who should be listing their
home soon
near victoria gardens

corporate tax stuff
soon!
was interviewed
last night late
for an article
that is supposed
to print about me
this weekend
in the local newspaper
how exciting!!
going to try to go back
to bed for at least a little
bit, maybe at least, rest
my eyes. can't do that
while i'm driving
lol
have a flier for coca
that i need to drop off
this am, before my
first appt.
i'll be there with bells
on when my printer opens!!
ciao ciao~~
friday am

coca tract
just networking the
home around to
see if i'd sell it
this weekend
we shall see
yesterday
it was nice to say bye
to a friend of mine
who is moving out of
state
it was cute, "r"
as i was leaving that
we both got teary eyed.
i hope i get to see you again
remember, next time you're
back, i want to take you
out for lunch
i know the chances of me
visiting you are slim
since we're not really
that close
thank you again for remembering
me after all these years!!
(what a blessing you
are to me)
and i hope somehow
i'll be able to 'give' back
as well
thank you for your help
with, um, once i get it,
i guess i can reveal what
i'm talking about
(sorry that i can't say yet
~ it's still premature)

freedom of the seas
Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas is the most anticipated new ship since the Queen Mary 2.
The vessel was recently transferred from Aker Yards in Finland to Hamburg, Germany for finishing touches.
The largest cruise ship ever built will depart Hamburg on April 25 for a transatlantic voyage to New York City, where she will be christened. Her inaugural voyage is June 4.
Freedom of the Seas will carry a maximum of 4,370 passengers and feature an Everlast full-size boxing ring, the FlowRider surfing simulator and interactive water park.
She will also be equipped with two cantilevered whirlpools extending twelve feet out from the side of the ship.
If you're interested in a sneak peek at the new ship, click here for a couple of interesting photos of her icy departure from Finland.

**hope you enjoy this

thanx melissa!!
wednesday morning
and it's kinda drizzly
up printing forms for turner ave.
...and also doing research
in my old neighborhood in alta
loma....also going to call on
availability for showings in
mostly upland, but maybe
alta loma & rancho cucamonga
too....it's a dry run for a client
and i to see if there's anything
that would prevent them from
renting.
why rent these days??
hardly any reasons to do it
although if situation is right
for the person, i'm not against
it.
just don't want anyone not
to own in still a rising market
like we're still in.
well, talk later.....
vintage art finds
here are some vintage
art finds
i found for the trunks
these should look
great on them!
will today's art
ever be vintage?
(not in ourlifetime)
la times, daily bulletin or the sun?
great offer from la times
$99 for a year
plus you get a subscription
to a mag (traveler, wired, gq, lucky

couldn't sleep!
went to bed around 9pm tonight
and didn't or wasn't able
to sleep...
too much going on in my head
i guess...??
real estate can be so wonderful
and at the same time it's one of
those jobs that it's hard to stop
thinking about all the details
sometimes
the wheels just keep turning
no matter how hard i try
to turn them off
gonna do some household
things like pay the bills
etc.
was thinking that i am
so appreciative today
that i am able to
pretty much keep my
bills in check
and afford a good
life
i am thankful for my
clientele and the
trust and confidence
(along with the friendships
i've built along the way)
that they have
extended to me
grazie mille!!
had some ideas tonight
about decoupage~ing
on the new trunks
i got
think i'm going to try
to get some old italian
newspapers and line
the trunks, and maybe
even the outside
(here and there) with
old italo americano
newspapers
thanks for the idea stef!
had dinner w/stef tonight
actually did a wine tasting
together....nice to catchup
on what's happening in
each other's lives
tomorrow i'm listing
a condo near fourth
and turner
it will be priced @ $375K
and is 2 bedrooms + a loft
with an attached two-car
garage
great complex and
my client bought it from
me years ago
it's looking great (since i
had last sold it to her) and
i expected nothing less
she's another who is moving
out of state....where are
you all going?
how am i supposed to stay
in business with 1/2 of my
clientele who are listing
moving out of ca?? LOL
someone in my old neighborhood
called me today to see
if i could maybe sell their home
so i'm headed over there tomorrow
or thursday to try and see if we can
get the property on the market
i know they know other realtors
so i'm maybe a bit anxious about
it. hopefully it works out.
obviously, i'll do what i can to
help and get the business.
was able to have lunch with
papa and nonna today.....
really trying to fit as much
time with my family in these
days with nonna being almost
91 now.....she was doing well
and papa was too. just talked
to him about 20 minutes ago...
he's up late tonight
well better get to my bills!
they are smiling and winking
@ me.....
nightee night!!
and didn't or wasn't able
to sleep...

@ the office...meant to be
hello
how are you doing??
i hope that your day is prosperous!!
got my new fliers
@ darlene court
yeah!!!
headed to meet
my seller(s) @
diamond place
did i tell you
she's a licensed
as an agent or
broker?
ravonna is a
very cool woman...
and i'm not just
saying that.
don't you think that
things happen
no matter what
when they are supposed
to? i can't believe
that i got to work
with her after 6+ years
and only really meeting
@ the sales office
of the new homes she
was working at
i'm hoping that the
buyers for darlene
get their home sold
quickly
they have another 10 days
or so @ this time
i'd better go
seems i'm always
running late
and i'd like to be
early
for ravonna today
also, have a goody
for her new home
(out of state) that
is kinda spiritual
in nature
and will hopefully
bring them lots
of positive good
inner feelings
each time they
see it...i only hope
that they like it.
bye for now....

becoming one of "those guys"
there, they're, & their!!
tonight while
i was working
out @ the gym
i became
one of "those
guys" on their
cell phone
( i know, how
annoying!!!)
who is riding
the bicycle
and working
out....like
who doesn't
have time
to spend
on themselves...
well, today was
just one of those
days where all
i did
was work...
and glad i did.
so there! lol
made me look
@ those guys
differently though
now, that i've seen
what or why
they're actually
having to talk on
their cell
while their in
the gym and
working out
(trying to
destress??)
it was certainly
worthwhile
for me to
do it....and
i'm thankful
although i don't
think i will try
to make a habit
of this....
have to regroup
tonight
now, it's almost 9pm
and shower
after my workout
got a pq letter from
the buyer's lender
tonight after the
gym, hope i didn't
stink.
gotta get my darlene
fliers reprinted
i wish the printers
were open right
now, i'd go do
it tonight.
followed up on two
potential listings
that are coming up
one this week
(hopefully)
and one in 2-3 weeks
or a month or so
near the new mall
(vg)
got a carpet quote
on one of them
and called the seller
w/the number
i hope she was
surprised, i was
@ how LOW it
was!!
need a carpet guy???

people are funny...not superman!!
i have been talking/working
w/people all morning
on the phone
and it's funny i've heard it all
people wanting me to do their
jobs, (funny, the horoscope
was so right on today!!), people
saying or complaining to my
sellers that i didn't answer my
phone.....etc.
luckily, my sellers know me
well enough to know that
if i get a call, and am
on two other lines
@ the same time, that i
can't answer the third line
on my cell.....and plus,
that if someone left me
a message, that i always
return my calls
(unless you have made
me not want to speak
with you)
life goes on
just have to remember
that i'm not

try)

Dear Todd,
Here is your horoscope
for Monday, April 24:
Supremely dependable,
you can accomplish --
and often do --
the work of ten.
Just don't make this a
habit, or some people could
start taking advantage
of your reliability.
You have a life, too,
you know.
Remind them of that.

home builder confidence continues decline...
Higher interest rates and declining demand from investors continue to push the confidence of the nation's home builders to lower levels, according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI).
The seasonally adjusted HMI stands at 50 this month, down four points from March's revised reading of 54.
An HMI above 50 indicates that more builders view sales conditions as good versus poor.All three HMI components declined in April.
The component measuring current single-family sales declined five points to 54, while the components gauging future sales and buyer traffic decreased to 58 and 39, respectively.
Regionally, home builders in the West maintain the greatest confidence in market conditions, with an overall seasonally adjusted HMI of 70.

this made me sick...
NFHA STUDY REPORTS DISCRIMINATION IN REAL ESTATE
At least 3.7 million instances of housing discrimination occur each year but more than 99 percent go unreported, estimates the National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA) in its recent "2006 Fair Housing Trends Report."
Based on a multi-year study covering more than 70 real estate offices located in the Northeast, Midwest and South, NFHA has determined three patterns of discrimination in the housing market: denial of services to African-Americans and Latinos; offering financial incentives to whites but not to African-Americans or Latinos; and steering potential home buyers on the basis of race.
Metropolitan areas in the West, including those in California, were not included in the study.According to the report, steering is "the norm" in real estate, with the test areas showing a steering rate of 87 percent.
Despite the federal Fair Housing Act, which prohibits housing discrimination, real estate agents in the test areas often discourage white home buyers from viewing homes located in interracial communities, while African-Americans and Latinos are limited to seeing homes in areas where their race or national origin dominates.
Over the past year, NFHA filed nine complaints against real estate companies in Atlanta; Chicago; Detroit; Mobile, Ala.; and Westchester County, N.Y., based on results from tests designed to test housing discrimination.

what does love mean?
A group of professionals posed
this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds,

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." Terri - age 4
"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." Danny - age 7
"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that They look gross when they kiss" Emily - age 8
"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.Bobby - age 7

"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken." Elaine-age 5
