Sure the real estate market is a bit tough but a quality real estate agent can make or break your move. When you are moving out of state, you have to seek out a good Realtor and fayetteville real estate is one of the best if you are planning a move to Arkansas. They will go above and beyond to find just the right house for you and your family. Unlike a lot of others, they wont’ try and push you into something that you’re not really interested in. They push to find what you’re looking for. With all of the problems with the housing market, that’s very important if you ask me. I don’t like being pushed into anything I don’t really want and you shouldn’t either. They’re there to help you, not just help themselves.
Here’s something I bet you would have never guessed!
My father taught me to shoot a gun when I was a little girl and I still enjoy target practice to this day. A lady has to be able to take care of herself when she’s alone, you know what I mean? I have always trusted and bought DeSantis Holsters for my handguns plain and simply because I love the quality and they’re the ones that my father preferred too. There are several different styles you can get from a shoulder holster to a belt holster. The leather is not cheap leather either so you can count on them to last a long time. And yes I do have a permit to carry one.
The sun is shining but I’m in a blah kind of mood
Don’t you hate when that happens. There’s absolutely no legitimate reason to feel blah and yet you do. If it was cloudy and raining, I could understand it but it’s a beautiful day and I still feel blah. Maybe it’s hormones, maybe it’s life, maybe it’s nothing but I don’t like it anyway!!!
Well life seems to hit you sometimes when you least expect it and I guess that’s what’s going on. Life, ya know. The economy is awful. So many people are losing their homes and their jobs and the stock market finally is starting to show a little promise again but when is it going to drop again? Such is life these days.
Visited a friend in Houston last weekend
When Katrina hit, a lot of friends moved away and I really can’t say as I blame them either. I went to visit a friend that settled in Houston. She had a beautiful home built by Schumacher Homes for her there. It seems like all of my friends are contacting Schumacher homes for their custom homes they’re wanting to have built. I have been in three of them and man are they not only beautiful, but they’re well built too. Not like a lot of other contractors that you have to keep calling to fix what they messed up throughout the building process. These are wonderful homes inside and out.
Finishing up the last apartment
Well by next weekend, the last apartment will be finished and they can start moving in there too. I have thoroughly enjoyed remodeling the upstairs into apartments for my people that work for me. It really has been quite satisfying to know that they really appreciate what I have done. There are all new appliances in every apartment and stainless steel sinks in every kitchen. The cabinets are beautiful. The tile on the kitchen and bathroom floors look better than I imagined they would too. The laminate flooring and even the large area rugs I purchased for the living rooms just made the whole room.
Some people think I’m crazy but I painted every room the colors the people that were moving in picked out and then bought curtains to go with the paint or their furniture, if they had furniture. I think my contractor and they guys that helped did a wonderful job too. They put extra insulation between the apartments so the ones with kids wouldn’t bother their neighbor. Now how thoughtful was that? I think I’m going to do the same thing with the top floor too. But they need to be one bedroom apartments so no kids are bouncing off the ceiling of the lower apartments though.
Well they’ll be moving in this weekend
Well the apartments are all but finished and they’ll be moving in this weekend. There’s still a bit to do on the three bedroom apartment but the others are finished. Everyone is so excited about making the move. I am too because I know that everyone will now have a good place to live and their kids will be looked after too.
I look at most of my employees as my family like I have told you before so it’s only natural that I would want them to have a good place to live then. Now they have just that. I know they appreciate it too because the smiles on thier faces show just how much it is appreciated. Besides, if it doesn’t work out for one of them, I do have it to rent to others but I’m sure they’ll all be happy right here. I hope so anyway.
I really need new glasses
It’s such a pain when you can’t see very well. I hate going to the eye doctors and as soon as they find out what your prescription is, they start pushing their glasses off on you. Bugs me to no end. I’m not spending a hundred dollars on glasses when I know where to get them online thanks to that article I saw in the New York Times about how inexpensive Zenni Optical eyeglasses are and yet you get not only quality as good as what your eye doctor charges hundreds for but you can also get designer looking frames too. They are great. Just about any option the eye doctor gives you, they do too.
The reason they can offer glasses as cheap as they do is because they sell directly to the public and there’s no middle man to run the cost up. In fact you can get just about just about any option in your glasses from them that you can get from your eye doctor. I have to admit I was totally amazed at the quality and the prices. In fact, I think I just might have to get more than one pair. Here’s the ones I have ordered.
I love to read
I have found some great books from Short Stack Publishing which is out of London. They have one of the best written books on How to Handle Living with Your Dog that I have read so far. I told you I had gotten a puppy, right? Well this is a great book for people interested in living with your dog.
In fact, you should check out their home of the How to Handle Series. They have some great topics. They’re just a small publishing company but if they keep publishing great books like these, they won’t be small for long I bet.
About that apartment building
I told you about someone offering me an apartment building at a great price, remember? Well I had someone go out and inspect everything and he said the land was worth more than the property. The best I could do was to have it torn down and build anything else there.
Well I guess you know what that means then don’t you? I told them that I sure appreciated them offering the building to me but right now, I’m in over my head with the apartments I’m having build over my establishment. I didn’t want to sound rude and tell them they were trying to unload an overload of problems on me but that’s what it was.
So if you haven’t learned anything else from me, learn that you never look a gift horse in the mouth. Have it checked thoroughly before you jump on anything.
XML Contest
Well one of the boys that works for me was asking if he could use the computer here at work for some sort of contest he heard about in school. It’s a programming contest. It’s open to anyone from professionals to students and he wants to get in on it. All he has to do is take a little quick quiz online and you don’t even have to have any experience in XML or database to complete the quiz.
There are five different contests that you can be awarded prizes for and recognition for too. One is a video contest, a gadget contest, a query contest, a ported app contest 1 and an XML 2 contest. Well if anyone can win something it will be this boy.
