mckenzie: They might be virtual but sometimes they make the best neighbors. - 11/02/11 04:08 PM
 
 
 
 

I happen to have an amazing lab mix, full of personality and apparently, bored as of late.  I had a weekend full of activities and a few late nights (interrupted by bathroom and feed breaks for her) and Liberty Belle, the wonder pooch, got creative.
I walked in late Saturday evening to find shredded garbage from one end of the living room to the other and a black dog that knew nothing on the subject, naturally.  I clean it up, we head to bed.
First thing in the am, she’s swinging from chandeliers like she’s been … (0 comments)

Visit this link for the cutest home tour ever, the house from UP built to real life scale.  Something upbeat to think about after a terrible weekend, helicopter crashes and loss, riots and fires in London and stock woes.  I’m enjoying spotty internet and a tough work day (nothing in comparison, I know) so I needed the smile.  Hope you survive your Monday also.
I get by with a little help from my friends, thanks folks for reposting this for me.

mckenzie: Crack down on fake PCS orders and other news. . . - 06/01/11 10:08 AM
 
 

I’m sure I don’t need to tell you there have been lots of changes in the real estate industry in the last few years.  Rumor patrol is part of my job.  We had an amazing series of meetings with base officials, state organizations, and peers.  The result?  A few updates.
-Rumors have swirled for years that E5 and below are required to stay on base.  Not the case.  No USMC order exists nor is one planned.
-North Carolina has had some changes in the way fees can be assessed and collected for property management and tenants.  If you … (7 comments)

mckenzie: "Facts underlying the hypothetical contract." - 06/01/11 08:46 AM
 

How’d you spend your Saturday morning?  I was up at day break and thought about getting a run in but decided getting some ironing done would be more productive. . .then bustled off to my annual state mandated Real Estate Update Course.
Favorite quote of the day “Facts underlying the hypothetical contract.” . . .it’s sort of a snoozefest, basically, because so much of the information rolls out months prior.  Things like contract, addendum changes, disclosure updates and the like.  In the last year, we managed to keep (with the NC Bar Association) to keep our contract to nine … (2 comments)

My desk today. . .sort of speaks for itself.
 
There's a possibility it's the caffeine talking but ever experience a good gut-burn that makes you feel like you're on the right path to something fun and great and mutually beneficial?  I'm there, enjoying the burn and the late night epiphanies and brain storming sessions.  You know you're passionate about what you're doing when half asleep at three thirty in the morning you're scrawling into a moleskine journal next to the bed to try to get something down before you fall back asleep, actually, no that's just the … (0 comments)

mckenzie: One Million Acts of Kindness. . .in a neighborhood near you soon! - 03/08/11 04:12 PM
After a trail workout in the rain, my pal April and I (and her jog stroller with the nice and dry baby Leah inside) stumbled out of the woods in time to see the Kindness bus trying to get out of the Parkwood Elem parking lot and get cut off, twice.  I'm interested to see what karma those folks enjoyed the rest of the day.  Had a chance to meet Bob, his dog Bogart who was dashing and check out the bus and all its amazing quotes.  Please pass along this link if you have stumbled across this entry.

Last night's Second Annual Montessori Children's School fundraiser seemed to be a big hit!  I'm not sure what the final numbers are (one of the few drawbacks of attending rather than planning these sorts of events) but there was a great crowd, yummy food and LOTS of bidding on the silent auction items as well as live auction items.  Thanks for a great night to those who had a hand in planning and putting on the event and thanks to everyone I met who … (0 comments)
