SOLD! Cha-ching!

All the maddness and running around from yesterday paid off. Praise the LORD! I just sold another house. I just got a call from the sellers agent and they have accepted our offer. HURRAY! If I do a few more I can get out of this horid job as a legal assistant. YIPEEE! Well thought I would let you in on the good news. *doing touch down dance* BU-YA!

All In a Day's Work......

I had a fabulously interesting yet exhausting day yesterday that ended with a scary note. Yesterday I took the day off from my “real job” and for the first time I was able to take an entire day…..well almost an entire day and work my real estate gig.

I got up bright and early in the morning…..ok….7:37 a.m., not that impressive but still early. So got up and dressed and out the door by 8 a.m. (I amaze myself sometimes) I had orientation at my local real estate association to I could become a REALTOR © (I will explain what is so special another time). I sat through this not so interesting class of ethics until 12:00 p.m. We learned about all the things we could, should and cannot do. At the end of the class the instructor had the class divide up into 2 teams and play a game of what was a sort of Jeopardy. A team would pick a answer for $50, $100 or $200 and then the first to call out the question would get the “points”. Well I honestly though that I wasn’t going to have a clue and then suddenly there I was giving questions…..4 in a row in fact! The guy behind me called me…..Ken Jennings, LOL. Then I got nervous realizing that all this attention was on my and I screwed up on the next answer because I didn’t put the response in the form of a question. DUH! No matter my team got the Final Jeopardy question right and we won. HA!

After my orientation, I ran home got all my real estate stuff and ran over to the real estate office. I hopped on my computer to see if any new listings had popped up for a buyer that I have in line that is anxious to buy, but there was nothing. I had faxed him 6 properties the night before and out of the 6 he was interested in 2 but one was already gone. So I called him to see if he was available to see the one he was interested in. He said yes, so I ran a CMA, pulled the tax info and was out the door. I was running late so I think I may of cut off about 4-5 people on my way….sorry. J I get to the house and my buyer is there waiting. He does repairs and construction so he had just gotten off the roof checking out its condition, he mentioned some one had laid shingles on top of the old roof, first not so good sign. Second not so good sign, I get the key out of the lock box and we notice that the door knob isn’t set in right. In fact it looks like it is sideway, it takes us about 5 minutes to get the door open. So we walk in and ICK! Nasty and the place was being sold as it. The carpet was gross, and there were a few roach carcasses laying around, the utilities were cut off (hint if you are selling a house leave the utilities on) there were multiple things which I am not going to bore you with. So we are making our way out and I am looking at the CMA an there is a house on it which I hadn’t noticed and it is active. So I get on the phone call my broker to call the selling agent and see if it is still available, and it is. We pull out the map book and find it and drive over. This house was much better and much cuter and the utilities were on, which makes such a difference when you are showing a house, but my buy wasn’t to keen on the area, so it was a no go. We chat for awhile discuss options and I am on my way back to the office (ffthis time with no need to cut anyone off). When I get back to the office I hope on the computer and low and behold there are 3 new properties on the system, after deducting 2 of the out, I was on my way again to the same area I had just come from to show this new property to my buyer. This is much better and my buyer is interested. Cool thing is as I was showing the house to him, a young married couple shows up at the door with no agent representation and a approval letter. GOLD! So I show them around get their info and set up to meet them and sign them up next week. I get back to my buyer and we agree to meet back at the office at 6:30. Unfortunately he runs late, doesn’t get there till about 7:30 or 8:00. We write up the offer and I faxed it out a 9:00 p.m. SIGH! All in a days work!

So now we just wait and see. The agent is presenting tonight, so hopefully by tomorrow we will know if they accept our offer. Say a little prayer!

After I finished up at the office I headed home. I have two options to get home, I can either take the highway or I can go the back way which takes you through a not so nice part of town. Well for some reason I choose the back way. As I am driving along the bright zoup up yellow car zooms by me and cuts me off. Then a few minutes later I come up on several cars stopped and when I look there is the yellow car and a man laying in the street. The yellow car had hit the man. I got on my cell right away and called 911. The man was moving so I pray he made it ok. The ambulance and police got there right way, literaly 2 minutes or after I called 911. As soon as I heard the ambulance, I said a little prayer and got out of there. It wasn't the best part of town and there were alot of people starting to gather around, so I though it best to leave.

Well, tonight looks like it may be another late night. I have another potential buyer, with an approval letter coming in tonight at about 7. Hopefully I will eventually be able to make it back to the gym.

Pesky Spammers!

Well I am sorry to say but I have had to turn on the type verification option for the comments because of these pesky spammers that keep leaving comments for there, diabetes, medical supply, depression and mortgage rate blogs! I was getting 3 to 5 comment spammers a day! It was getting annoying.

Ribbing Accomplished!

HURRAY! Ribbing Accomplished! Ok so maybe it isnt that big of a deal to you but after much frustration it is nice to finally get something. A shout out and thanks to Lovely Lisa for giving me some 411 on knitting. J lol So now I am on my way to attempting to finish a scarf. Not a huge project but good enough for a beginner. Soon I will be making that fab hat down below! J

UGH Knitting Help!

Ok is there anyone out there that can help me? I am attempting a new hobby of knitting and I got the knit and purl stich down and the stockett stitch, but I can not get the ribbing. Everytime I attempt it I just get a knoted mess! It is seriously irritating me! I mean the directions make it sounds like it is a simple pattern of knit and purl, but then it says something about the working yarn to bring it to the front or back and I am not getting it because all I end up with is a HUGE knot. Any advice?

New Hobby - Knit and Purl

Hello! Hope we all had a good weekend. I especially hope it was better than mine. Well I have decided to attempt to pick up a new hobby, knitting. Those of you reading this that know me personally probably don’t think that Meseidy and knitting go together or even sound right in the same sentence, but yes I am going to attempt to knit. I bought a small starter kit over the weekend and have finally figured out how to knit and purl. Now I need to learn how to read these crazy pattern instructions and what are increase and decrease. Tonight am going to swing by the store and pick up another book, some more yarn and another set of needles. I can already think of several projects that I would like to attempt and since it is a hobby that is easy to do while watching tv…. it won’t interrupt my very important Law & Order time. One of the projects I would really like to try is the hat below for the winter (click on the pic to download pattern).

So far I have found it very relaxing, but I am having trouble keeping track of the pattern and what rows I am on but I will figure it out with time. Samson my cat seems to be enjoying the new hobby. He keeps playing with and trying to eat the yard while I knit. Last night I had to take a time out and untie him from the yarn because he got himself all knotted up. LOL We will see how well I do and whether or not I get frustrated with the new hobby.

One of the Lord's Blessings - Gummy Bears!

I am so grateful for many of the small pleasures that the Lord has bless us with and one of the ones I am most grateful for are Gummy Bears! YUM I LOVE GUMMY BEARS! They are so sweet and chewy and cute to boot. I can eat an entire bag of gummy bears till my jaw hurts from chewing. They are also so much fun to eat. Sometimes I will pretend that they are begging me not to eat them while I gnaw their head and limbs off one by one. I know that may sound a little disturbing but it is a gummy bear. Also have you ever noticed that you can do a before and after weight loss gummy bear? Allow me to explain. If you take your gummy bear and up it between your fingers from head to bottom and squeeze he gets fatter (this is the before) then if you hold him between your fingers on each side and squeeze he gets skinny (this is the after). I just love my gummy bears. J lol

Ok Quick But Odd Question

   Now most of us all know that the ears, nose, throat and sinuses are all connected, right?  So by saying that maybe the question I am about to ask isn’t so odd. Have you ever blown your nose, usually after crying, and little air bubbles come out of your tear duct?  I am just wondering?

New Blog Posted - Wind Scraps

I found a new blog called Wind Scraps: Listen to the Whisper of His Voice. Her name is Shannon and she is a pastor's wife, mother and author. It is a great blog and I think she is an awsome writter. Definatly a keeper and I am adding her onto my list of blog links. I was especially taken by her post about "Late Night Meetings" how she kept being woken in the middle of the night, until she finally realized that it was God trying to get her attention and spend time with her. I encourage you to take a look.

My Tendancy to Be a Recluse

Ok I am guilty! If I am having a rough time I have a tendency to be a little reclusive and I don’t discriminate. I had a bit of a tough weekend. I did nothing on Saturday but sleep in and laid on the coach….nice huh? And I could have done the same on Sunday, except I actually got up and went to church, even though I was totally distracted throughout the entire service. I know the topic was to pray for the nations but I unfortunately didn’t get much out of it, my mind was elsewhere. I did go out to lunch with the friends that I have made at church and then I went home. I plopped on the couch again with the intention of not getting up. 1. Because I felt like I poured myself into the sofa so there was no way I was going to get out of it, it is my safe place. 2. There was a Law & Order marathon on, and at the time I found the show and the pint of Haagen-Dazs I was eating very comforting. But one of my close girlfriends called me and invited me over for dinner and although my initial intention was to say no, I found myself saying yes. To my amazement I managed to turn off the tv get my tail off the sofa and over to her house. She is a great friend! We talked and prayed, she was a great support, I thank God for such a good friend.

Unfortunately over my bubble weekend I forgot that my mother was going into surgery this morning. I didn’t find out till I finally check my messages this morning from over the weekend. She had gastric bypass about a year ago and was now eligible for the plastic surgery. While I was all wrapped up in myself I forgot about my mother’s surgery. I called her today and thank God she is doing well.

On a lighter and more amusing note. I got the hiccups really bad this afternoon after lunch. I was holding my breath and drinking water but nothing was working. Then I get an email for one of my co-workers who is the secretary to the son of the owner of the firm and she works with him sometimes. So I get this email from her telling me that he “The Boss Man” wants to see me. My heart sunk and I about freaked, then from the corner of my eye I see her looking at me with a big grin. I was a joke! She was pulling my chain and my hiccups where gone. Unbelievable!

Ready Set Go!

Ok not to brag or anything but may I say I am the bomb....no the queen.....nay.....the master of getting ready quickly! LOL I have to be at work at 8:30 a.m. and what time did I get up out of bed? 7:47! I actually got up this morning, showered, did my hair, dug through the pile of clean laundry I have right now because I haven't had time to put it away (which is driving me insane), ironed my clothes (one of them being linen pants), got dressed and was out the door by 8:15, with orange juice and Luna bar in hand. Thank goodness my office is only 15 mins away. Not that knowing any of this information will be particularly enlightening or life changing to any of you, but I guess I am still wired from marathon I ran this morning. Up, showered and dressed in 60 second or less! LOL I got alot of energy today, must be the new vitamins I am taking...:)

Last Night's Interview

So I went to this interview last night for the "personal sales assistant".  It is as a n assistant to a General Manager of a car dealership.  When he told me the dealership over the phone I thought it was another place, like a Carmax or something.  When I get there is a small mom & pop used car dealership, but I decide not to judge a book by its cover and still go in.  I meet with the manager and it was sounding pretty good at first and he practically offered me the position. But then he started going more in depth and he mentions the commercials he does and that he has the "Miracle Girls" in the commercial and in his ads and he points to an add on his desk.  Then it hits me and I remember his commercials where he has girls in the background like props, you can imagine the type.  Then he tells me about the 3 other candidates and he even has the guts to say to me about one of the girls "she is pretty....not as pretty as you" basically saying in so many words he was looking for a pretty girl to be his assistant because it can attract more business.  So he asks me if I was interested and I said I would have to think about it.  As I thought about it more and more I thought.um...no! lol Not really a position I would want to be in!  Ugh, typical car salesman....LOL   After that I went home and then to the gym. :)

How Weird are You?

Looks like I am out of luck. :)

You Are 40% Weird

Normal enough to know that you're weird...
But too weird to do anything about it!

We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed and broken. We are perplexed, but we don't give up and quit.

Shhhhhh Don't Tell Anyone!

Ok, so I have been MIA for a bit. I had a pretty good relaxing weekend, hung out with friends and did a lot of driving. J Didn’t make it to church on Sunday because I was beat and just couldn’t get out of bed…..oops L So no Sunday Service notes this week.

This afternoon….or evening I have an interview….shhh don’t tell anyone…LOL. As I have stated on many occasions I am not particularly happy here where I work. So yesterday out of curiosity I looked on the internet to see what kind of jobs were out there. I would like to get out of the legal field and try something different. I came across this add for a “personal sales assistant” and the pay that it listed looked very promising. I called to check it out and spoke with the man that is looking for the sales assistant. He explained to me what the position would be and I told him a little about my experience and we agreed to meet this evening at 7. Turns out he is the General Manager of a car dealership and he wants someone to help him follow up on sales leads, pull credit reports, contact clients, schedule appointments and so on. I know I could do all that no sweat. The only thing I need to check out is if this is base salary, base salary plus commission or just commission, but I can discuss that once I meet with him. We will just have to see what feeling I get out of it and pray about it, I don’t want to make any rash decisions. I will keep you posted.

The Marvels of Modern Technology

Now please correct me if I am wrong but aren’t computers and all of this advanced technology that we have at our fingertips suppose to make things easier and more efficient? Then why is it that I come into work everyday and I ALWAYS have a moment that I want to grab my monitor or keyboard or whatever and throw it out the window? I really think sometimes that I would prefer to work on a typewriter. Think about it. You don’t have to worry about troubleshooting print jobs because it is right there. You don’t have to worry about saving every 5 seconds, because a typewriter doesn’t crash. You don’t have to beat your mouse repeatedly against the mouse pad because a typewriter won’t freeze on you. Have you ever heard of a typewriter getting a virus? I haven’t. Granted dealing with carbon copy paper would be a pain and I am of the generation before typewriters so I may not know what I am talking about, but COME ON am I going to have to threaten my computer and hold it dangling out a window threatening to drop it if it doesn’t behave or if it crashed one more time!

Think about what it has also done to our culture. We are a society of ADHD! Everyone has this need to be connected and constantly entertained. Family cars come with entertainment systems in them. Why not encourage your kid to read or play a game? A man in South Korea just dropped dead from playing a computer game for 49 hours straight! Does this not seem a little much? People are walking around now with “Bluetooth” ear pieces for their cell phone…you know the futuristic looking thing with the blinking blue light attached to their ear, because no one wants to miss a call. Everyone is on a cell phone everywhere! I went to the restroom the other day at a restaurant and some woman was in the stall next to me ON THE PHONE! Is it me or is this a little obsessive? Don’t get me wrong I do know may of the benefits of technology, I use them every day, but it doesn’t mean that it can’t annoy me or that we as a society are any better off.

It is just amazing to me how technology has affected society so much. It keeps us constantly occupied and you can easily end up with no time to yourself or time to spend with God. It also has had a huge part in taking God’s place in our lives. Before all of this people we more dependant on God and his word, because we didn’t have that quick fix before to take his place, like the computer game, internet, cell phone, etc.

If you take a leap and dare to do something different, turn off your phone, tv, computer and spend some quiet time alone and see what are your thoughts and what is in your heart, pray about it write it down, you will be surprised by what comes out and how free you feel afterwards.

So Sad To See You Go - SUPERSTAR!


There was one super bummer over the weekend. A very good and close friend of mine has moved away….:( Me and several of my friend hung out with her one last time on Friday, before she shipped off the next day.

So to my dear friend here is one last “Super Star” for you! LUV YA! MEAN IT!

Ultimate Frisbee

I have managed to yet add another injury to my long list of injuries.  However I am happy to say that this one was not self inflicted like most of them are.  I hung out with the folks from the small group I visited several Tuesdays ago.  We all met up at the ocean front and played a game of ultimate frisbee.   It is basically like football but with a Frisbee, but you can’t run with the frisbee.  So and I running down the field…..or beach, towards the frisbee and I get taken out by one of the guys.  He manages to step on my toe….hard!  It turned my nail up and started to bleed…..GROSS!  So I gimped my way over to the shower, where everyone goes to wash off the sand and rinsed off my toe.  But I am a tough girl I was ok, slapped a band-aid on the toe and sat out the rest of the game.  I haven’t been able to wear closed toe shoes, but otherwise it is doing well.

Afterwards we all went out for dinner.  It was a good time.  I was in the middle of the long table so I got to participate in variety of conversations.  The whole group seems really nice and the welcomed me right in.  I never felt out of place and that says a lot. 

Sunday I went to church, which was great I really needed to go and afterwards my new friends invited me out for lunch.  It was all in all a good weekend.  I thank God for bringing me new friends. J

Prayer of Agreement - Sunday Service

Key Scripture Passages: Matthew 18:19-20

19"Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.


If you agree to things on earth, God will grant it.
  • You have to pray for things to happen
  • Hoping does not change things
  • When we all agree in prayer we can have what we ask
  • This why it is good to pray together and pray for one another.

Definition of Agree: Sumphoneo

  • sum "together" + phoneo "to sound"
  • to be in harmony, once accord

Deuteronomy 32:30 -30 How could one an chase a thousand, or two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the LORD had given them up

We all must agree in our prayers or they will not stand
  • Let us commit to God's heart for the unity of the spirit in the church for the sake of prayer

Ephesians 4:3 - 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

  • Be perfectly joined together

1 Corinthians 1:10 -10 I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought

Practical Steps
  1. Pray in and understandable language

    1 Corinthians 14:16 -16 If you are praising God with your spirit, how can one who finds himself among those who do not understand[a] say "Amen" to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?

  2. Listen with sensitivity to the words and heart of another's prayers

    James 1:19 - 19 My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,

  3. Do not judge people on their prayers

    Matthew 7:1 - 1"Do not judge, or you too will be judged.

  4. Agree with the promises of God's word together

    1 John 5:14-15 - 14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of him.

  5. Add your own version of "Me too, Lord", agree with a yes Lord or Amen.

Word to Couples

  • God joined you together as a uniquely powerfuinstrumentnt of prayer.

1 Peter 3:7 - 7Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.

  • A spirit of strife in your home is the Devil's main strategy to keep you from praying together

Word to Singles

  • Every Moses needs an Aaron and Hur...Every Mary needs a Elizabeth
  • Cultivate a prayer partner relationship with a like minded believer.

Word to Everyone

  • Let us create aatmospherere of agreement, sensitivity and understanding were we call all pray together for one another. When we all come together in agreement and commit your heart to God for unity of spirit in the church for the sake of prayer, God can will move and answer your prayers.

My Levels

My level of desire to work right now it very low…..actually practically non-existent. I would be perfectly happy today at my apartment, doing laundry and vegging out on the sofa with my cat. But no unfortunately I am in this office, at this workstation and guess what I am doing……any guesses? If you said typing, COME ON DOWN and collect your prize!

My level of desire to run away and hop on a plane to a secluded island paradise VERY HIGH! Ah to be sitting on a beautiful beach with the temperature and a comfortable 78 degrees, sipping a Pina Colada.

Do you think I would get in trouble if I put some sand on the floor of my workstation and brought in a sunlamp?

C.S. Lewis and the Tao of "The Island"



C.S. Lewis and the Tao of "The Island"

A very interesting article on how "The Island" gives us a glimpse into Romans 1.

"In writing to the church in Rome, the Apostle Paul noted that people who know God, yet suppress the knowledge of their Creator, are driven to worship creatures. Such people become debased in their thinking and are given over to all manner of sin. In time, people regress from a belief in God to a belief that they are God, and once that belief becomes entrenched in significant elite cultural power bases the results are devastating – they are willing to do anything. Michael Bay's new film, "The Island," represents his first real foray into thoughtful action films. He gives us a glimpse into that Romans 1 world."

Soooooooo Excited!!!

Very cool concert coming here! Who you may ask.well some of my favorite bands! Audio Adrenaline, SuperChick and Pillar all here at the same time at the same concert. ROCK ON! Me very excited! Concert is October 20, so the plan is that I am going to go ahead and buy 2 tickets and hope that I find someone to go with from not till then, being that I cant think of anyone off the top of my head that would be interested in going. Granted it is going to be crawling with youngsters, but I don’t care, it is going to ROCK! ( I have said rock 2 times already, I discretely rock out at my work station) Hurray, hurray, hurray! If you dont know who I am talking about check out the Tunes links below on the sidebar. This is so going to ROCK!!!!


Verse of the Week

I have decided to try and post a new verse every week in the sidebar. I am also probably going to start posting my notes from Sunday's church service every week. I will try to be as diligent with this as possible.

Regular Weekend

Hello! Well I had a good although regular weekend, actually it was so regular I can’t remember exactly what I did, but it consisted of dinner with friends and a movie. I went to see “The Island” over the weekend, which for some reason, which I can’t understand, is not doing well and has gotten really bad reviews from the critics, yet most Joe Shmoes really enjoyed it. I though it was a great movie, a must see in fact. Although there is one scene in particular that is pretty unbelievable but it is a movie after all, if the protagonist hadn’t survived the movie would have ended. Anyway it was a good movie and I think it had a great message of how you need to be careful when you try to play God.
