it so loud. I can sleep through almost anything but it takes me awhile to fall asleep sometimes. Because it takes time for me to fall asleep I will listen to the show he is watching and start asking questions about what is going on. See I keep my eyes closed as to not get to into the show but not seeing what it going on is hard. Last night JP was watching James Bond, you know the one where he saves the world, you know that one right!?! Well at one point Bond is in trouble and next thing I know someone is shooting. I ask who is shooting, JP tells me it was Bond. I ask where he got the gun and he explains. Other conversations when watching CSI go like this... It was the girlfriend huh and she used this to kill them? Or it was the neighbor huh. Late night tv would be more enjoyable if I opened my eyes and actually watched it but why when JP can explain it too me?

Chain saw in the middle of the night

Upon our return from Fish Lake this weekend I discovered that the power was out at our house. It was also out at our neighbors next to us and behind us. It was not out across the street though, lucky!! We found flashlights, thankfully! after searching, and got ready for bed. Due to no power we had no air conditioning, or no cold air conditioner (ha ha), so we opened the window. The power had not been out for too long though because the fridge was still cold, thank goodness!!! I was almost asleep and I hear a chain saw. I HATE CHAIN SAWS!!!!!!!!! Murray Power must have found the tree that fell on the power lines. For about 20 minutes I hear the chain saw and then our power came back on. Although I do not like chain saws, in this instance I was grateful for them. Don't worry I did not have nightmares about chain saws, again thank goodness because I thought I would!

Runny nostril

Why does one of my nostrils run more than the other? Being sick is bad enough but then when one nostrils goes crazy and snot comes pouring out. WHAT THE CRAP, oh wait it would be WHAT THE SNOT!

Good bye Pontoon Fishing Boat

Over the weekend JP and I went to Fish Lake with Joe and Jen, and the dogs of course! While there JP sold the fishing boat to one of Joe's friends. We had some good fishing trips on that boat and now we will have some good fishing trips on.... oh wait we don't own a boat. We will have some good fishing trips off the shore. All things considered I am sort of glad the boat is gone but mostly upset. I know I joked about it but I liked the boat. I always wanted to use it, JP didn't. Hence why he sold it. So, so long pontoon fishing boat, hopefully your new owners use you more then we did!!
