HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

2010-01-01T01:20:01Z

Hope everyone has a SAFE and HAPPY NEW YEAR.

I am staying home, watching the TV tonight.

Signs of old age

2009-12-12T04:56:13Z

It's Friday night, and I am just sitting home, watching TV. When did I get too old to go out to the bars? Ha ha ha, I knew it would happen, since I was already to old when I first started to visit bars. I never went to a bar before I turned 40.

Well, I sit home, dream of the day (soon) that I will retire, and be done with the 9-5 rat race.

weekend

2009-12-06T02:25:58Z

i look forward to the weekends, but then i sit around, and don't get a lot done. but, today i did laundry, and washed my wallet. ruined my lotto tickets, hope i didn't win.

seems i am averaging 1 showing per day of my home, but batting a big fat zero on offers. i know the right buyer is out there, and will find their new home soon.

blah blah blah

2009-11-15T16:33:13Z

nothing much to say... wishing someone will buy my home soon. doing showings is getting old

Another week

2009-11-06T14:50:44Z

Life is just moving along, 1 week at a time. Well, I feel like I am wasting time now, because I am not at all happy at work. I simply go, get my work done, and my only happy thoughts are about anything that is NOT related to work.

A few more weeks, and Thanksgiving will be here, and I can go visit my family in Indiana.

Open house this weekend. Hope that "one" buyer is going to see my house soon.

Changing the Clock

2009-11-01T13:31:22Z

I don't like that we change our time. Now, it will get darker, earlier, meaning I get less free hours in the sun. I think sunlight and happiness are directly related.

I have not felt very happy the last month or so (Except for the 2 weeks on vacation with my BF)

Now, I will loose some much needed sunlight after my work day.

I wish I could start work 1 hour earlier, to keep the change to a minimum for me.

ARGH!

Thailand was great

2009-10-29T03:54:44Z

Another great time in Thailand.
A great flight home in my "business class" seat.
I love bigger seats !

Packing for Thailand

2009-10-09T04:54:18Z

1 more night in my bed, then a night flight to the land of smiles.

At home

2009-09-27T21:43:29Z

Open House again this weekend. Very tired from cleaning.
Sitting and listening to my IPOD tunes. Makes for a nice Sunday afternoon. Too bad I am not out enjoying this BEAUTIFUL DAY

Monday

2009-09-21T18:40:32Z

Just 2 weeks from the Friday, and I will be on my way back to the LAND OF SMILES. Thailand is heaven on earth. I can't wait to get back.

Ditto

2009-09-20T00:20:21Z

Another weekend, more house cleaning, and open house. So many visitors today. So many nice people. I just need one, to want to buy my home ! ha ha

My Weekend

2009-09-15T03:11:08Z

Over the weekend I worked hard to clean up my home, and on Sunday 2 different people came to view my home. But, sorry to say, no one wanted to buy it. Well, I just keep trying.

Ready for the weekend

2009-09-11T05:10:00Z

Work just isn't much fun any more. I have let them know my intent is to retire by the end of 2010. Sooner if at all financially possible.

Well, I should have tried editing before now, but I usually just make short video clips with my Camera, and upload to my Webshots Site. But, This time, I edited a video, to keep only the best part(s).

This is a short Video of my BF and I.

Many Thoughts...........

2009-07-11T01:50:39Z

I am talking to a Real Estate Agent tomorrow. It's almost time to sell my home I think.

I miss my Pooh so much...

I have a plan, that will let me retire December of 2010. I hope I can achieve that.

I will visit Indiana again soon.

I like work, but don't really trust all that is going on, and I don't trust I will enjoy my job over the next several months. I sure hope I do, because with about 18 months left, it would be great if those months are enjoyable.

Our neighborhood "garage sales" are coming up soon, I plan to sell a lot of things.

Funny

A 3-year-old boy examined his testicles while taking a bath.

'Mum', he asked, 'Are these my brains?'

'Not yet,' she replied.
