I am a gypsy----I have struggled with it my entire life.  I moved pretty much every year of my life until I was 12 years old----and then spent every summer with my father in different places all over the world.  So, it has been ingrained in me early to pick up and go whenever I feel the need.  And, I have done that ALOT in my adult life.

Well, I ( Read more... )

Thanks so much to my wonderful girlfriends for a fabulous time tonight----I am so, so blessed to have all of you!!   Yes, it is now my birthday officially (the 24th), but the girls and I went out to celebrate last night---and I just got home.  I was a designated driver -----so my "party value" was low!!  ----But, I had a great time and I feel so ( Read more... )

Whew!!  Little emotional baggage in that last entry, eh?  Don't worry----I unpacked.

Anyway, had an eventful weekend.  I did go to the 11AM Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at IMAX.  It was phenomenal----go see it----and if you can, see at IMAX.  The visuals are much more fun that way.  That night I went to see Duran Duran----also amazing.  Simon ( Read more... )

My eyes are almost swollen shut from crying----I hope I can type this without too many mistakes.

Ok-----I think my emotional outburst started this afternoon with a funeral train.  Ok, you know, this is the train of cars that all have their lights on---they are the cars that go to the grave site.  I was leaving the bank and there is a long train of ( Read more... )

I went to see Donny Osmond last night.  Thanks "G' for the tickets and passes---it was very kind of you.  Donny was simply AWESOME!!!  He is SUCH an excellent performer!!!  He looked handsome and there is always something sexy about someone who has been married for 27 years with five kids (3 of them in their 20s!!!!).  He even did some little ' ( Read more... )

Well, I just returned from a fabulous brunch with the girls-----lots of catching up with each other can be done after a hard work week and a fun weekend during a wonderful Sunday extravaganza of food.  I had a busy, yet productive work week.  I closed one property Wednesday and got a contract solidified yesterday to close on another one on the 25th ( Read more... )

Well, my 36th birthday is just around the corner...........and I just re-read my post for my 35th birthday last year.  Interesting. Very interesting.

There has been some changes and some growth.  It looks like with my new real estate career that I am going to double my income this year.  That is nice in a very materialistic way.  Does the IRS ( Read more... )

In my years of teaching, I was always pleased when I would read literature with my students and then watch the movie that was made afterwards------and they hated it.  "That wasn't like the book, Ms. Williams!" or "The book is so much better, Ms. Williams." It was so wonderful to show them the VALUE of READING and your OWN IMAGINATION versus ( Read more... )

Ahhhh-----summer.  It has been a warm one so far, I'll tell ya!!!  I like it though-----all the pool and boat options that are available and the yummy summer food fixins.  Yes, I am a food crazed person-----what can I say.  BBQ, taco dip (and I make a yummy one!), fresh fruit, and popsicles (if you don't like popsicles--I just don't trust ya----I ( Read more... )
