I still get emails from some of the sales people and dealers we didn't go with. A vacation just the two of you sounds fun! Kids are great but sometimes you need that break.

I told them just give me my keys back, I didnt like the pressure sell. They refused. It came down to us threatening to call the cops to get my keys back - it was INSANE!Rebecca Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03965781380511208862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91257313128798748.post-65020143190874152152017-04-06T08:38:17.564-07:002017-04-06T08:38:17.564-07:00I would have been really annoyed about that traini...I would have been really annoyed about that training class too, a reminder would have been nice.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092211937888152360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91257313128798748.post-24364073887454782212017-04-06T08:11:09.512-07:002017-04-06T08:11:09.512-07:00I'm glad you're starting to feel like your...I'm glad you're starting to feel like yourself again.

Now my mini chopper, I use it 2-3 times a week! <br />https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-DLC-2ABC-Processor-Brushed-Chrome/dp/B0000645YM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1491485486&sr=8-3&keywords=mini+chopper <br /><br />It's pretty cheap, doesn't take up a lot of storage space and is a beast. I use it for salsa, chopping onions & garlic, making salad dressing (cilantro lime vinaigrette for the win!) or Asian sauces and mushrooms for my lettuce wraps! It's so easy to clean and dishwasher safe. It's definitely my most used small appliance.
