Hi There!
Hope you're having a great start to Superbowl weekend!
I was able to do lunch with my friend, Rhonda today. We went to Z Pizza....have you heard of it? We shared a Pear/Gorgonzola Salad and then each had a calzone...it was yummy! More importantly it was fun talking (with a bit of gossip) and hearing about what she's been up to, etc.
Rhonda is a very personable woman and is the type of person that is doing her best all the time...I like that in a person.
After lunch, showed my listing on Sunnybrook and I think I may have found a buyer, but I could be wrong...I should know in the next two weeks....it was the first home she's seen and I know that people don't usually think they should purchase the first home that they see...
After that, I was able to clear out my bmw and bring it down to sell it to a local car dealer....I was happy to unload it and now my garage looks a bit empty. But you know, I still have my mini-cooper and that will get me by for a while.....until I find another car....no rush! We'll see how it goes.
Tomorrow I will be in the OC and get to spend some time w/my sister and a few other family members....I'm going to my cousin's wedding....
Tonight, I received some bad news, I think.....and I'm really fine with it, it's just that I can't believe it in a way.
It's interesting in life, how we can have a feeling about something and then (without believing or wanting to believe that it's true), it somehow becomes reality. Can you relate? I hope you can on some level.
I had a very productive day with my Caravan meeting this morning ....we were fortunate to have a motivational speaker (which can't ever be bad!) and she was a little dynamo! I will have to put her pic on here soon...I'm planning to do a press release and hopefully include our pic in it....she must be about 5' tall....and I never realized (I've seen her speak before, about a year ago) that she was only 5' tall.....can you relate?
I suppose, and I talked with Rhonda about this at lunch, (Rhonda is 5'2", but I'd say, if you'd asked me, that she's about 5'5" or 5'6")....that you can have a bigger personality than you are, and so to the outside world you may appear to be taller than you really are.
Showed homes after my meeting this morning and before lunchee....and that went well....there were two possibilities and who knows where the chips will fall....although I was happy to have the opportunity to be "out there" and working for a buyer who will buy.
Also, had an interesting visit and time with a recent new client and it was really nice to be talking like human beings, not like Realtor/Client.....this client is a wonderful person and ultimately gave me more insight into life in general, which I always appreciate.
I feel like I may be babbling....
The highlight of my night, was after I sold my car, I was able to have one of "The Best" conversations with my Dad.....it was REALLY OUTTA SIGHT! He was telling me about things....and also, acknowledged to me that sometimes I'm the Dad of the family, which was a huge acknowledgement to me......and I really enjoyed having a glass of wine with my "Papa"....bless his heart. He's the kind of guy who would do almost anything for anyone...you know, the kinda guy, who you wonder JUST WHERE he came from?
I could tell that it was a great time for him in our "goodbye" and that was really a gift for me....and one of the highlights of my day. I will never forget today!
Well, I'd best be getting along...I'm going to close with "Good Night" & hope that this weekend is "Extra Special" for anyone reading this......in surprising kind of ways!
Todd
P.S. I enjoyed a few telephone conversations...tonight too...one with a longtime client and friend and the other with a longtime buddy of mine.....Thank You T & S!!
