Special offer

At the end of the day, my sense of humor was still intact

MehIt was one of those days!  I was at the office and I had a before lunch appointment with a client that I had to postpone because my duty agent was out of the office on an appointment. I finally got to my appointment and a summer thunderstorm rolled in and that was the end of the outdoor video and photo taking for the day.  I'll try again tomorrow.  Oh and did I mention I left my windows open when I was insider her house and that it poured rain inside my car?  

I posted a new listing (with the price) we got over the weekend on Facebook on my Business page and questions followed:

  1. What's the price? (okay I didn't mind repeating myself)
  2. Would we take cash?  (Sure)
  3. Would the seller take a trade for $485,000 worth of mulberries?  (Nope, not making it up)

No, I'm really not making it up, check out my Facebook business page Lane Realty on Lake Sinclair for yourself. You'll love my answer to the Mulberry question.

Then there was helping my friend activate her two new cell phones.  Oh yes, dialing that 800# and getting first someone who we couldn't understand, then the Spanish speaking department (that wasn't the transfer we wanted), they transferred us to the billing department. (umm, we would need service before have a bill), finally after more than hour the phones both work. I was begining to feel like my cousin when she wanted cake and got a hotdog instead after sitting before the cake drooling for an hour.

Ah the water department was next.  We have two foreclosures owned by two different banks with the same water company.  We get two bills.  We write two checks.  We get re-imbursed by each bank.  Simple right?  Well it is until the water company credits the wrong check to the wrong account (yes, we mailed the little stub from the right account with the check)  But after another hour my REO agent spent on the phone, we "MIGHT" have it resolved.  We'll have to wait and see if the follow through happens and corrected bills are mailed.


When I heard the click when I closed the office door behind me I looked down in my hand and instead of my keys, was my office phone. (sigh).
 I guess it could have been worse.  I could have locked myself out of the office with NO keys and NO phone.  My sweet Donald came to my rescue and let me in to get my keys.  I went and got take out the rest is history.  Now back to my favorite spot on the sofa. 

I'm blessed.  Donald did laundry today too.  And I just laughed at all the weird and crazy stuff that happened.  I'm ready for what ever happens tomorrow.  BRING. IT. ON.

Long weekends tend to make Tuesdays more hectic than a regular Monday.  I know my patience was tested a time or two....or more, today.

Mulberries...NO  Morel Mushrooms I may have to consider.

I did have a buyer offer sellers a cow in trade for a washer and dryer.

$485,000 in mulberries, how many is that?

I know your frustration with the water department, we have spent many hours fighting with this brick wall.

I'm pretty sure that guy was joking about the mulberries, but it's a funny story either way.

Debbie- I'm due a piece of cake kind of week

Bob- yeah utilities are not my favorite.

Jared- I really hope he was kidding, but when it came when it did I wasn't really sure.

Would the seller take a trade for $485,000 worth of mulberries?

What? I have a mulberry tree in my front yard. Do I need to start picking the fruit now?     Seriously, how much is each mulberry worthy?

Kidding or not....why put that question in there?

Gayle- that it does

Ron- I told him to sell the mulberries first cause the seller said "no go" on trading for them.

Liz- I got both.
