SURPRISED MY MAN

BILL GOT REAR ENDED A FEW DAYS AFTER I BROKE MY LEG. I KNOW, IT WAS A CRAZY WEEK! IT WAS MINOR, HE WAS THE THIRD CARD TO GET HIT, SO IT WAS ONLY MINOR DAMAGE TO THE BACK BUMPER OF HIS BELOVED TOYOTA HYBRID PRIUS.

HE HAS BEEN SO AMAZING IN TAKING CARE OF ALL OF US AND TAKEN ALL MY LOAD OF THE HOUSE WORK AND MANAGING AND JUGGLING HIS SCHEDULE TO ACCOMODATE ALL OF US DURING THIS TIME.
I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING NICE FOR HIM, SURPRISE HIM. WHICH IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DO. I DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING TO THE PRIUS WHILE IT WAS IN THE BODY SHOP. I CALLED THE GUY, CHUCK, VERY NICE MAN AND TOLD HIM MY PLAN. HE REFERRED ME TO A GUY NAMED RUPINDER WHO HAS A SHOP RIGHT BEHIND THE DEALERSHIP. CHUCK WAS NICE ENOUGH TO OFFER TO DRIVE THE CAR THERE AND PICK IT UP WHEN THEY WERE FINISHED. THAT IS GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!

I COULDN'T DECIDE WHEATHER TO ADD A BLUETOOTH SYSTEM OR XM SATELITE RADIO. I TRIED TO HINT AROUND ON WHICH SYSTEM HE WOULD PREFER BUT HE DIDN'T GIVE ME ANY CLUE OR INDICATION ON WHICH HE MIGHT LIKE.
AFTER TALKING TO OUR FRIEND CORDELL AND MY FAVORITE BROTHER-IN-LAW TARO, BOTH XM RADIO OWNERS, I DECIDED TO GO WITH XM!
THIS SLOWED DOWN THE PROCESS OF BILL GETTING HIS CAR BACK, AND WAS NOT PLEASED WITH CHUCK IN THE DELAY. POOR CHUCK, HE HAD A COUPLE OF UNPLEASANT CONVERSATIONS WITH MY IMPATIENT HUSBAND!!

BILL LOVED HIS SURPRISE!! THE SYSTEM CAN BE BROUGHT IN THE HOUSE TO USE, SO I ALSO GET TO LISTEN TO IT, AND WE ALSO HAVE AN ACCOUNT ON LINE. SO FAR, WE LOVE IT! I PLAN ON SENDING A LETTER TO CHUCK'S SUPERVISORS TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT A GREAT EMPLOYEE THEY HAVE, HE WAS AWESOME.
