Right now I am sitting in Dylan's room.....as I am typing this blog he is playing with his toys...it is always a crap shoot when you buy toys...the things that you think they will love...they have no interest in ..the cheap ones you buy on a whim....they love........I am also listening to hard rock on the radio............hate it....but it also makes me kind of smile because Collin loves it...so it reminds me of him.....I also kind of laugh when I look at the boom box he has in Dylan's room...it is really big and kind of god awful to look at but Collin has probably owned it since 7Th grade ....another one of those things that I love to hate with a smile.....I will let Dylan protest the boom box once he gets old enough to realize just how uncool it really is..........
Old...I felt so old last night....my body just hurt by the end of the day...I had a fairly long day at work and then finished it off with the Boy's and Girl's Chili Cook Off...of course we won out of 18 teams....it was all based off of donations and we raised a 3rd of the total donations for the entire evening.....we rocked...we also by far had the funnest booth with giving away beads for a little shake of the shoulders by chili goers....Collin and Dylan had a good time tasting all the chili and running around....
I had about 3 or 4 days of a lull in business but we are back to full speed....I have my big contract that I need to get done on Monday....the buyer is one of our States Attorney's so I am going to have the owner and if need a lawyer review the contract............just in case....of course I feel pretty secure with the $90,000 down that I have negotiated upfront as earnest money.....I am fairly savvy at getting enough security and we have a fairly tight contract...but I am also smart enough to know that probably a second and maybe 3rd set of eyes reviewing the contract is a good idea.......showing properties tomorrow to a new client....have another new client that I will be helping later in the week and have a old client that I am meeting with on Tuesday for a new listing....and hoping to get a contract on our spec home this week....so we are so blessed to be so busy right now....and there is no indication that business will be slowing down any time soon.....with that being said I am eyeing the most wonderful and beautiful in a simple way.....a square braided rug for our living room....it is made on the East Coast and I have been eyeing for about a month now....depending on the size it is like $800-1000 so kind of a chunk of change.....and I really can't justify buying it now....there is a front yard and back yard that need to be landscaped and fenced....a master bathroom remodel that needs to happen sooner rather than later since the shower is leaking and needs to be torn out.....and of course saving, saving, and more saving for our future rentals, and security.....it sounds so daunting when I type it out.....but realistically we will have the front yard, side yard and back yard done for and paid for this summer....we will also get the master bathroom remodeled and paid for this summer....so if I am still pining for this wonderful rug this coming Winter...I should be able to purchase it with a good heart and no guilt.......if I continue to sell, sell, and sell some more.....
With that have a good night it is time for a hot bath for Dylan and I
