I still haven't gotten my hands on that darn tiara. Teresa is hanging on it to very tightly! And there is some tough competition in Minnesota:

• Teresa Boardman
• The Codgers
• Bonnie Erickson
• Teri Eckholm

 Not to be discouraged, last week I tried another avenue to see if I could get my hands on a tiara. I entered the real estate carnival, hosted by RSS Pieces.  For the week the carnival was turned into the Miss Real Estate Blog USA Contest. I primped, taped, sucked, sprayed, and smiled for all I was worth.

I came in as the fourth runner up. While quite an accomplishment, the tiara remains out of reach. Here is Miss Real Estate Blog USA and "her" court of runner ups:

• Miss Blog Real Estate USA Larry Cragun: The Skyhook theory for buyers 
• First Runner Up Larry's Take: Unarmed Robbery Broker Style
• Second Runner Up The House Chick: Top Ten Things to Know About Tucson Real Estate
• Third Runner Up Posh'd: Let's Have a Chat
• Fourth Runner Up Lisa Dunn: The Real Payoff in Working With Seniors
• Fifth Runner Up David Edwards: Ridiculous article on MSN...Why More People Should Rent

I'm doing my dardest to up my blogging efforts both here, and my other blog at www.RealSageAdvice.com to see if I can yet reach that elusive tiara...if only for a day...
