Arkansas

I've made it to Arkansas! Today we met up with my dad's cousins who he hasn't seen in 35 years!!


We had a super yummy meal of burnt hotdogs, potatoe salad and some type of bean. We drove 1.5 hours to Pine Bluff, Ar to enjoy an afternoon of new family. Tomorrow we will be traveling 5 hours to Ok. Aunt Suzie (my FAV aunt) and I will be sharing a flask during this uber fun car ride :)

Centerpiece

At some point I will get married and I will have a reception! So, I have decided that I will start planning now, that way I won't be stressed when the actually time comes! I am done to a choice of three centerpieces...

I LURVE my dog

Happy Weather

I love spring weather. The rain, the chilly days, the hot car in the afternoon with the windows down....it all makes me happy.

I forgot to metion that I now have two listings with a listing appointment on Tuesday, which will make three listings (fingers crossed)

I figured it out

After a wonderful two days in Nemocolin for Bert's award banquet I have learned a few things about myself.

A. I LURVE being pampered. A mani and a pedi and Bert all to myself for two days yup, I love to spoiled. Good thing Bert already knew this.

B. My next house will have a jacquzzi tub....ahhhhh....

C. I am REALLY good and smoozhing with the higher-ups AND their wifeys...
Bert is so lucky!





D. I LURVE my dog the way most people feel about their children.

Trying to be good

This is me trying to pack for five days. I have managed to reduce my suitcase space to half, so that Bert can have half. I am only taking 5 pairs of shoes. It took me half the day! It is hard!!

Real Estate

SO, I have decided to just try Real Estate all by itself for a few months and see what happens. Fingers crossed, peeps. This is the first time in a long time I haven't had two jobs. I make sure to have lots of things to report to Bert, I want him to know I am truly working and not eating bon-bons all day.

I think what Bert likes the best about this job is how clean the house is! AND, on Mon night I cooked dinner. Enough dinner that he could pack his lunch so far this week. The grocery shopping is done, the house is clean, there is food in the ref, laundry is washed and put away....OMG I am f'ing Martha Stewart!!!! AHHHH!!!! Make it stop!!! I need more businnes because I can't go on like this! :)

I'm packing for New Orleans!! I'm going to meet the sinners of Berts family! YAY! No one to judge me!!!!!

I'm ok

Since starting real estate in Oct. I have had the safety net of a very nice part-time job. Two weeks ago they had to terminate my position due to the economy, BUT they gave me til the end of the month. I still haven't found another part-time job to replace this one, but I do have a closing in the beginning of March. I have enough saved to get me through the next month, should I just wait out Feb without a paycheck and concentrate on real estate or should I just work at Starbucks???

Running

I have decided that in order to keep healthy I must have a goal. SO, my goal this year is to run the 1/2 marathon in Pittsburgh. I can run 4-5 miles already, so what is another 7-8? I think Bert is going to be joining me for this run, although he is WAY ahead of me in the training department.

We had a fab weekend in Towanda with my parents. Winston was SPOILED!!! He is now is doggy bootcamp. He didn't have to wear a leash all weekend, there were cows to play with and he was fed people food. He didn't sleep the entire time we were there. When we piled into the car to drive home he was passed out in the backseat in 10 minutes. Today is back to the crate and dog food.
