Lord, Beer Me Strength

A happy Friday. All in all the week hasn’t been overly involved, but still a good enough time with everyone I love. Thankfully, (Knock on wood.) I have been kept safe from whatever illness is floating all over my house and I guess the whole of Chapters. Hoping that the weekend will be exciting enough, but we will see.

Would you be shocked if I told you that I had yet another problem with identity theft? Now, I understand that I am a pretty awesome person, and that, according to Facebook, I am listed as “most jealous of” however, please stop trying to steal me. Confused yet? Just wait.

With the advent of September comes the renewal of my car insurance. For reasons unknown, I still have my insurance out of Brooks, however, this year being the fourth year since my parents moved from Brooks, I figured it was time to move on to a new company.

I called the new insurance company and gave them all of my information, and got a pretty good deal on my insurance. (Thank goodness for turning 25. If only I could get married, then I think the insurance company would pay me money.) Everything was set up for my new insurance to take effect; the company just had to pull up my insurance record to verify my previous coverage and lack of accidents and tickets.

After a few minutes and a few keystrokes later, the lady on the phone paused and said, “Are you from Ontario?” “I only wish,” was the first thought that came to my mind. I told her I had never been to Ontario.

She then asked if I was the owner of a White 2001 Chevy Silverado Truck. Again, I admitted that would be a much better vehicle than what I was currently driving, but I didn’t have access to any trucks.

Finally, she asked if I knew anyone named Robert. And I sadly told her that I didn’t.

Horribly confused, Ms. Insurance Adjuster told me that it looked as if my coverage had been cancelled in 2006 and transferred to some Robert guy in Ontario with a white truck. What?!?

After a few phone calls, faxes and signatures, to my insurance company in Brooks, my previous insurance company stated, “They would look into this clerical error.” Not quite the same as ‘bank error in your favor, collect $ 200.00’ but hopefully everything gets straightened out.

Just imagine if I had an accident this past year! I am just hoping that Mr. Robert enjoys his insurance while he still can.

Thanks to all of those who attended the Second Annual Denise Garner Apple Taste Test. A super congratulation to my beloved Honeycrisp apple for taking home first place. And a surprise contender in the Jazz apple. Like always, we learned that any Delicious apple, just not so delicious.

Thinking:

Is my mom really right? Does being self-centered just make you paranoid in the end?

Why doesn’t my excitement transfer to other people? Are my ideas not that great? Do I expect too much?

What is with all the cagey people? Yes or no. No more grey!

Good Luck, God Speed. TGIF.
