I kind of refer to myself as 'the Queen of Locking her Keys in the Car' and it's not without warrant. I have embarrassingly done this way more times than I would like to admit and it always seems to happen at the very worst times. For instance, the time my brother who spent 3 months in the hospital after a car accident was ready to come home and I was honoured to be the one to pick him up and return him safely to the comforts of home. Yes, I was so excited, I somehow left the keys in … [Read more...]

Finding out my replacement car was a Buick Regal, I had a laugh. A Buick Regal? Did they know I was in my 30's? Isn't that an old person's ride?? No, no it's not! Meet … [Read more...]
