You know how when you are running errands that have to be finished by the end of the day -- there's a deadline tomorrow. You're thinking about how your day went, what calls you need to still make and getting the errands run so you can get home, change into comfortable clothes, eat dinner and have some time to spend on Active Rain.
Well, that's what I was doing yesterday. I needed supplies to put together some gift baskets for our company charity golf tournament tomorrow. Parked the car, went into my favorite craft store -- ahhh, found what I needed but of course since I was there I may as well as look around and see what other treasures I might find, so it wasn't the "quick" trip I had planned on. Paid for my purchases and went out to my car, put the bags in the trunk and got in the car and headed for home. I didn't even realize that my 2 very best friends weren't waiting for me in the car! My companion and I were talking about business and the golf tournament and our weekend plans.
This morning I had an early appointment. Still, I didn't give my friends a second thought . . . until after the appointment. All of a sudden I realized something was wrong there was something missing! Where's "GG"? I looked all over my car for her, she was no where to be found -- popped the trunk, why would she be in the trunk, I didn't put her there! She was gone -- stolen out of my car! Oh, well, I would get the last laugh, she doesn't work without her remote control . . . pulled over into a parking lot, I know it's here, "GG" navigated me to yesterday's early morning appointment so I know her remote control is right heeeere -- no, it wasn't! Hmmm, I guess the thieves knew what they were looking for. I continue on to my next appointment -- suddenly, I remember, OMG! HP was here in the car too!!! No, they didn't -- they took HP too! Pulled over again, what else did they take, opened the console to see, hmmm, Floyd Wickman CD's are still there -- guess they weren't interested in being a "Sweat Hog". Emergency house key, yes, it's there, hmmm, there was a new tin of Altoids in there -- they're gone and the pepper spray another real estate friend had given me -- just in case -- yep, it's gone too.
This afternoon, I went out and replaced my dear friends . . . not the Altoids and Pepper Spray - eventually, I will but not today. I replaced my dear "GG" with a newer model, she's easier to read and program and has Bluetooth and will play MP3 files - yes, a new, improved model. Also replaced HP - I was thinking about replacing HP anyway and was going to give the older model to a friend's granddaughter who wanted a digital camera. The old HP takes great photos and has a new 1G memory card - he might need some new batteries but replace them and he's good as new - just a little larger and heavier than the newer models and the newer models can do a lot more than he could. Yes, I'm going to miss my old friends but I will get to know my new friends and enjoy the trips and memories we create together."GG" was with me for almost 3 years and navigated me and my clients around San Antonio, New Braunfels, Bexar, Kendall, Comal and Guadalupe Counties. And dear HP, has been helping me record personal memories as well as photographing clients homes for 7 years!
