What a day...

As I am writing this blog I am sitting in my car(not really-I'll explain later)waiting for the garage to finish my $19.95 oil and lube...


First obviously I know nothing much about cars except you really have to change the oil and inflate the tires...I live in NJ so I am a little shaky about pumping gas by myself...


So with that in minds and an appointment made days earlier, off I went on this Saturday morning expecting to pay $19.95 and waste one hour of my day...


It is now two hours later and I am in a courtesy car...which means yes I agreed to flushes, plugs, rotations, ect...The only snag was that I left my keys and when I got home I had no house keys..but it gets better as my spare keys are on the kitchen island on the other side of the locked door...my neighborhood friend with spare key does not answer their phone...Don't worry I have two extra car keys with me but house keys are in the house...some days I should just give up...Don't worry I can get in my garage so plenty of warm water to drink, shelter from the sun and I can get my paperwork done plus I have been meaning to spend more time out of doors...


Yes you guessed it I am too embarrassed to go back to the garage and ask for my house keys...


By the way, there will be no pictures for this blog...


I do however have a few suggestions since after reading this you will know how smart I am and really trust me...LOL...


The talking tire gauge and automatic shut-off air compressor are my favorite ways to make sure my tires are properly inflated since this affects your gas mileage....I am tired of high gas prices so this saves us money plus the convenience of doing this at home cannot be underestimated...


I actually cleaned my car with the "Try Me Car CareKit" which makes a great guy gift too!   Then I installed drop stop car seat gap fillers which is an awesome product and easy to install...It is great at catching things that drop like my cell phone, french fries and crumbs...


I never leave home without my bluetooth headset as I live in NJ where legally you must use your headset to talk on the cell phone..


Most of all I have to say my Garmin GPS has helped me find my way through commuting detours, the state of Texas, and so much more....


In closing, I thought I would end by saying please never leave your original set of keys with anyone as it is 110 degrees outside....


Thanks for reading my blog....
