SO NOW YOU KNOW!

LOL ok, so for the few (and I am talking FEW) (2) to be exact that read my last post…sorry I have NO idea how computers work, remember I am an employee who plugs along….not really having a clue that if you are on a computer and try to log into your WORK blog and add a post, that realtors in the industry, (don’t even look at) but I am suppose to do it anyway…

OH never mind…it was a total goof.  I just wanted to educate anyone who thought it might me interesting…which it is NOT about what I do……LOL

This world of realtors….anyone who is one; is dying because I didn’t cap the name realtors…and put the copyright mark at the end YADA YADA YADA (you can tell I really care right?)

SO.. we did a quick trip up North to see “the little rascals”, papa and I took them to the park…of course stopped at the store to buy them late birthday presents, (it is all about the presents) then went to the park, they played for an hour or so…(we missed Lauren’s BD in Sept and Owen’s Oct. 3rd.

You actually need a masters degree in order to un-box a toy now-a-days. Lauren was soooo patient but it was worth it to her..and of course I forgot to put my scissors in my purse, so nail clippers worked and so did a screw driver.

the smiles were so worth it!

 

 

 

this was the fun part…I wish I was a “great” photographer and actually knew what I was doing.  What I did know is that it was the wrong time of day to be taking pictures…the sun was just NOT in the right spot, but as you can see…it doesn’t matter…it is all about the subject and you can NEVER get the perfect family picture…even though the family is PERFECT.

as you can see the sun was not in the right place, too many shadows..on both sides of the yard..

there is going to be a day of do-overs for sure and it will not be a rush hurry up before papa and I have to leave and go home! This is an adorable family no matter if the lighting was wrong.   Oh by the way Owen received a very nice award from his school.  He is in kindergarten now and his teacher tells his mom that he is such a big helper and so nice to others and works so hard in school.

mikes oct 2011 119 Owen is very proud of this award that gets to stay posted in his yard for the month!  Pretty cool they recognize the children this way. 

Well that’s the story…so now you know….. :) it is Thursday! hooray!

Does anyone get excited for the weekend when you don’t have to worry about the alarm going off and having to get out of bed?

A touch of home

Everyone and every creature deserves a place to call home don’t you think?

So I had Huh-honey think out of the box….literally…. and this is what he came up with.

He gave these beauties away for prizes to 3 lucky Realtors when he was a sponsor at a meeting here at my the office.  I think they were happy, but sadly not one of them thanked him for their bird house after the meeting.  There were about 80 agents there and he made it fun when he drew their names.   He and 2 other sponsors provided a continental breakfast as well, hoping to promote business for themselves.  BuilderBob is a handyman, that’s what he does now and then,  now that he is retired.

It made me sad….because I work here….and he put so much effort into these because I asked him to.  I will never ask him to be a sponsor for a meeting again.

They started like this….

and have turned into beautiful creations that any bird of a feather would be happy to call home…

I plan on keeping a couple myself and then hopefully selling some for Christmas presents to make a little extra cash.  His ideas are endless…  I prefer a chimney on my house don’t you?  I am hoping to get some orders for him to start making more….

 

 

on a lighter note:  Does anyone recall the episode of Seinfeld where George makes himself a little sleeping place under his desk?

A little ambiance goes a long way don’t you think?  yes..that is a lamp, my kindle, 2 pillows, a blanket, (there is NOT someone under that blanket (!) a picture of me and my honey, and a tiny T.V.  that only gets one channel.    Clearly I am missing a bag of popcorn and a large coke. 

And yes…work as usual…

If anyone is wondering…next time I tell the office gals I am taking a Costanza break…they will know where to find me!

PS it is not dark enough in my office with 10,oo0,000 watts of light to even take a nap, unless I actually turn off the lights and close the door, but then, I wouldn’t be here, thank goodness!

just sayin’
