Late Night AR--The Few, The Awake!

By
Mortgage and Lending with SUNSTREET MORTGAGE, LLC (BK-0907366, NMLS 145171) NMLS 223495

 Out of 55,526 members, 53 are currently logged in.  It makes me wonder who the other 52 are, and why they can't sleep through the night like normal people.

We're not your normal Active Rainers. 

That's Cheryl Johnson in the first position, top-left, with the big glasses.   What you can't see from her AR Member picture (can't call it a photo, can I?) is that she really does have a full head of hair, and her eyes are half-shut, probably because of the late hour.  Photoshop reveals such details when you adjust the image with Shadow/Highlights.  Voila!

Next to her is a relative newbie from Michigan, Lisa Bender.  Lisa's first blog appeared on AR in August.  She only posted one that month.  In September, she picked up the pace with 6 blog posts.  13 in October.  Lisa hasn't joined Active Rain Addicts or Early Risers, but she really needs to do that.

 One more, and I have to go back to bed.  Matthew Blum is a lender in Florida.  That's him, third from the right on the bottom row.  Of course, when I think of Matt, I think of him up on his soap box!  Matt is my favorite mortgage blogger on Active Rain, hands down.  The English Teacher in me wants to point out the difference between lose and loose to Matt, but to date I haven't done that.  Matt probably never lost any money on loose women--a losing proposition (almost wrote preposition) at best.  Me neither.  (I don't want you to get the wrong idea about me.)

If you recognize one of those faces as someone you know, give me a comment.  Tell us a story.  This is going to be a great day, if I can get any sleep before it starts.

And that's the late night real estate opinion of this Tucson, Arizona mortgage lender!  'Nite!

I'm certainly not a late-nighter.  I'm usually in bed by 10:00 P.M.  I like to watch an episode of King of Queens and then it's off to dream land.  I'm up at 6:15 and out the door by 6:40 a.m.

I'm an early-to-bed, early-to-rise type.  You probably won't see my lovely face among the logged in members after 9:00PM west coast time.  But, hey, come 4:00AM I'm up and at it and rarin' to go.  Early, early AM is the best time of the day for me.

 

P.S.  Oh, look, I've got a tan!

Linda, thanks for spotlighting Kris Wales.  She's one of my favorites too!

Scott W, I'm glad your interested.  Had your morning coffee yet?

Scott D, I usually turn in sort of early, and find myself awake around three.  Blog till 5, and nap for an hour.  Up and out at 6:30.

Kris, you could use Pay Pal... Seriously, check out Cheryl's other blog--DaBlogMother.com--and see her "tip jar."  While you're there, listen to This Guy Is Good, but be sure to come back.

Dan, you're too normal.  What are you doing here?

Eric, see?  You know what I'm talking about!

Linda, demand pay pal!

Jo, love you!

Cheryl, get out the sun tan lotion!  Love your other blog!!

Lisa B, thanks for being a good sport!  Welcome to Active Rain!

Richard, thanks for commenting!  I get by on 5 or 6 hours.

Lisa R, it IS magic.  Don't give away the store to the newbies.

Cynthia, you WERE up early this morning!  Thanks for stopping by.

Pattie, I miss Manahawkin during deer season!  Yup.  That was me.

Thank to all of you for commenting!  I sure appreciate my readers.

I was shocked at that number....the least I've seen is about 500 something.....now we know it isn't the late nighters, it's the ones that wake up before the chickens :) :)

Now, I've been on AR late at night and early in the morning, but can't say that I've ever been on when there were only 53 members logged in.  I think I've been experiencing a bit of overload lately so fortunately, I have gotten more sleep than usual.
