Re-registered to vote

No comments

I re-registered to vote, before the deadline, and I still have not received my registration card! I really feel the need to vote in this election. There is too much going wrong in this country to not have my vote counted.

Don’t stop exercising…

No comments

Don’t stop exercising, because if you do it long enough, you’ll like how you look/feel.  Then, inevitably you will stop for one reason or another and then you will want to start again.  Now exercising is great and all except for when you first start/restart. I’m in the restart phase right now.  I’ve been to [...]

Ok, so the title says it all but don’t ever close on two properties on the same day…EVER!  Getting the check from their mortgage company took three days!  Normally, when closing on a single piece of property, the buyer will get their check that day, at the table.  Apparently when you close on two properties [...]

In Orlando

No comments

Well I’m in Orlando now.  I made it here in about twelve and a half hours.  Google maps said 16; yahoo maps said just over 13.  I found a good little pack of cars from Alabama to Florida and we all rode at about 90 or 95.  It is good to be back in Florida!

Back from Bermuda

No comments

Well I’m back from my vacation in Bermuda. The cruise was great, the island was gorgeous and the food was awesome (so awesome that I gained 10 pounds!). I’m tired from all of my travels and dealings with family, both blood and the in-law type so I will post a single picture for now.

That’s right people, the house is showing tonight! There aren’t even pictures on the web and someone is coming by tonight to check it out! Looks like I’ve got to clean up a bit and mow the yard in this blazing 95 degree heat! The showing realtor sold this house originally and he thinks the [...]
