WoW what an awesome day.

Thank you to the community for making a Mother's Day Celebration.

I was invited to my son's preschool today for a Mother's Day lunch.
And Alice Radio is naming their station after a Mom on Mother's Day.
My son told me I'm the greatest.
And my husband called to tell me how wonderful I am.

It's not even Mother's day and I am feeling the love =)

I am thankful every day to have two wonderful kids and a wonderful husband. Mother's Day for me is a day for me to thank them for being so awesome.

Yesterday before I dropped my son off at school I said, "You're gonna have a GREAT day," he's a beautiful 4 year old boy and says back to me "I hope so."

I said back to him, "Say, I'm gonna have a GREAT day"
"I hope so"
"Say, I'm gonna have a GREAT day"
"I'm gonna have a great day"
"Alright! Go have fun at school and have a great day"

When I picked up my son later that day from school he came running into my arms, "MOOOMMMM, I had a GREAT day!"


When I dropped him off he only had the hope of having a great day, he got to create his great day.

A Santa Clara man lost control of his motorcycle and died in a solo crash south of San Jose Sunday, according to the California Highway Patrol
The 31-year-old man was riding his white Honda CBR 600RR south on San Felipe Road near Metcalf Road around 12:40 p.m., according to the CHP. A CHP spokesman said the motorcycle drifted to the right on to the soft dirt and grass shoulder, and the rider was ejected, but there was no apparent reason for the fatal accident.
The unidentified man hit a tree on the right shoulder and was seriously injured. He died several hours later at Kaiser Santa Teresa hospital after being transported by helicopter.

Steve Kroft from 60 Minutes finds out how accurate your credit report is

40 Million Mistakes: Is your credit report accurate?

1 out of 5 Americans has an error on their credit report. 

20 percent error rate?!

Whether we like it or not, we live in an age where much of what goes on in our daily lives is monitored, collected and sold to interested parties -- our driving records, our medical history, our Internet traffic and, most importantly, our credit information.

A mistake on your credit report can cost you money. It can increase the interest you pay on loans, prevent you from getting a mortgage or buying a car, landing a job or getting a security clearance. Its not uncommon. A new government study to be released tomorrow indicates as many as 40 million Americans have a mistake on their credit report. Twenty million have significant mistakes.

But now the reliability of the industry is being questioned in an 8-year Federal Trade Commission study to be released tomorrow. Jon Leibowitz is the chairman.

Jon Leibowitz: Here's what we found. Some pretty troubling information. One out of five Americans has an error on their credit report. And one out of 10 has an error on their credit report that might lower their credit score.

Steve Kroft: I'm trying to think of another industry where a 20 percent error rate would be acceptable. That's a pretty high error rate.

Jon Leibowitz: It's a pretty high error rate.

Mike DeWine: I think the more we look at this and the more the American people know about this, the madder they're going to get.

San Jose check point Feb 15th 2013

Yes we all know not to drink and drive, unfortunately it takes action like these to in force people to remember not to http://bit.ly/UfH7Z3 because no one wants to get caught. 

Please remember not to drink and drive. 

You can still be charged with a DUI for being associated with a car while intoxicated. So this includes sleeping it off in the back seat. It's better to call a taxi or better yet AAA for a Tipsy Tow. 1-800-AAA-HELP. 1-800-222-4357.

Does your auto insurance policy have rental car reimbursement?

On AAA’s (AAA NCNU) preferred policy auto policy we automatically include rental car reimbursement $25 per day up to $750 per occurrence when involved in an accident.

It’s important to know, not all full coverage policies carry this as standard coverage. Make sure to check with your insurance company to see if you have this.

Why should you think about getting renter's insurance?

Why should you think about getting renter's insurance?

What happens if a candle tips over and catches your apartment on fire?

What happens if you or your neighbor decides to draw a bath and accidentally walks away from the plugged bath and causes a major flood?

What happens if your neighbor starts a cooking fire and it spreads to your unit?

Everyday these 'What if' scenarios occur in apartment communities. So, what happens if a 'what if' scenario occurs to you? There is a possibility if you don't have renter's insurance, you may lose everything!

Just think, your neighbor doesn't always have to pay you for your stuff and your landlord isn't held responsible. In fact, without renter's insurance, even in accidents that you didn't cause, you could be held responsible for replacing your possessions.
