Acura...the best auto company

So, I am the new spokesperson for Acura....not really, but I could be.

Yesterday, my car wouldn't start and the battery was so dead that it couldn't be jump started. Normally, that would send me into a frantic meltdown, but because Acura is so AWESOME...I actually had a very pleasant day. Let me share my experience.

1. Car wouldn't start...slight panic, due to the fact that the dealership is 80 miles away.
2. Called Acura...the lady said, "no problem, just call roadside assistance and they will tow your car to the dealership for free". I was really relieved, but also afraid that I was getting set up for the big dip into my pockets once it got there.
3. Tow guy, George, calls me to tell me that he is 15 minutes from my house.
4. George calls me to inform me that he was at my house (and George threw the Frisbee for my dog)
5. George calls me 1 1/2 hours later to inform me that he had just left my car at the dealership.
6. Dealership calls me an hour after that to let me know that my car was repaired and ready for pickup.
7. Dealership washed and vacuumed my car for me.
8. Charge for services....NOTHING.
9. Buying a car from Acura....PRICELESS

Baby Update

So, I am at the halfway point of pregnancy...here is the update...

1. My ten week run of all day morning sickness ended about three weeks ago...Yay!
2. We found out we are having a boy...they better not say "oh we made a mistake..."
3. I am starting to actually look pregnant. My husband pats my stomach in front of people while saying "boom, boom, boom"....fun times.
4. I have been able to feel the baby move for about three weeks now...that is really cool, but really weird at the same time.
5. We finally have a few items of baby gear at our house, which makes me laugh to myself every time I look at it....if you know us really well, you totally understand why I would find that funny.
6. And....for those few soles that actually read my blog....sorry, but I probably won't have anything to write about except baby stuff going forward....I am totally old and boring now, it's official.
7. Oh, and as long as the gender doesn't change, the baby's name is going to be Coy Blair Joyner. We went back and forth with middle names...George was an option, but I couldn't bare anyone teasing my child by calling him "Boy George".
