1:00 - Jeff heard Orange in heat.
3:00 - A visibly upset Buddy came running through the cat door at the same time Kayla shouted that she heard loud cat yowls of a cat fight, but no one saw what happened.
4:00 - Tico is frightened of Buddy and won’t get too close, but concerned Tico stays near Buddy about two feet away and keeps looking at him.
6:00 - Poor Buddy is so upset after his earlier fight with Orange, he didn’t eat his dinner. Buddy never misses a meal.
We really, really hate Orange. Last week Tico also got in a fight with him, but Tico loses and gets sprayed. And to make things worse, I have to give him a bath.
Laura just called me at work to tell me that the Hocker’s have sold their house in Corrales. This news was not unexpected, but came faster than we were hoping.
Dick and Bea told us around Christmas time that they were planning to sell their Corrales home this spring. Dick contacted a realtor (the same one that sold them the house) last week to get everything started. It just so happened that the realtor had a client from Chicago in town that was looking for a second home. They looked at the house this past Sunday and a deal was struck today. The Hocker’s hadn’t even officially put their house on the market and had not even set a price! The price was negotiated with the usual back and forth resulting in Dick and Bea getting what they were hoping for. Bea is hoping that they will be able to stay another few months or so, but that has yet to be negotiated.
I can’t say enough about how much we have enjoyed having the Hocker’s live part time here in Corrales. It has been a really great experience for our family and we are really sad that it is coming to an end.
The kids decided (with a little mommy & daddy help) to try karate. It is being taught by the same group that teaches the hip-hop classes. Tonight was the first night to see if they like it.
Well they do! Laura just called on her way home to say that it went well and the kids picked out their ‘Gi’ (karate outfit). Cade chose black and Kayla white. Pictures to come.
Well, that was quick response! About 3 minutes after I sent my e-mail to ExpressToll customer service, I received I response from Chantell. They said they could not find the bill number in their system. So I scanned the bill and sent it to her. About 5 minutes later I received this message:
Thank you for contacting EXpressToll. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience. After reviewing the image of the toll it was determined that the license plate was entered incorrectly into our systems. The toll and bill has been completely taken out of your name. No payment is due and no further action is necessary.
Wow…that was impressive customer service. The whole thing was taken care of in less than 30 minutes from my computer. So I guess I’ll have to wait to find my evil twin.
I just picked up our mail and found a bill for using the E-470 toll road. Huh?
I went to the website and tried to figure out where this toll road was in Albuquerque. It’s not…and Jen and Justin know this is a toll road in Colorado. So how was I in Colorado on December 2nd at 9:14 pm? Obviously, I wasn’t. Best as I can figure I was probably either in bed on that Wednesday night or getting ready for bed.
I e-mailed the ExpressToll customer service to fight the $2.50 charge. I’m hoping that they send me a picture. Maybe it’s my evil twin!
