scared...get me a drink!


I just spoke with my sister and this afternoon, just a few hours ago, she had an unexpected visitor who was a trespasser and they arrested him (for 72 hours at least!) and omg!!


She's on her way out with her longtime friend and I'm cooking dinner for the three of us....omg, I'm so nervous about this trespasser....Papa thinks it was just a coincidence and I'm hoping he's right...Papa is usually right when it comes to these things....hope he's right this time....!


....please, God, don't let this be the beginning of the end...I want to have my family around for years to come.


Spending quality time with them this afternoon, when it comes down to it, your family can be all you have and need to be with.....so here goes. I'm off to cook some dinner for us.....and we'll take it from there....Thank You for your thoughts and prayers, everyone.

Here are my two new best friends....Thanx for the fun today, C!!

Graybull's Hot Toddy at Bullyup (the white face)

and Graybull's Tipsy Turtle. (the more brown face and the girl)

THEY ARE BUNDLES OF JOY AND SPENT A GOOD HOUR WITH THEM TODAY.....AND SO DID PAPA....THANX FOR THE FUN YOU GUYS!

movie and Inland Empire Real Estate article

Saw a great movie tonight and the message at the end was "Look forward (in your life) with hope."...so, of course, loved it. The fact that that actors were fun to watch was also exciting...should I tell you what it was? Duh! "P R E M O N I T I O N"....And, no, I'm not going to tell you if it really happened (her husband dying) or not. You'll have to watch it like I did....it's actually better than the last movie I saw, so really, if you're feelin' it, there is nothing I can tell you to sway you NOT to see it.

Here's an article that I found online today:

Housing Bubble and Real Estate Market Tracker

Today, also, got lots of fliers done for multiple listings that I'm currently selling...already have 7th St done, so small miracle there.

Also, showed Sunnybrook to a potential buyer and looks like we may have something...I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Tomorrow have an 8am, then 9am, then going to try to run a few errands and then hopefully get some much needed rest....as I'm working again the next five-7 days straight....ok, ciao ciao and nightee night.

My new listing on 7th St. in Upland!!

just love stuff like this....!

Around the corner I have a friend,In this great city that has no end,Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,And before I know it, a year is gone.And I never see my old friends face,For life is a swift and terrible race,He knows I like him just as well,As in the days when I rang his bell.And he rang mine but we were younger then,And now we are busy, tired men.Tired of playing a foolish game,Tired of trying to make a name."Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on JimJust to show that I'm thinking of him."But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,And distance between us grows and grows.Around the corner, yet miles away,"Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today."And that's what we get and deserve in the end.Around the corner, a vanished friend.Remember to always say what you mean.If you love someone, tell them.Don't be afraid to express yourself.Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.Because when you decide that it is the right time it might be too late.Seize the day. Never have regrets.And most importantly, stay close to your friendsand family, for they have helped make you the person that you are today.SMILE, even through yourtears!!!!!

YEAH CANCER!!

March 18: Pisces solar eclipse
When eclipses occur, dramatic events are abundant. This solar eclipse in Pisces signals the importance of your spiritual life, making this a great time to take a retreat or simply set aside time to be more contemplative. A solar eclipse means a new Moon as well, and that always marks a new cycle. Keep in mind that Pisces rules secrets -- and when highlighted, can also reveal them. Pluto is in a tight square to this eclipse, as it's about to turn retrograde later this month. When Pluto is prominent, something has to be let go; this could be a person, a job or a deeply held belief.

ROYAL SMILE


Did Philip ____??
What do you think?
thank you for that today, J!!

cheating on your spouse? How Disgusting!!

I think it's ok now to put this back out there.....I'm not talking about someone specific here, so no stressa!!

I think that it's very important in life to be 100% (or more!) honest. Especially with your partner, boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife, even with lovers. (lovers means that you're just having intimacy with them without any emotional tie)

Why do people cheat? If your needs aren't being met, why stay with the person??

Is this something that you discuss before it happens? (Don't you think that'd be a good idea?)

Why'd you marry them (if you're married) if you couldn't be faithful?

How do you think you're going to feel about yourself now that you've done it and have to live with it...and your partner/spouse/lover does too?

Do you think it's nice to do something for yourself that you know is going to damage another? (their self esteem, confidence, self respect ~~not to mention your own ~~ is probably out of wack if you're engaging in this behavior).

Is this something that your partner will forget over time?

Are you worth your partner forgetting it over time?

Don't you think you'd (or you would have) respected yourself more if you'd have spoken with them and tried to work out the problemo that you're having with them BEFORE YOU CHEATED on them???

I'm very disgusted by this.

I think you should do a years worth of charity work 10-20 hours/week (that you probably don't have!) to make up for this....and I'm just speaking about repairing your bad karma alone!

You know I once told my boss that if they ever cheated on their partner/spouse, that I wouldn't work there anymore and would leave. I can't believe I'm telling you this! (I won't tell you which boss it was....this part is confidential ;)

Picconi Warns Keller Williams Agent..."Be Fair to Your Client."

Had an agent call me this afternoon after my Open House on Overland and was so resistant to answering my question, "What are your client's name?" that I almost hung up the phone or completely decided inside my head that we shouldn't work with her, or her clients. Which is sad honestly, because her clients were nothing but nice, nice, nice when they stopped by my open house.

What are you agents out there thinking????

Do you think you want to lose a house that your client really wants because you're being difficult? Do you think that's fair to your client?
