Working hard, still no income so it's time to infuse this household with additional cash - now where to find that perfect PT job that pays big bucks?!
Bankruptcy - a pain in the ass but oddly a relief. *Sigh* Now I am just another one of the millions who have been burned by the economy...but I WILL come out on the other side stronger and more prosperous - just watch me!
I will NOT give up on my career! I WILL stay in my house! Hear me roar!
Men...pfft! Between the hot Frenchman who is like watching paint dry when it comes to personality, and the LDS who writes with underlying coercive attempts to convert disguised as "love letters"...I've had enough of these losers. Still, I remain hopeful and await the return of the fire chief from Miami.
One week until my girl returns! W000T!

Seems I have been busy...
Working on my various websites, twitter accounts (there is even one specifically for real estate!), holding open houses, printing flyers (this NEVER seems to end and ink just never is plentiful enough) and dealing with finances (hmmmm...). BUT, I promise to try and keep up here better - I know, I know...said that before - this time I will try harder!
Wanna see where I've been working?

YUK!
Finding your office to be covered in dog vomit is a REALLY good excuse for not working. OMG I don't have the strength or "Resolve" (LOL) to deal with this today!
Is my life in retrograde?
Guess I'm not very good at this blogging thing after all...I mean to stay current yet time has been wonky of late and I miss months at a time - and not just here!
Where Oh Where has my motivation gone? Where Oh Where have all the new people that I had hoped would show up in my life gone?
Am I not doing something right? Missing some "work"? Or is this a lesson I am learning and have yet to understand?

Seeking abundance this weekend!
Single mother of two, willing to work hard, be pleasant to all and in need of abundance will be out in the Universe this weekend. Can be found on Saturday driving to 5 or 6 homes, briefcase in hand and ready to offer any and all knowledge at her disposal. Following the mecca, entertaining of a lovely couple considering making a purchase will ensue. Sunday will be spent in one beautiful home, entertaining anyone who walks in the door whilst speaking of the grandeur of the property.
Looking for a purchase on Saturday and a sale on Sunday. Age, height, race, not applicable. Would love to help others find exactly what they seek.
Any and all energetic assistance is greatly appreciated.

My how time can pass without me noticing...
So much has happened, yet at the same time, so little. Mostly time has moved forward and I feel as if I am stuck somewhere in the realm of no time.
2 full months have passed...and I really can't say that I have anything of import to impart.
Business, seems better, but still no paychecks...so can I say it is better?
My girl is a temporary "local" - which means I get to see her fairly often (wonderful!), but has raised so many stupid details to be dealt with that it is more than a little frustrating (not her fault at all tho - most of the blame falls on the shoulders of her beloved Richmond University...sigh).
My boy is finally well enough to get on with his life and is enjoying expanding his social enclave - a very good thing. Now if the school would just get their act together (are my kids' schools being difficult only to me? Seems like a pattern here...). But, all is good for him since he is now the proud owner of an '01 Sebring and I am a tad jealous :)
36 hours of complete sleep - albeit odd - can be a wonderful thing. Guess I needed it, eh?
The economy is scaring the crap out of me...I don't want to become one of the masses who loses their home and works a 9-5 job for minimum wage - truly I can't think of anything worse (other than the loss of a loved one).
I'm going to try, yet again, to be more on top of this blog - it DOES seem to help in a cathartic sense.

Day 1
First thing to get working on for the new year (after the lovely task of taking down the tree) is to repair my totally out of whack sleep patters. Staying up until 4, 5, 6 or 7 am. has simply GOT to stop! I'm expecting a lot of new business coming my way this month - I want to be awake and alert. Lesson working on.
New Years day has always been a really weird sort of day for me. It's the penultimate anti-climax day (tho Christmas day used to hold the same feeling when we celebrated that holiday). All the anticipation is over, the stores are closed, and we, as a people, all just hang out (some watch goofy parades and college ball - but that never floated my boat - pun intended) and the kids begin to think about school being around the corner once again. At least I am hangover free this year, as I was last Jan. 1st. Still there is always something melancholy about this day.

Amature night - No thanks!
Tried to send out a different kind of New Years greeting to my mailing list this year. Looks yummy to me and made me feel a little unique. :) (see above)
Definitely staying home and laying low tonight. Not drinking takes some of the "kick" out of this particular holiday. When I remember that last New Years I tried to pull together a huge party for all the singles on CL, it makes me shake my head in disbelief. Maybe it's age, maybe it's simply maturity, maybe it's just where I am in this moment - but it really seems like no big deal to me. Just another night that will fuck with my brain tomorrow when I have to remember that it is 2009 instead the habitually recorded '08. But at least I can get the darn tree down and file away all of the totally unorganized papers that accumulated over this past year. I like the clean slate feeling of Januarys!
Still, to those of you so inspired to attend or host a gala event, I hope you all have fun and a safe night (and that tomorrow isn't toooooo painful! :) )
Happy New Year once again!

2009 on the horizon
Another year...wow, how they seem to fly! Think I'm going to lay low for the changing of the calendar. Already wrote a check and actually got the 2009 part right! LOL
Next year (resolutions perhaps?) I want to get back into my gym routine, make some new friends, increase revenue/cashflow, lose the weight I put back on in '08, continue reading as much as I have been these past 2 months, knit a sweater, ski?, fall in love, and travel more (London is already booked for March! Woo hoo! Greece is on the dream list!).
Happy New Year to all!
(Another new label! "Times they are a changin'")

Been Awhile...
and it has been a BUSY while...
The holidays of course take some time - nothing special here other than to have my children home safe; the sound of their laughter and songs; the best gifts every - handwritten letters from each kid to me (made my heart melt and I would have been in complete tears if it wasn't for the silly voices they used when reading them to me!). Time for the obligatory tree and decorations to come down. Had an idea to un-decorate on Christmas eve and toss the tree on Christmas day (Yule was a week earlier this year) just to make the neighbors wonder but daughter-dear wants it all still up so, up it is.
Been doing a lot of reading these past weeks - on to my 4th book this month. I adore Kathleen O'Neal Gear!
Relearned how to knit last night - enjoyable and relaxing even though it brings out the perfectionist in me.
Letting go of people and and things is getting pretty easy (maybe too easy?)
Locating old high school friends is an odd experience 32 years later. After the initial catching up - what to say? And why? Could these people, spread all over the globe, ever be friends again? (This excludes my 2 dear friends with whom I have always been in touch with off and on over the years - you know who you are! Oh, but you don't read my blog do you? LOL)
I'm staying VERY hopeful that the market will break loose come January! New homes to sell, new buyers and financing for everyone! Bring it on!
Stupid, yet serious, argument between ex and step-sons has lead to awkward position for me and discord for children. Sorry you brought this on yourself. Most people feel you NEED and DESERVE this. I'm holding out opinion and trying to remain "Switzerland".
I worry about my father every day. Why do I think there is something he isn't telling me about his illness?
(Note new "Label" - why hadn't I thought of this before?!)

Things I Am Thanful For
My children
My father
My friends
That as bad as it was it wasn't worse
The beautiful home we live in
The food that is never in short supply
My clients
Colorado
Obama winning the election
The brave men and women who serve to protect our rights and freedoms
The fact that I am still learning and growing
Happy Thanksgiving!

Can this week be over please?
I've had my heart ripped apart
I've hurt more for someone else than I have ever hurt for myself or another human being
I've been betrayed by someone who actually said she "wanted to teach me a lesson" - ironic eh? (This one is really minor tho)
I'm very worried about the health of 2 of my most loved ones
I understand the feeling of "helpless" more than I ever thought possible
I made bad choices and hurt a loved one
I learned the real feeling of "HATE"
I tried to do the right thing and failed
But...there is always tomorrow...

I'm still here - and all is good :)
Wow, been awhile! And I thought that I was fairly addicted to this darn thing (blog that is - no doubt about my puter!)
So, what's new?
Homebound program is the best way for us to go - and we know it works
LAX still rocks my world!
Thought I had someone good to hold on to for a bit, but emails just aren't enough - not to mention I DESERVE MORE! Can't make time for me? Pffft. Take a hike! Lesson learned.
Old "friend" 'o mine...you are nothing but trouble and can and will say anything necessary to get your way - not my style - and NOT gonna mess with those I love if I can have anything to say about it. I just know that me being out of the picture makes it that much better all around - so adios, bon voyage and adieu. Lesson reaffirmed.
Where were all the trick-or-treaters? S is now going into sugar overload and all he did was see 3OH!3 - not a single knock on a door or shenanigan LOL (yes I finally found out how to spell THAT word!) Lesson learned?
MUN is supposed to be AMAZING - it truly sucks that it wasn't this time - the next one HAS to be better!
I am 100%, totally and completely addicted to the RatPack - please join me! I need more "rats" to trade with!
Casino Royale needed some real poker players to coach the actors! OMG, like any respectable player would ever handle chips like that at a $2/5 table let alone a $10mil buyin! Disgusting!
Outlook is SO frustrating...need I say more? Lesson, um, dealing with...
Broccoli with melted mozzarella has become a new staple.
True honesty can get you a lot of responses - let's round it to 100 or so. It can't get you chemistry tho. Lesson learned.
Dexter and True Blood - ahhhhh, now THAT is entertainment.
Lost items CAN be found really easily when you are best friends with a psychic! Lesson reaffirmed.
"Read'em and reap" is changing my life - all aspects. MANY lessons being learned.
The IRS can kiss my sweet ass - I am NOT the low hanging fruit!
I love my kids more than ever - I hope they know this...
So there ya' have it. A two week update. Pretty concise, if I do say so myself.

If you know this woman, no harm intended!
Guess he's not interested and ya' know what? I don't really care.
There is no emotion that I know of that runs stronger than that of being "Momma Lion". Watch it mister - you may have completely fucked with the wrong lioness.
I have renewed faith in magick - the work works!
Epstein Barr - sounds like a really scary illness, but I'm keeping my cool. Come to find that 2 others we know are also inflicted. Sigh.
Idiotic office people make my life much more tiresome than necessary - who hires these people anyway?
I received THE most beautiful gift from my house guest! Thank you! I truly LOVE it! You can see the artist's work here - she paints on silk, how cool is that? The one I got is called "Paints" (as in horses) - I would have put a pic of it here but she must be updating her site as I type - dang!
Only 5 days - but who's counting? :)

My daughter is a "Whiskey Girl"? LOL
History of "I'll be your Huckleberry" http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-huc1.htm
Not much help...still it sounds kinda adorable...are you?
Feeling a TAD better today (could it be the DayQuil?) But if anyone were to ask me about having a flu shot, I'd say, I'll take my chances...better than "I really don't want to get sick...here's my arm, please inject me with a virus". Damn. Last time for that in spite of all the people who swear by them.
Actually made it out of the house today tho...groceries, liquor and a client...
Cleaned up the kitchen too...2 sick people in the house make for a sink full of dishes.
Ex to arrive in town today...can I strangle him? Oh wait, something tells me he is already in a stranglehold by another - poor fellow...what on earth does she have on you to make you such a total wimp?
Going to Vegas Baby for Thanksgiving! Woooo Hooo!
Lesson learned: stupid spending is stupid! Think I'm learning anything finally? LOL

I don't think she's going to make the beauty pagent.....................without a face YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Good thing I decided to never say never...
House guest DID turn out to be a new friend and I really had a good time with her tho it is way nice to have my home back to just me and S. She is welcome anytime again tho!
Some weird questions were raised...but I think I'll let sleeping (or dead?) dogs lay.
Joy: Sweetness is coming home in 12 days! Best news I've had in a long time!
Confession: I have a serious love/hate relationship with poker. Counseling perhaps? :)
Fear: I wish with all my heart that S would recover...it aches to see him so weak.
Fear and lesson learned: I'm not manifesting anything here when I say that I am a bit concerned over cash flow at the moment...time to get creative! There is more than one way to skin a cat as they say.
Confession: I promised my dear friend I'd call her back and didn't. I'm sorry...you still mean so much to me and I will call again soon...life has been out of the norm.
My sleep schedule is out of whack again...sigh...acceptance is in order. Lesson.
I have so much to be grateful for. (In spite of all my whining here!) And, I am!

Enough's enough
Not saying never, just saying why bother? Sheesh. Sure a bottle of wine can help you accomplish a ton of stuff (I have always been one of those people who can drink all night and then paint the entire house), and sure it makes for some additional laughs at a party...but why bother when it also makes you feel like shit the following day or when it can cause you to look like a fool at the grocery store? No nevers, just a resounding no thank you! Been there done that and am grateful that my guestroom looks marvelous and that I didn't do anything TOO stupid, but it just ain't worth it.
Same goes with the damn cancer sticks that, for me, go hand in hand with above mentioned alcohol. Again no nevers. just I've had enough of it all. Mostly the sore throat in the morning and the general stink of them - yuk.
So here it is Monday morning and I am looking forward to a good week - albeit one with a house guest. Sigh.
