Good Riddance August

I do not like the month of August and I’m so glad it is over.  Good riddance August.

July 20, 2009

The blog posts have been running a little dry lately.  Believe me, I have content, all in the form of blog post drafts.  But they are half baked, waiting for the inspiration to come and finish each post with a flourish.  However, the days have dragged on and nothing has flourished.
So therefore, you now get [...]

5 Internet Things That Had Me ROFL This Week

It’s been a crazy, stressful week.  However even in all of the madness, I still found 5 things online that had me rolling on the floor laughing.  Which is nice, because I’ve needed a good laugh.

Literal Videos on YouTube
OMGWTFBBQ!
At least I am not the only bad parent out there.
Lindsay Lohan is looking for a date.

Kindling Up Some Lunch Money

I’m a huge Amazon Kindle fan. No surprise, I’m a nerd. I have had one for a little over a year now and sometimes have a really hard time putting it down.
I’m also a blogger (duh) and now my extraordinary and often profound blog posts can be read on the Amazon Kindle. I [...]

Under Construction

Thanks for puting up with me during the blog changes.  Stay tuned!

Did You Intend to Flip That House?

There were probably 60 REALTORS there to hear what we had to say about managing rental properties, hear our war stories and share theirs. Or maybe [...]

Snapped

I get sucked into that show “Snapped” on the Oxygen Network.  Don’t ask, it’s not one that I want to explain.  So as I sit here watching Snapped reruns, I have got to thinking about what makes me snap.  Understand that when I snap, I just yell, scream, cry and cuss (and blog).  I don’t [...]

Scrapblogging

I can now combine two of my passions…blogging and scrapbooking.  Not that I’ve done much of either lately, but I consider myself a geeky multi-tasker, so why not put them both together in the same application? The ScrapBlog site is a little cumbersome to use, but I had fun pulling together my pictures, arranging, tweaking [...]

The Door Was Unlocked, So I Moved In

It amazes me how many Tenants think that they can do whatever they want. Their immaturity and know-it-all attitude often shows when they say and do dumb things like this juicy tidbit that I heard today.
We signed a lease with three college students 2 weeks ago. As a typical clause in our [...]
