One LESS Waffer Thin Mint - 10/30/10 08:51 AM
You know the Monty Python skit where the very large man is eating buckets and buckets of food at the restaurant and, after all the gluttony, the waiter encourages him to have a mint? The man doesn't want to, because he's full. But the waiter keeps encouraging him because, after all, it is wafer thin (pronounced "waffer thin" in the skit). What harm could it do?
Well, the guy eats it and then ... EXPLODES! It's absolutely disgusting ... and hilarious in a strange kind of way.
I feel like that guy at the restaurant sometimes ... and I'm not talking about my gluttonous … (18 comments)

Thankful Thursday - October 28, 2010 - 10/28/10 09:29 AM
She remembers the name of my first boyfriend...and the fact that she kissed him first.
She remembers all of my misdeeds...with what appears to be a photographic memory.
She hears past "I'm fine"...and waits for me to spill the beans.
She makes fun of me...and helps me make fun of me too.
She pulls me back to reality and grounds me...lest I stay in the clouds for too long.
She will answer any question I ask...and asks me the questions I need to ask myself.
She makes me laugh...'til I cry or pee my pants.
She tells me if I'm being an idiot...but with love … (14 comments)

Pssst: Want to Hear a Quick Trick to Save Time on Social Media? - 10/25/10 10:08 AM
Want to learn a quick trick to save time on social media?
Anyone who has been following me for a while knows that I have a love/hate relationship with social media. I love the opportunity social media provides to stay in touch with friends, family and contacts and to get my work out there to home buyers and sellers in Montreal West Island. But I hate how social media sucks my time away without my even realizing it. I wrestle with this daily.
Well, 10 days ago, at a seminar on developing a social media strategy that was organized by MiB Networking Group and delivered by Nancy Overbury, … (20 comments)

Benefit Party at Bourbon Street for West Island Palliative Care Centre - Saturday, October 23, 2010 - 10/20/10 02:00 PM
Have you ever had reason to be at the West Island Palliative Care Centre? If not, consider yourself lucky. So many have, and yet what I hear from anyone who has lost a loved one who got to spend there final days there is, "That place, and the people who work there, are amazing."
This Saturday, October 23, there will be a party at Bourbon Street West with all proceeds benefitting the West Island Palliative Care Centre.
The party is in honor of Michael Charles (my friend Tanya's brother) and all others who fought hard and lost their battle to cancer. In … (3 comments)

Amused to Death? - 10/18/10 09:55 AM
I'm feeling philosophical this Monday morning. Roger Waters is coming to play the entire album The Wall here in Montreal at the Bell Centre. Hubby is going, but I'm not. Though I'm a huge Roger Waters fan, it's his solo stuff I prefer and so I just couldn't justify the price tag: a cool $250. The Wall is Ritch's favourite album, so he must go.
I'm feeling philosophical because I've had to ask myself some tough questions about how I've been spending my time lately. I've spent the better part of a year investigating and experimenting in social media, including blogging. It's been a … (24 comments)

High Retention Rate of Real Estate Brokers/Agents in Quebec - 10/08/10 11:58 AM
Here in Quebec, Canada, we've apparently just experienced the highest retention rate of real estate brokers/agents since 1994, the year when the provincial association* for real estate professionals was created.
The cut-off date for renewal of our licenses was September 15, 2010. Notices were sent out to almost 20,000 real estate brokers** in the province of Quebec, advising us (and then reminding and reminding us) that the deadline was coming.
According to the October 6, 2010, edition of Proactive: The Newsletter for Quebec Real Estate Professionals, about 87.5% - or 17,448 - of us renewed our licenses. … (11 comments)

3 Common Home Staging Myths - 10/05/10 03:03 PM
These 3 common home staging myths are based on my experience staging and selling Montreal West Island homes. Please note that I am NOT an international expert on home staging and real estate, nor do I play one on TV...at least not yet LOL.
That being said, in the years that I have been staging and selling Montreal West Island homes, I have come across many homeowners who believed they knew how to stage their home. Many did have a good handle on how to prepare their home for sale.
Others...well, not so much. Some had spent considerable time and energy falling victim to 3 … (83 comments)
