In The Gulf: Humberto

There was much excitement yesterday when a simple tropical depression suddenly became stronger and set it's sights on Galveston. The wind and rain really picked up during the late evening hours, but the storm passed on by and made landfall farther up the coast.
I had loaded up on snacks and beer thinking we would have the day off today to watch the rain, but all is well and we had to get up and go to work.....phooey.

Happy Ending...see above!!!!

Work Related: Open House

I hate open house.

It's funny when you watch those house flipper shows on HGTV (you know you do) they always have about a zillion people show up for the open house and almost always they sell it that day.

My open houses usually go two ways.
Seller wants an open house like they have on TV

1.Nobody shows up.
or
2.Only nosey neighbors show up
Seller is mad because the house didn't sell at open house like it does on TV

Now yesterday I held one of my listings open at the request of my client.

I brought the cookies and the drinks and of course some contracts and expecting the worst, set up my computer to play on POGO.

Well guess what?

People came! All buyers!

I didn't write a contract BUT not only did I get very important feedback on the property (good and bad) I also picked up 3 new clients who have not yet chosen a realtor to work with and 2 of those have loans set up already.

I love open house!

Home Improvements

It's hard to believe that as of this week we have been

in the house for three whole years.

I remember one of the first things we wanted to do

and STILL have NOT done is take down the
borders above the kitchen cabinets

It's that yucky contact paper that you would
line shelves with.

It came down pretty easy!

Snoopervisers!

To be continued....

Project Babycats Update

The babycats are quickly becoming big cats!

Tomorrow they go to the adoption group to be

tested for disease, evaluated for adoption,

and if accepted into the program, fixed for free.

Sawyer

Jack

Please keep good thoughts that they do not

pull the "we are feral" routine tomorrow!

UPDATE:

I loaded them up around 6:30am and headed for Houston.

About half way I checked my voicemail and there was one from late last night from the adoption group changing the appt to Sept 12th. I've already been on a waiting list for 3 weeks...sigh.
So, I turned around and went down to the clinic where I had taken their Momma and they could not take them today, but let me make an appointment for Friday.
I just don't want to wait two more weeks.

Hopefully the group will still let us take them to the adoption events.

Work Related: Just Busy

I'm around....just trying to get something sold by the end of the month.
I'm getting a little beat up out there right now.
Such is the world of sales I suppose.

Regular blogging will resume soon...:)

Shopping: Yet Another Useless Gadget

I usually do not fall for thingys hanging on pegs hoping to catch the eye of that impulse shopper, but there next to some huge ripe tomatoes was a handy dandy tomato slicer for the tempting price of only $3.99!

Yes, it's stuck.

I never learn.
