I’m having a midnight snack while I type. My hours have gotten a little “off” since I’ve become my own boss. I might have to fire me.
Anyhoo, Michael and I helped some friends at their wine and cheese event recently at a lovely old mansion here in town. They put on these events at various [...]
I’m sorry my posting has been so erratic as of late. I’ve been so busy, I’ve gone WAY over our minutes on our cellular phone plan. The broadband phone adapter I ordered has not yet arrived, although I ordered it about three weeks ago. It seems they’ve lost my request. Of course, I can only [...]
Well, Contractor 2 has a second helper now for the House 14 rehab. And, my internal money meter has been acting up–so, I decided to check the numbers to see how much we’ve spent so far. Contractor 2 said he’d have House 14 rehabbed for $25K max. And, so far, we’ve already spent $18K or [...]
Where do I begin…. Oh, yeah! Our offer was accepted on another house! House 15 is a dump–I’ll just tell you that right now. I first saw it when I got an email from a foreclosure service I use. I thought, hmmm, right price range, good area, super ugly! A day later, a different house [...]
I think it’s probably well known by now that I’m a little obsessive with this real estate stuff. Here I am at 2:15 am strategizing at my pc on a Friday night. Pathetic! BUT, after starving myself of sleep (not that I would sleep right now anyway, even if I went to bed) I think [...]
Ok, I admit it. I got kinda depressed in the face of adversity–at least, for about a day. But, it wasn’t the kind of depression where you sit around and mope–no, sir. I got up the next day and started plotting a potential new course. But, still, it was tough to fight the disappointment.
During my [...]
Yesterday was a very frustrating day for me.
Michael got a call that Property Manager 2 was approached by three guys with knives while he was showing a house (not one of ours), asking for his wallet. PM 2 pulled out a gun (I guess you have to be prepared). Then, the three guys ran away. [...]

I spent almost the entire afternoon at my hair guy’s salon yesterday cleaning up his malware infection. And, I didn’t even get a freaking discount on my hair! What’s THAT about???
I think I really will think twice before lending him my time in the future–it’s just too valuable. I really like him, though–he’s one of [...]
I experienced tons of elation and relief when I found out my day job was being eliminated. In fact, it felt just like I was graduating BOTH high school and college. I still feel that relief and overwhelming joy about twice a day–usually in the mornings, when I can roll over and go right back [...]
