TABOO TRUTHS

Since moving to Virginia I’ve had to find a new bank, new insurance, new doctors, new favorite places to have a glass of wine….  But there is one new that makes a woman quiver…a new place for car repair!  I pride myself on knowing a great many things and educating myself on things I do not, but cars??  It feels overwhelming to me.  There is nothing more uneasy than taking your automobile in for service then perspiring, waiting for the phone call listing all the things that need repair.  Then getting the estimate!  A girl wants to run to her Daddy…and I do!

My Dad has always been my “go to” guy when it comes to gauging whether I’m getting ripped off or not.  He has maintained and repaired our family cars for years!  I know, he knows cars.  But since relocating it’s unrealistic to expect him to assist.  I believe I found the place I can trust!  Tuffy Car Care enter on Richmond/250 in Pantops!  Chris and his team are hard working and trustworthy.  How do I know?

I’ve had them give me a second opinion twice on issues with my Pontiac and both times they had less invasive options that have proven to solve the problems and last!  There are some places in Cville that push repairs and services that aren’t necessary.  These guys give it to you straight and with a fair price!  My tip for today?  Go to Tuffy for your inspection and repairs.  They are my “car Dad” in Cville.  Where do you go?

When it comes to eating I would categorize myself as more of a “snack-er”.  Whether eating little meals throughout the day is the way to weight loss or just an obsessive way to intake nutrition, it’s my preference.  Attending to our marketing agency most often requires long stints at our desk.  Renee and I share a large office with our desks facing each other, touching.  The brilliance of creative brainstorming, negotiations of media placement and carving out business plans all happen in this space.

We have become….well, almost obsessed with wasabi peas!  My gentleman friend has always been a fan and I have enjoyed them in moderation over the past several years.  The recent months of more work than hours in a day to execute, we have taken to snaking on these little gems!  Not for the faint of tongue, they can pack a hot jolt!  They are crunchy, tangy and satisfying!  We don’t have a particular favorite brand, Aurora hold the current desk equity.  If you need a pick-me up while chained at your desk?  This would be my tip!  My TTT, that is.  Have you tried them?
