And it might not be an oncoming train. Here’s hoping, anyway.
The oven repairman came on Tuesday afternoon, and I now have a working oven! And, even more amazing, the insurance adjuster called Jeff this morning. He says that he is sending a check tomorrow morning for the carpet replacement/installation and will issue a second check for other items that were damaged as soon as we send him what they are worth.
We sent him a loss list a day or two after he visited, but he didn’t tell us to estimate the dollar amount then. Seems as if this whole process would’ve gone faster, had he told us this at the beginning, but at least we know now!
And, as long as this isn’t a classic “the check is in the mail,” we
should be able to pick out carpet this Saturday and set up a date for the installation. Hooray!
The new hard drive should be arriving today or tomorrow, as well. So all is looking better on those fronts.
However, I probably shouldn’t have jinxed the cars. Jeff’s is making a terrible noise, and he’s going to have to take it in.
Nope. I’m not kidding. If I were you, I’d avoid this place like the plague!
On a happier note, I thought that I’d post the kids’ January 25 Tae Kwon Do green belt board breaks. Charlotte broke her board on her first kick, and Elijah broke his on his second. In all previous tests, it took each one at least four or five kicks, so we are thrilled and proud at their improvement! Jeff got to assist in the holding their boards, while I filmed this time.
Talk to you soon!
I just had to share this...when I originally posted these videos and then went to my blog to make sure they worked, a series of "related" videos scrolled across the bottom at the end of the videos. One was of scantily-clad women on the beach talking about their body parts and entitled "S*x on the Beach." Horrified, I immediately did a search on how to disable "related" videos. I found out that I had to add a code into the html on the "Edit Posts" page, which I did. It was a bit confusing, but I managed. If you are interested in this, here is the link that tells you how:

I've bookmarked it. Yikes! There's nothing like trying to maintain a family-friendly blog and then accidentally linking to that garbage.
Remind me to tell you what Michael Tolleson forwarded one time...to everyone including Lan! It had some questionable 'related video' that was in the margins of what he was intending to send. We all like to laugh at that...even now, a couple of years later!
ReplyDeleteThe kids look great! Tell them I'm impressed.
Got all caught up on reading your blog this morning...coffee got cold as I forgot all about it! :O) I can tell a trip to DC should be in our future. I'll have to come back and read all your tips when we do.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling good and getting lots of rest!
