FINALLY!!!

FINALLY...we have another cruise booked! It has been over a year, and when we finally set sail, it will be two years from our last cruise. But at least it is booked! Sure, more than six months away, but there is something about it being booked and knowing that you have it to look forward to!

That also means I have to get my butt in gear! I plan on being totally fit by the cruise! That is my goal...bikini body, baby! Let's do this...CrossFit, Combat, dance...yup...here we go!

General Rants and Musings...

I apologize in advance if I just ramble on...

I must get my butt back into gear! I've been so unmotivated as of late. Tired, etc...I know part of it is that I've let myself slip into a little unhealthy eating and not enough exercise...both a cause and result of not being motivated. I'm dragging too much to get a workout in today, and I'm so, so busy anyway. My work load at work has increased because of a layoff on my team; I have a senior parent meeting this evening; at some point today I have to do laundry...I think part of it all is waking up each day knowing what load I have in front of me, and feeling overwhelmed from the moment I wake up! I must find a way to get past this! I need to get my personal trainer exam done, I need to get back to exercising 6-days a week...one thing I CAN start today is getting my eating back on track! Today, I start back to no cheating!

I'm in desperate need for a vacation! I think we are planning on a cruise again in January, but it seems so far away. I need to find the down payment, and get it coordinated with our friends who were supposed to go on the last cruise with us, but it fell through.  I'm a little excited about it!

UGH! I feel like I can take a nap already! I'm really not feeling well today, but I have all this stuff I must do! Oh well....try to push through!

I Can't Stand Liars Or Assumers!

Seriously! I get this call from my insurance company today out of the blue asking me about a claim against my policy. I have to ask what the claim is for, and the vehicle they give me is my primary vehicle. I asked when and where, because I have not been involved in anything with my car. The when and where correspond to a meeting I was at two weeks ago, but the time is a bit off...the time this person is saying this happened is the time I was just leaving my house, and I was still several miles away from the location of the supposed incident! I go out and look all around my vehicle...no damage at all. If that vehicle had been involved in an incident that caused enough damage for the person to make a claim on my insurance, there would be some sign of such on it...but NOTHING! No scratches, no dents, no scuffs...the vehicle is white, show it shows everything, even absorbs color out of bug guts or bird poo if it is left on the paint too long.  The insurance offers me no other information, but says I need to go get my vehicle looked at by one of their body shops so that pictures can be taken. The other person apparently got my license plate, and that is how they tracked me...no indication that they actually witness the damage to their car, so they probably took down the plate of the most likely car based on proximity while I was in the building!

So, I go to the body shop that will be handling my side of the claim for the insurance company. The estimators come out, and ask me what happened.  I tell them, "I'm hoping you can tell me! I don't even know what kind of damage we are supposed to be looking for!" The guy looks at his paper and says that supposedly I backed into someone. I kinda chuckle, and say "Oh really? So, how did I supposedly do that in this vehicle, when there isn't even a scratch on my back end?" We went around to the back of the car, and took pictures and measurements...sure enough, not so much as a scratch or scuff on that large area of white painted plastic!  We look, and we look....NOTHING!  The estimator says it isn't possible for their to be nothing, not even the slightest blemish!

I really hope my insurance company gets this claim off of my back. I'm not about to have my rates go up for something I didn't do. I'm interested in seeing what kind of proof they are trying to use, and I really would like to see what kind of damage they are trying to claim I caused...if anything, so I can have something to laugh at!
