Crappy Service

So a group of us from work planned for a week that we would all venture out for lunch this afternoon. Bennigan's was the place of choice.
The events were as follows:
We pull up and park and right behind us parks a "silver Saturn" that is overheating. We walk in and immediately get seated. (Good so far right?) OK so we order our drinks, and while we were waiting for them to come another waiter is walking the resturaunt asking people if they drive a silver saturn, it is on fire! I told the girls what I wanted from the menu and thought if that car is on fire, I am moving mine! So Tammy tells the waiter, I can point out whose car that is cause they came in as we did. Not only did she point them out, but she had to tell them, their car was on fire! LOL I go outside to inspect the car that is on fire only to find that it is no longer overheating and it is sitting in the parking lot just like any other car. I turn around and walk back in and the couple has already got up and left and were barreling outside when I tell them, their car is not on fire. I explain I went out so their car did not blow my car up, and we all make our way back inside to start and even more crappy experience!
I walk in to the waiter taking orders. I asked if they made my order... Juanita says "Of course", the waiter says "No, they wanted to leave you out!" I said ok and he walked away.
The food comes.... mine was good, we were all talking about how the price at Bennigan's has gone up. Juanita asks us if we see anything wrong with her sammich... Well, yeah, we see bread! No meat! She opened it up and it seriously had like one or two pieces of meat on it! LOL So it gets sent back. The waiter guy, did not appreciate that.
So a manager comes out and sort of nicely says she is sorry. Juanita gets her sammich, and the manager lady "Danielle" offers a half assed apology and walks away.
A while later, the manager lady comes by to ask if we need to go boxes. The girls who needed one said yes, and I said, getting our check would be great!
LOL... at 26 minutes of waiting for our check, Tennille starts calling out.... 26 minutes waiting for our check, 27 minutes waiting for our check, 28, 29.......
Danielle comes back with the checks... Tennille lets loose about how she wants the District Managers name... a card comes back, WITH another manager "Andrea", telling us to call tomorrow AFTER 5!! We were all on the same track with, well is he gonna be here after 5?!
We pay.... 3 of us had cash, 2 had cards. We waited another 20 minutes for them to run 2 cards!
I am already tired of typing the crappiest service experience I have ever received, as I am sure you are tired of reading... cause honestly a lunch should be no longer than 1 hour, right?
Well my lunch today was an hour and a half!!
You better believe we are calling "Sergio" tomorrow after 5!!! Oh and the last time we saw the waiter...... that was when Juanita sent back her sammich!!
Needless to say... my review of Bennigan's is all fingers and toes down!! I wont be back there for quite some time!!

Round One

After Woodys interview in Denver we found out it was a no go. Just wasnt meant to be. Thats ok though. What will be, will be right?!
Today we were informed we will be getting an offer on the house. They want to make it contingent on the sale of their home. That is great... we will still continue to show the house and will accept all other offers that may come our way.

I am such a second time mom!

So as I was strolling good 'ol Wal-mart today looking for pajamas for my two daughters, I found the cutest little princess nightgown for my very own princess Hannah. Its cute.... she just fell in love and had to have it.
Went to the baby section and well... we werent so lucky. I looked and looked. My second child is so opposite of Hannah. Payton likes to be warm all the time. Long sleeved, long pants are out of the question in mid July. So whats a second time mom to do? I did ponder the thought of perhaps going to another store. But no.. Miss Payton has such a ghetto second time mom, that I went over to the little boys section and found some Kung Fu Panda PJs. LOL.. Hey it was either that, Cars or Thomas the train.
Who cares if my little girl looks like a boy! I dont take her out in public with her boy pjs!

I dont think a pair of pjs will ruin her reputation just yet!!

My own independance day!

One year ago today.... my step daughter and her friend were on a mission to ruin the days of unsuspecting individuals. My friend, Greta calls me up early in the morning and says "So the neighbors cars were vandalized last night" I said "the girls did it" She said "no I dont think they did" Then she proceeds to tell me that they slept outside on the trampoline!To make a very long story short.... the girls vandalized 5 cars in Greta's neighborhood! One of them, causing felony damage. The victims had one year to file police reports and press charges..... today..... time is up!I could care less if they were taken away for vandalizing.... but we as parents are poor as hell! They knew better.... they didnt use good judgement! They were out to impress each other!So needless to say... we are home free and I think those little girls should thank their lucky stars that no one pressed charges!!WHEW!!!!!!!

Playing Catch up

Where have I been since my last post, you ask?!
I am sure you dont care but humor me! :o)

So we put the house up for sale in anticipation to purchase a smaller house. With the way the economy is, I hate having a 2K mortgage payment, paying over two hundred in electricity and 130 in water each month! Woody and I came to grips and saw that we were living for the house more than we were living for the girls. I pay 650 every two weeks for daycare... I am broke... and I hate it!
Thus, our decision....

In the mean time, he has been looking towards new jobs... here and there! Just exploring what is out there. Nothing serious.... or so I thought. He should be presented with a job offer in Santa Fe sometime this week, possibly early next week. Either way, we know it is coming! The blow to my gut.... (Liz dont be calling Jeremy cause we dont know how this will pan out!) Woody will be on a plane first thing Monday morning heading out to Denver for a job interview. OK, I am like a kid on this.... Albuquerque is my home. My parents are here, my job is here and my friends are here. I dont want to go. He is the bread winner in the house though, Albuquerque, does not pay what he is really worth. (I guess it really pays to be a computer nerd!) Anyway, we will see what is meant to be. And NO this was not part of the plan to put the house up. Part of me hopes that the Santa Fe offer comes in too high for him to want to go anywhere else!

Let's see... I love love love my job! Absolutely loving it! I stay to myself and talk to all of 4 people! I must admit that I have already gone to my supervisor and informed him that I had a nice chat with a co-worker on the do's and don'ts of working with her. I politely let her know that I one day... will upset her, make her cry, and really piss her off. I informed her that I would not walk on egg shells around her. And upon telling the supervisor that... I saw that look, you know, the one that is like... G R E A T !!!! I let him know this was not something I would strive to do, but the possibility was there. LOL. Again, when I say I love my job, I mean it!! Everyone is nice... and again... believe it or not I do mind my own business. I have met alot of nice "new" people and actually strive to meet more!

Last weekend I helped a friend ring in her 30th birthday! It was boat loads of fun! We stayed at her party roughly 3 hours. In that time, I managed to suck down ... oh... at least 12 to 15 jello shots, 2 shots of Patron, and a shot of some Apple Korn shit. And guess what I was still standing and just a wee bit tipsy! LOL... Not even a hang over the next morning. From the sounds of it.... the best part of the party happened after we left! LOL

This weekend is July 4th weekend. We are having my in laws in town, my parents will be over and then another friend and her hubby will be over. I will begin making Jello Shots tomorrow evening in hopes that my mother in law will be cool enough to suck one or two down with me! LOL Lots of pictures to come!

Well I suppose I must close for now as I just turned into "Chunk" from the Goonies and spilled my guts on everything!

I will try to get away and post a very special post tomorrow! LOL Until then......
