michele miller: WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? ~ PART 2
- 08/03/10 01:39 PM
Okay, I just have to vent! Last night, my husband and I had gone to the gym and there were about 20 pizza boxes there on a table for members to eat. I really thought this was so odd to have this type of food in the gym. Well tonight, when we went to the gym, my husband asked the woman at the counter, why the pizza was there last night and she replied, "Oh, we do that the first of every month!" Can you believe that? So now, I have to have pizza in my face the first of every … (11 comments)
michele miller: WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?
- 08/02/10 12:52 PM
Okay, maybe it was just me, but tonight after work, my husband and I went to the gym to do our usual workout for our weight loss challenge. When we went to both check in, I noticed the gym attendant had a plate of pizza on the counter. Not only did I see it, but I smelled it! I thought I was in a pizza parlor! Unfortunately for the next 20 minutes I had to watch her eat those two big slices of pizza while working my butt off on the treadmill. How fair was that? I don't mind watching Dr. Oz while … (5 comments)

- 07/31/10 02:29 PM
Voted one of the Worcester's best restaurants, my husband and I finally tried EVO on 232 Chandler Street, Worcester. Supposedly EVO is unlike any restaurant in this area, and we had heard so many good things about it. With us both being on diets for our weight loss challenge, this restaurant offers a variety of dishes for the Vegetarian, Vegan, or Gluten-Free consumers. The restaurant is located almost at the corner of Park Avenue and Chandler Street in the Living Earth building. For starters, we had each a drink and ordered the Stone Baked Avocado Tuscany Salad for $10. The … (2 comments)

michele miller: I WENT TO RAINCAMP BOSTON!
- 07/28/10 01:14 AM
If If you would have asked me 6 weeks ago from Raincamp was, I wouldn't have had a clue! But on Monday, I ventured into Boston to attend the first Raincamp in my area to meet some of my fellow Rainmakers! This venture started early in 2010, when I confirmed a friendship on Facebook with Kathleen Cooper. Little did I know, that this friendship would lead to a whole lot of knowledge in this business and a whole lot of fun! I got to know Kathleen after discussing on each other's walls about our obsessions with "The Biggest Loser" and "The … (5 comments)
michele miller: But I Can't Blog!
- 07/25/10 10:29 PM
Two months ago, if you asked me to blog, I would have told you that I couldn't and that I wasn't even going to try! Well, that was only until I started going to a workshop on Blogging in June. Shortly after taking the class, we were told about the real estate website "ACTIVE RAIN". I had never heard of it, nor did I think I had the time for another website to utilize in my business. Spending many hours on Facebook, networking with friends, family, business professionals and clients, I thought, "Why do I need to blog?" Well, now … (7 comments)

Is it Monday YET? Most of us would have Friday in that sentence but I have been asking myself this question for the past week now! Can't wait till tomorrow when I head down the Massachusetts Turnpike early tomorrow morning into Boston. I have about an hour drive into Boston and am anticipating all the things I will learn tomorrow when I spend the day there. I am a newbie to Active Rain, just joining in June, but I feel like I've been a part of this real estate community forever! The information that I have gotten from all the … (3 comments)
michele miller: TWO TORNADO WARNINGS IN WORCESTER!
- 07/23/10 02:57 PM
It was a wild week in Worcester! Both Monday and Wednesday evening this week, the National Weather Service had issued a tornado warning for the Worcester County area.

This time, the area was 11 miles west of Worcester and was moving east into Boston. The tornado warnings this week … (3 comments)
michele miller: MY WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE ~ WEEK THREE!
- 07/23/10 03:43 AM
Well, it's week three for me and my husband with our weight loss challenge! We have been faithfully going to the gym every day except for Saturdays. Sadly, we haven't been going out to eat as often because we are both afraid of the temptations when you go out to eat. There is so much good stuff on the menu and before you even sit down, they throw the bread and oil on the table. Then comes the drinks and I'd rather eat my calories then drink them. I've also come to realize my weaknesses. As I was driving around … (5 comments)

- 07/18/10 01:02 PM
Well, another week of my husband and I's weight loss challenge! We survived another weekend of dieting and exercising. It's tough on weekends to control what you put in your mouth. We missed one day at the gym but did go tonight, even though we both didn't feel up to it. Once we did go, we were glad we were there. It does get you motivated again, as long as you don't go home and eat all the calories you worked off! I have 15 more pounds to lose for me to be at my target weight for our trip … (7 comments)

michele miller: WORCESTER HISTORY ~ BANCROFT TOWER, SALISBURY PARK
- 07/14/10 07:26 AM
Bancroft Tower in Salisbury Park is right in my neighborhood. Situated on one of the seven hills in Worcester, one of the wealthiest men in Worcester in the late 1800's, Stephen Salisbury III donated over 11.8 acres of land in this area and built this tower. Constructed for around $15,000, this tower similar to a castle was built out of granite, boulders and cobblestone. He then named the tower "Bancroft Tower" in honor of George Bancroft. George was a statesman, politician and had written a ten-volume history of America. He was also the euologist for Abraham Lincoln and the founder of the … (3 comments)
