Plusses and Minuses

What a day!  It was a day chock full of plusses and minuses!  The day started off normal enough - getting ready for all my kisses on the Kiss n' Ride at school - just kidding.  I never get any kisses. Then helping out at our school for our Annual Dance-A-Thon.  Going to be a great day, right?

Well, Ben goes to open the door of the car and BAM-O!  The alarm goes off.  Not just the honkey honkey alarm, but a real extreme kind of alarm.  The kind of alarm that makes your neighbours roll their eyes.  Especially when you can't shut it off - sorry neighbours!!

Turns out, we have a KICK ASS after market alarm system that was installed by the previous owner.  Only this alarm doesn't just make noise...it shuts down the whole car!  Yep.  That's right.  No start.  Not a single sputter.  AHHHHHHH! What?  Really?  Ok.  We pack up in Fancy (that's the Yes Man's car) and we head to school.  Only now I have to hurry back (he was missing Fancy) and try and get this thing sorted out with my vehicle.

So, CAA comes and fiddles and ends up towing my girl to the dealer.  She sang the whole way there.

Now for the plus - Fancy and the Yes Man drop me off at school for the Dance-A-Thon.  Phew!  I haven't missed the whole entire thing!  It rocked!  We had hired this group called "Bounce" and they were FANTASTIC.  The kids were dancing non-stop.  Me too!  It was that fun!

And another plus - the dealer called.  My girl was not singing-honking-alarming-annoying everyone anymore.  They figured out the glitch.  So off I went in a cab to pickup my girl.  They showed me the trick - hopefully it won't happen again. Fingers crossed.  Oh yeah.  The plus?  NO CHARGE!  Yippee!  Sometimes a smile and a happy disposition goes such a long way.  Thanks Greg!

And lastly, the biggest plus - my friends Steph and Michelle introduced me to some wonderful Caribbean eats - Sunrise in Pickering.  Fantastic!!  Loved it so much I took the kids there after school for some!  They loved it too.  I think it's Ben's new favourite restaurant :o)

So I guess there were a lot more plusses than minuses.  That's a recipe for life.

And thank you for reading and following my Adventures - I am so grateful!

Keep smiling!!
