Update # 4

Hello Family and Friends,

Just about to get crazy on my Friday night here in EdMonTon... As in I'm washed up for bed and heading there as soon as I hit send. 

But. I knew you (you're like my new blog readers... only I force you to read by sending you my message directly. Thanks btw. lol) would want to know what the deal is with my new boyfriend.

yes. That's right; I have a boyfriend. I didn't consent of course. Being that my sales guy, ROD, told his boss that I'm his girlfriend, refers to me as such in emails and calls me to 'talk about the car' and then wants to discuss us. WTF.

That car that I mentioned that I'm leasing that I got on Saturday and would get in two weeks... they sold it to someone else... and that was the last one. WHAT WAS THE POINT OF MY DEPOSIT AND CONTRACT?!?!? Long annoying story short, ROD sold me another one, a model  up- for less than it markets for, and didn't have it available.. so I went to his boss... who did the same thing with another car. But this time I figured it out because I found the location he was going to get it from and I called them. They didn't  have the car either... it was sold.

SO. I scrapped ROD and his boss and went to that other dealer (in Red Deer Alberta) and am buying a car outside of my initial budget. yayaya.... give me your lessons later. And after i confirmed with ROD and his boss that i would not be buying a car from them and to give me my deposit back, ROD proceeded to call me several times, text me, email ect. 

In his final email, he wrote this:

"I pride myself on being professional and trying to go that extra mile for my customers which is reflected by the numerous repeat and referral customers I have been having lately.

 

And on a personal note, I had a blast with you on your birthday and think your an awesome and very passionate and beautiful woman who is possessed with a fantastic smile and I would love to have hung out with you but I think it might be best we go our separate ways.

Your non responsiveness when I mentioned the " other relationship " (for lack of a better term), several times in previous emails has lead me to believe you just wanted it to remain professional and I fully understand and respect that. Or am I misunderstanding this also?

 

Anyways, thanks for the opportunity to try and earn your business and for the great date,

 

take care of yourself and all the luck," 

Did I tell you he's 42? I love that he almost knows that I'm not interested. Fool. When I told his manager about how weird he was being, he burst out laughing and said that he knew... and that he's never known ROD to date or even talk to women so he can understand how excited ROD must be.

All I'm saying is,.... isn't ROD the name of a car from the movie Cars? I don't know.... definitely not the winning car. I'll ask my nephew.. he's 2 and apparently judges people better than I do..!

WINNING!!

Speaking of which. I purchased a car today (McQueen approved). In Red Deer. It takes about 1.5hours each way to get there. So I'm not sure how I will get there to pick it up... but it's mine as of tomorrow!! Insurance kicks in Monday... any day after that I can get it!!!

I'm a wee bit tired at this moment, due to the near 4 hours that I spent driving plus the test drive time.

which is what spawned me to write this email...

Highway 2, in Alberta, is a massive span of highway... next to the Trans Canada of course. There are more cars in the ditch than there are 'deer crossing' signs than there are cars (as opposed to trucks) than there are cops... 

When I was leaving the dealer at 6:30pm... the sun was almost down and he warned me to watch out for deer (after he suggested that while it would be nice for me to see the mountains and trails, it's probably best that I don't so I don't get mauled by a pack of the various types of animals. In Sum- Wilderness fun alone, is not fun). It's hard to watch for deer, when one mistake at the wheel will land you in 10 feet of ditch... (why dig the ditches down like that?), or when the pot holes are so big you can't be watching the bushes for eyes, or that when you do look for eyes, you see them and slam on your breaks, but the 'eyes' are a ditched cars, reflective gear ect. 

TREACHERY.

I don't know how much it costs at home, but it's $25 with tax to have a chip in your window fixed... it happens so often. I discovered today that Alberta is trying to adopt Ontario's winter road treatment. Just do it. Gravel is unsafe... and I don't want your stupid roads to ruin my new car :D

ALSO. 

This update is really boring. I probably won't even post it on my blog. lol

I'm so tired. 

I hate waking up (well... my alarm goes off at 5:45am, I wake up at about 6, get up at about 6:20 {except the last two days I got up at 6:50 and raced to work.. oops!}, shower and eat by 7 and then smash a coffee and hop in the car by 7:15) so early... If we didn't all eat lunch together, I would nap instead of eating.

speaking of which... seems like winter weight out here is different... it's thicker. lol. fml. but mostly lol.

OK> BORING EMAIL OVER BECAUSE I HAVE TO GO TO BED OR SWIG. OR BOTH.

Preet said she would send me a hug today. I got it, but I haven't opened it yet.. I'm going to do so before bed. but if any of you would like to send me a hug, you have my address. and my email. and my number is still ##########

i miss your hugs.

(Chris, Nicole, Preet, Dad.. I owe you calls or emails back!- thank you for them.)

Also. Locals call the West Edmonton Mall 'West Ed'.... WHY?!?! And can't these damn rednecks say anything properly!? West Ed?! Really? That could mean anything.. west ed apartments west ed community centre, west ed (location) or MAYBE West Ed is West END and I can't understand your lack of enunciation..! 

As someone who cares about me, if you catch a change in the way that I speak, please- tell me, mock me.. do what you have to do to get the old Bobbi talk back... Daddy- do you feel to debate that? HOW YOU DO?! 

If you are unable to get me a hug all the way out here, then please send some or one to 419b dayna crescent. My pregnant sister has two more weeks of work before she's off and I KNOW she could use the energy and love (I LOVE YOU SISTER!).

Love you. miss you.

I cry every time I write that, and just before I push send. It's a happy sad cry. Because, like I said, love you- miss you.

I drew you a picture of the roads. It's selling for like, oh I don't know, the same price as other famous art is selling for in Edmonton... so, don't try and copy it.

stay well.

Love.

Ps. "I googled you"
