Timeshare Woes'

Dear Owner Services,

We sold our timeshare that we owned before we were married and I inherited after we were married, about 4 months ago. And it's still in our name. This has been nothing less than a nightmare. After many phone calls, which by the way, the new owner doesn't even have the same phone number anymore... and almost letters drafted up from our Lawyer... I got a call from the lady that brought us money in exchange for the Timeshare back in April. I explained to her that we keep getting information about this Timeshare and that it still is not in their name.

THEN... After I have talked to your office about 50 times, I called last week and they tell me that the County will NOT send them a copy of the Deed... Oh, no... he said... that's your responsibility to send that up to us. WELL THANKS FOR CLARIFYING!!! I've been trying to sort his bloody thing out for 4 months now and NOW you tell me that?!?! I have asked specifically about that and everyone that I have talked to said that the County would send you a copy... but now they WON'T? And to top it all off... I have been trying to get a hold of someone for 3 FREAKING days and no one has called me back AND we just got another Statement for the Maintenance fees that state that if they aren't paid by the end of October then a Lien will be placed on the property!

Thanks Owner Services... You're truly a gem.

Fred and Me

I started a Ballroom class last week. We learned the Rumba. This week we learn the Cha-Cha-Cha and the Tango. I really like it so far. I do need to get some high heals that I can wear to dance in because tennis shoes just don't quite cut it. Hopefully one day I'll be as graceful as Ginger Rodgers and be able to float over the dance floor... probably not. But, its something to hope for, right?

So, next Saturday I am starting a beginning Cha-Cha-Cha class and after this level 1 ballroom class is finished than I'll be starting the level 2 class. Mikey is all behind me with this because its something that I'm so excited about doing. I love ballroom and I've wanted to take a class now for, well our entire marriage.

Yearbook Yourself

Me... Circa 1996... I think I look better in this picture than I actually did back then. Yearbook yourself here. Then post a comment in my comments so I can see who did it and what you looked like. Its super fun, I promise!

In Honor...

I know that this makes me an Uber-Dork, but I just finished the final addition to the Twilight series yesterday. So, I saw this background and decided that it was appropriate to change for that reason alone. Now, I know that chess pieces have nothing to do with summer and they don't ever match the cute pictures that I have at the top of the page, but I don't care.

Its over...

No more Twilight books. This makes me the biggest nerd and some of you would I am SURE stick their noses up at me for even reading them in the first place. But, when you have 30, 12-18 year-old girls telling you every week that you should read them... you eventually give in to that "peer" pressure and ask for the first one for Christmas. And, then because your baby is too young to really do anything except sleep and eat, you end up reading the first 3 books in just over a weeks time. And, once you're done with that, you think... I wonder how its gonna end?!?! So, you go out and buy the last book the day it comes out (not in a big rush like fashion like others, but in a leisurely way) go home that evening and stay up until 3AM reading. You then pick at the rest of it (because of certain husbands coming home and certain daughters needing to be fed you can't sit and read it straight through) for the next 4 days and finally finish it yesterday.

I'm not going to go into my thoughts about it. I'll give everyone a chance to come to their own conclusions... But, I will say that it KILLED me that I couldn't read and read and read and read until it was done. That is all I'm gonna say about it.
