HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

Fri, 01 Jan 2010 01:20:01 GMT

Hope everyone has a SAFE and HAPPY NEW YEAR.

I am staying home, watching the TV tonight.

Signs of old age

Sat, 12 Dec 2009 04:56:13 GMT

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

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 02:25:58 GMT

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

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

Another week

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:50:44 GMT

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

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 13:31:22 GMT

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

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

Packing for Thailand

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

At home

Sun, 27 Sep 2009 21:43:29 GMT

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

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 18:40:32 GMT

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

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

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 03:11:08 GMT

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

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 05:10:00 GMT

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...........

Sat, 11 Jul 2009 01:50:39 GMT

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.
