I learned in music school that no one is listening until you make a mistake. It seems to work like that in life too.

I was working in a customer service telemarketing position for nine months last year, the whole time following the scripts, doing exactly as told. It was money. And then one day I get this guy on whose name was Alf.  Really, like the character in the TV show.  So I just kinda fit into the conversation something about him liking cat juice. He totally didn’t get it, but I just started that snorting kind of laugh. Totally lost it.

And of course that was one of the calls that my supervisor was listening in on. I got fired on the spot.

Needless to say, this created a financial problem, just when I had a trip planned to see a buddy in Texas.  What to do?  Ever the resourceful fellow, I went online and found a respectable car title loans store, Richton Park Title Loans. I liked how it was simple and I got my money in less than two days. That car title loan got me to Austin, where I’m thinking about moving to after this winter.

By the way Richton Park is near Matteson, Park Forest, Tinley Park, Floosmoor, and Homewood.

A wise aunt of mine once said, for every action there is an equal and opposite criticism.

She said that probably about a hundred years ago, and it’s still true today.  And even though she never met him, she could have been talking about my husband.

Trevor, bless him, doesn’t understand money. He just doesn’t.  He doesn’t understand that when you have a balance on your credit card, the fact you’re paying your minimum monthly balance doesn’t mean it will be paid off some day.  He never looks at the interest rate charges, the 28% on those cards that happens when he misses a month here and there.  And that just because you made a $400 payment doesn’t mean you should go out and spend another $400.

We got in debt deep lately, particularly when he was off work due to an injury.  Disability covers some, but not all the expenses.  It’s less than what he was making, anyway. So we had a little come to Jesus on this and realized we needed to find some cash to keep up his health insurance premiums. Without that, his medical expenses would be even worse.  So I looked at his car and said, let’s sell it. He of course went through the roof. Which was my ploy.

I had in mind all along to get a car title loan.  I already knew to go to Park Forest Title Loans, because my daughter said her boyfriend went there too and it worked out well.  With a car title loan, you keep the car, you just get some money that you pay back gradually.  I knew Trevor would get back to work in about two months, so I saw this as a way to get through it.  And we did.  And he now knows not to criticize.

By the way Park Forest is near Matteson, Olympia Fields, Chicago Heights, Crete, Richton Park.

I’m blonde and kinda hot, and no matter the fact I graduated from Marian Cathlolic High School and am studying at Chicago State, everyone assumes I’m dumb. I hear all the jokes: my purse is a bimbag, my figure is from going to the bimbastic surgeon, I carry a bimbeeper so I don’t get lost (it’s a GPS), I speak like bimbonese with my blonde girlfriends.

Oh yeah? Well lemme tell all you jealous brunettes and dorks from Homewood-Flossmoor high school, I know how to manage things when the chips are down. When I get pulled over by the cops in Chicago, it doesn’t hurt to unbutton a top button and then tear up a little. When my dog does a poopie on the sidewalk and I don’t have a plastic bag, I go to the first person I see and complain about how rude that other person must be who left it there.

I was short on cash not too long ago, and that’s when I found Chicago Heights Title Loans, a great way to get money from your car. Now, I am not about to sell my Beetle, but all I had to do was fill out their form on the Internet and the next day I had cash. Easy! Title loans help you when you need them most.  Smart girls know this no matter how they color their hair.

By the way Chicago Heights is near Lansing, Lynwood, Munster, Park Forest, and Glenwood.
