Reading Aloud

Posted on Aug 8, 2011 by in Miscellaneous

Back to a regular, slice-of-life-in-the-Tri-Cities post, as opposed to a real estate-related post… About a week ago, I felt like I hadn’t been spending any time with my kids.  I had worked all weekend, until late, then out the door first thing Monday to work late again every night through Wednesday.  Finally, on Thursday evening, [...]

Memorial Day

Posted on May 30, 2011 by in Holiday, Miscellaneous

I went to my favorite quote website to see if I could find a good Memorial Day-related quote to post as my Facebook status for the day.  The problem was that I found a lot that I liked.  As I really only felt like I could choose one for Facebook, I decided to list many [...]

V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N…in the summer sun!!

Posted on May 1, 2011 by in Miscellaneous

Hi, all! I will be in sunny Hawaii this next week, so no Friday photo, and no April stats until I return.  If you need real estate help while I’m gone, call my voice mail and you can hear the names and numbers of the agents covering for me.  Or, wait until I get back [...]

Sidenote About Me

Posted on Apr 3, 2011 by in Buyers, Miscellaneous, Sellers

When I was growing up, I was the “smart one”.  You know how everyone has a role in his or her family of origin?  My oldest brother was the rebel, my middle brother had “Middle Child Syndrome” – we called it MCS, for short.  And I was the “smart one”.  My brothers went away to [...]

You’ve Been There Before

Posted on Jan 20, 2011 by in Miscellaneous

This post is not about déjà vu. It’s about parenting.

Falling of the Legends

Posted on Jan 8, 2011 by in Miscellaneous

Every family has its legends.  In my family we have “The Time When Jon Ate Dog Beef Jerky” and “The Time Dad Dropped The Boys Off On A Street Corner Because They Were Misbehaving” and “The Time Cari Ran Into The Coffee Table”.  We also have “The Time Jim Almost Died”. I have two older [...]

What to do, what to do…

Posted on Jan 5, 2011 by in Miscellaneous

See, I’m in a quandary. I gained seven pounds over the holidays.  That is not a typo – I meant to write seven (7)! So now I have to lose it again.  Or do I? Here’s the trouble – when I gain this particular group of pounds (and believe me, I’ve seen this seven number [...]

New Year, New Blog Use

Posted on Jan 2, 2011 by in Buyers, Miscellaneous, Sellers, Tri-Cities, WA

OK, I admit it, I don’t do well writing about real estate.  Some say I come across snotty, a little bit snarky, even condescending.  And of course, that’s not what I’m trying to do.  I like putting out stat posts every once in while, when the stats come out.  But posting once or twice a [...]
