Okay so maybe not in full swing, I barely touched my toes in a pool since Summer's official start, but it's June 12th, and I'll be damned if it's not summer!  You may know that we are open every Saturday and it's the best and busiest day of the week so of course I'm at the store.  Tuesday's are my Saturday's and I got a great one…

As a woman, you may think I meant "that time of the month" but no no no, I really meant "the end of the month"  That's how you know I'm in the car business ladies and gentlemen.  It's wild, crazy, frantic, fun, pressuring, and exciting all at the same time.

Not sure about you but I am so so tired of this cold weather.  Earlier this week I got a sunburn and now I am all like...

Happy Friday everyone!  I am not sure about you but this week kicked my butt and I am happy that we are going into the weekend.  Of course we're open tomorrow for your shopping convenience but the weekend still means Sunday.  And this Sunday is special because it's Mother's Day!  I am really looking forward to spending time celebrating M-O-M.

I saw this great video online today and I just had to?

Well would you look at that?  It's May already!  I have been busy working to make the store better and then enjoying the sunshine we've been having.  Everyone came into work today with sun-kissed skin after working in their yards yesterday - me included!  It feels so great to get outdoors more often now.  I must say my favorite part of the day is when I'm on my runs -- OUTSIDE!  Thank goodness for this Spring weather because I was beginning to go insane with all the snow and cold winds and the rain.  Thank you April showers...HELLO…

I am pleased to let everyone know that we are revamping our Finance/Business Department at the store.  When the announcement came that I would start as General Manager my focus shifted to areas of the store that I thought could use improvement.  One of those areas included our Finance/Business Department. 

Having worked in that department for a handful of years, I can tell you have a grasp on what works and what doesn't.  In my new role at the store, I am excited to implement some changes that will be better for us, as the dealer and…

With the events of this week unfolding in Boston, I am reminded that life is precious and that we (I) shouldn't take our family members and friends for granted.  My heart hurt the day of the bombing during the Boston Marathon.  I like to run and stay fit myself, and I know that running the Boston Marathon is a life-goal fulfilled for many runners on Monday.  It is very tragic that the dream turned?

This week I had the chance to spend some QT with my family, including my father, Jeff Joseph.  After this time spent, I thought it would nice to dedicate my blog to him.

This is going to be a bit of a rant, but hey, it's my blog and I can rant if I want to.  And I know I am not the only person who struggles with this so here we go.

Yesterday, I assisted a friend with a vehicle negotiation out of state. I'm a nice gal, and I know not everyone can buy from me, so I helped.  Here's how it went…

Did you ever come across a nail in the road and it kindly stuck itself right into your tire and you were stranded having to wait for a service to assist you or some friend or family member in-the-know.  Do you end up scratching your head wondering if you are being taken advantage of at your routine maintenance shops(not here of course, DJ is honest!)?  Wouldn't you like to be the expert?

I was thinking about this the other day when a friend of mine had a flat tire and had to wait for over an hour for…
