burlington nc: HOLIDAY LAUGHTER ::: A little levity to enjoy between cooking and traveling! - 11/25/09 09:31 AM
 
Random Thoughts for the Day:
 
 1.    I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
 
 2.   Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
 
 3.   I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
 
 4.   There is great need for a sarcasm font.
 
 5.   How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

burlington nc: Rainy Days and Mondays ... - 08/31/09 03:34 AM
Most of us will remember Karen Carpenter singing about Rainy Days and Mondays, and with today's weather ... that song has been playing over and over in my head.It's a gray, cool and rainy day here in the Piedmont.  The windows are open, the light breeze curling the sheers ... the smell of fresh rain filling the house.  Mix it all with the sounds of the birds and the crickets ... it's the closest you can get to heaven on earth.
And like Paul Harvey says ... Here's the rest of the story ...
 
Have a fabulously productive week!

burlington nc: Cause for a Pause? or Pause for a Cause? ... You decide - 08/04/09 02:05 AM
There is a constant urging in this modern world to become all things to all people. And we strive to place ourselves above all the rest. After all … that’s what it’s about, isn’t it? Isn’t that what will measure our success?
We are led to believe that with all the modern day conveniences such as iPhones, computers, PDAs, Kindles and the like, that we have to make ourselves available to the world at a moment’s notice. The world will certainly fall apart if we don’t jump the minute we are called!
Much of our business time is spent talking with … (0 comments)

burlington nc: ... And Mother Nature Danced ... - 08/03/09 01:39 PM
Mother Nature was all dressed up and had no place to go.  So she decided to dance to her own tune.  As she swirled in her gown of white against a blue stage she began to hear the music from afar.

 
As the tempo increased, Mother Nature danced even faster.  So fast that her dancing shoes generated sparks. 
All so that we, the mere mortals on earth, could marvel at her talent and rhythm.

burlington nc: POSITIVE ABILITY ::: DO YOU ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE? - 08/02/09 03:55 AM
Positive Ability - It's not just a mindset, it's a way of life.
As I was shuttling laundry to the utility room and fussing at the dogs about shedding I caught my mind wandering off without me.  (That happens a lot ... and those that know me know that it's just who I am)  Anyway ... I found myself humming a tune that I had not thought about for probably 40 years or more. 
As I was humming to myself I started thinking ... the lyrics were really quite inspiring.  And for a song that was popular in the early - … (5 comments)

burlington nc: Comparing Life to .... well, LIFE! - 08/01/09 01:12 AM
In the course of any given day I receive at least 100 or more emails.  Some are from friends, some from business associates, some are mailing lists, etc.  Quite an olio of topics.  And every now and again there will something in one of those emails that makes me sit back and experience a true "Aha!" moment.

That happened bright and early this morning ... before my first sip of my first cup of coffee.  (I know, who even reads before the coffee goes in?)  You see, I awoke to a gray and rainy day.  Most people would see that … (6 comments)

burlington nc: BURLINGTON, NC/ALAMANCE COUNTY ::: Introducing a convert!! - 07/30/09 12:19 AM
BREAKING NEWS!  BURLINGTON NC/ALAMANCE COUNTY
When I first came to the Burlington/Alamance County North Carolina area I met a gentleman at the local Keller Williams office.  He was kind of shy and seemed a bit reserved.  I immediately realized that he was new to the office ... there was just something about that 'wait and see' smile when he shook hands with the other agents.
In the whirl of names, handshakes, personalities and 'you ought to's' he stood out as someone that has what it takes to be a success in real estate.  And through some casually flip conversations I made … (7 comments)

If anyone knows what this thing is, please let me know.  It seems as though we have a very wide assortment of critters out here in the country, and I'm not familiar with many of them.  This guy actually made a buzzing/clicking sound when I tried to get close to him.  I don't know if it was in approval or disdain!  LOL
