What to Do in Texas: Summer Fun for the Family - 04/26/08 07:58 PM
It wasn't until I became a real estate agent that the value of time off became important to me. Don't get me wrong, I love what I do but when you start a real estate career while in the midst of a professional accounting career you've just signed up for some never-ending days. This year I plan to take at least two REAL vacations and maybe a couple of weekend getaways.

What are Your ActiveRain Assoicates Saying About You? - 04/16/08 11:28 AM
I was recently called a "turtle brain" and for good reason. Not by anyone on ActiveRain but by a very dear friend. I am sometimes so consumed with what I am doing that the wheels in my brain turn at a turtle's pace. (This looks like the opening to a whole new post).
I said that to say that I am probably the last one look at this but it is interesting still. Have you ever looked at your AR Associations? You know, the section that tells you who has added you as an associate. I've been there before but I never … (3 comments)

Soap Operas Were NOT Meant to be Single Episodes... - 04/14/08 03:02 PM
...and neither should your blog or website.
Many, many years ago a male friend made a comment to me that made me stop watching daytime soap operas. At the time he was a pharmacy student and I was a very young (recently separated) single mom of two. He said that watching so operas was total waste of time and that people (like me) could be doing something a lot more productive with their time. Although I could have, I didn't take it as an insult.

Dear Boss...I QUIT! - 04/01/08 09:20 AM
"Dear Boss,
I have been struggling with this decision for some time now. This month's close confirms that I am making the best decision for my family. I have decided that it is in my best interest and that of the company for me to resign effective March 31, 2008 or when you are able to find a replacement, whichever is sooner...
I have stretched myself way too thin by accepting a full-time position. I have the heart of an entrepreneur and would never be able to commit 100% to the role of an employee. I am willing to do what I can … (26 comments)
