Raeltors are dirt.....and I am a mental cracker.

Yesterday was a supposed day off.
It started out ok. Did very little work around here. Went and ran errands.The cats were down to a few crumbs of food.(bad mama )



Went to the grocery store. went to the half of a half store,a couple thrift stores, ate chinese lunch with Floozie1 , then I actually went to the stinkin' mall. I meant to look for some birthday prezzies for the kids. But found NOTHING.
Have I mentioned that our mall sucks?



By the time I got home my whole head felt like a swollen beach ball. I don't know what it is I'm allergic to in this town , but it comes and goes. Strikes at random and makes my face practically swell shut.Eyes, nose...lol pretty soon I look like a rotten piece of fruit.



Earlier ,Eva had called me and told me that these buyers wanted to go look at the bar at 7:30 that night. (lovely)



These particular buyers are not ours. They belong to another agent D.
So, she was going to be going as well.



We were supposed to show them the bar we have listed and another one down the street. I do my makeup , fix my hair. Then the hell of trying to find something to wear ,begins.
There i am with my swollen beach ball head. I look and feel like utter crap!by the time Eva gets here, I am on the verge of tears . I answer the door ,still dressed in rags.



She says "I take it you're not going?"

"no, I don't think I am/can."



She goes on without me. I take some benedryl and fight back tears of NOTHING. lol



So they have to go early to the second bar to get a "permission to show", signed.(because this bar is not listed at all)



We have told OUR bar (for the second time) "we are showing your place tonight"



Eva calls me about 9 p.m. "well, guess what?the buyers didn't show up."



"NO! I can't believe it."

(not! I totally CAN believe it) Why are people so damn inconsiderate? All that trouble that everyone went thru ,TWICE ,now for these same damn people......and they just blow everyone off like dirt.



Note to Eva and D: ya'll are lucky I DIDN'T go, lol , I would have totally cracked up bawling like a baby.



Then Eva tells me that they DID get pulled over for drunk driving. ACK!


D was driving and she does not even drink. But they still made her do a road side sobriety test.
(when it rains it pours) lol



I was way too fragile minded for this little excursion. LOL
Thank God I stayed home. They probably would have taking my bawling self off to the nuthouse.


The benedryl did not help. I still look like a rotten pumpkin. Today we will be door hanging .So hopefully I will not have to encounter any live people. :)


Have a great day ya'll! Later peeps.

I was at this big indoor shopping center. In the mens department ,I found this wallet in a shopping bag. I had just looked in it to see if there was any money and score! there, was. I pulled the money out and stuffed it in my purse, planning to go see how much it was.



then this guard comes up to me and says"did you find something that doesn't belong to you?"



I went all STUPID and blurted out "I have to go to the bathroom!"He says"go ahead, go to the bathroom."



So, I'm in the bathroom trying to figure out how I'm going to get away, without admitting that I have the money. I wasn't about to give up the money!



By the time I come out of the bathroom , the guard is gone. So I start looking for the way out of that place. it was like a damn maze. I wound up in elevators, other stores, medical floors. Crap!



I finally find a door that leads to the outside . And I am walking and walking and walking, I can not find the truck!WTH!!! I swear I have been over every inch of the parking lot. Which is this massive double decker thing.



I'm totally paranoid , waiting for some cops to grab me at any moment.



I still don't know how much money it is that I found.



And then Cavuto starts his crappin "wake me up" routine.



Paw the eyes, paw the face, knock down the phone, knock down the phone charger,paw the eyes some more. Then he starts grabbing my hand by my wedding ring and pulling on it.



You little sh*it!!!



So, needless to say , I never did find the truck . Nor do I know how much money it was that I was so desperate to keep.


***********************************************************************************

Yesterday was broker tour. We saw this lake condo and I just LOVED the womans decor.
She had tons of monkeys and elephants. And Just oodles of stuff I would have bought. I had to say "Let me know if you ever have a yard sale!"



I will put it up here now as the "featured listing of the week"











The view from the patio. awesome , no?














The living room , I would love to inherit the contents of. :)


















Neat stuff EVERY where!




















The kitchen even had monkey wallpaper.










This beautiful condo features gated community, 2 pools, tennis courts, 2 bedrooms , 2 baths.The master has a balcony with a gorgeous lake view.Walk in unit w/wood floors, tons of closets, and the Lake ,lake ,lake!!!

All this can be yours for $269,000. Call me and I'll start your paperwork!This would be fabulous as a second home AND nightly rentals are allowed.

A plain old day in paradise.....

Well, if anyone cares to tell me how to delete the Spanish nonsensical comment...which is probably some Spanish porn site....please educate me!!!



And for God's sake...don't click on the link people!! I didn't even try that.



Today was a work til 6 p.m. day ....naturally after being woken up at 4:30 . :(



But tomorrow is a work from the boat day. YIPPEEE!!!!
That's called a "sort of -day off"


But I can handle that.



I will let today speak for itself ,in pictures.

Actually ,maybe SOME of the day. Believe me, the rest was WORK!

"woo hoo!! I found me a box!!! And no matter how small it is ...I can fit in there!!!







Good night ya'll!

day off of boredom....


ola people,

yes, i know everyone is mad at me and thinks i am ignoring them.


i swear ..it's not true! i'm not ignoring you!


i am actually just so damn exhausted , i think i should go to the doctor about it. my spouse assures me that it is normal to be exhausted when you're old.
well, is it normal to be hyper your whole life and then SUDDENLY be exhausted EVERY day? i think not.


i have not been able to take naps the way i do now, since i was pregnant ...OVER 20 years ago.


note to self: make doctors appointment.


today was my "day off" and i had big plans to go out on the boat .but noooooo...the weather looked like crap and everyone kept telling me "oooh, we're gonna have a big thunderstorm"



so , i leave the house like 9 a.m. to start running my errands that i have been too busy to do.


you know that was exciting. lol


i did pop in the salvation army though and i found out that the guy from the other day, the wreck and the shooting, it was his wife that he shot!he had told her that morning "today is the day you die"

why she didn't drive immediately to the police station , i do not know.

maybe that WAS where she was heading.(she was only a few blocks from there) but apparently he wrecked his truck into her car and then came out and shot her ,and her friend that was with her. she did die.

last i heard the friend is still alive.but very badly injured.


man , that kind of stuff just makes me ill.get some therapy people or WALK AWAY!!!
hope they didn't have kids.


ack!


so , i get home from errands about 2 and instead of going out on the boat ...i try to read ..but can't keep my eyes open . so yep...take a nap .


my darling called and woke me up nearly 2 hours later.


so that was my thrilling day off. :)


later on ate some leftover chicken fajitas and watched a movie. it seemed long...but maybe that was just me. it was called "men of honor"


it was a true story about the first black navy diver , back in the 50's


it was one of those movies that made you proud.....to be human, and proud to be American.
i give it 2 thumbs up!

have a great night/ and day ya'll , i'm off to bed.

Humiliation......you can't scare 'em all...

Well, most of today went to hell in a handbag.


We started late because most of our appointments were in the afternoon.


So,I was home all morning and did not accomplish much.By the time Eva and I met at the office she had this embarrassing tale to tell:


We have been trying to find this client some gas stations.

Ok, so we've been stopping at random gas stations "inquiring of the owner, if they would like to sell it."


A few days ago ,we went to this gas station on a certain corner in town ,and we were told "yes , we do want to sell"

We give the kid our cards and he says"oh , my dad , he will call you!"


So , this morning Eva calls our buyer and says


"I found a station for you, right here in town ! But they really want to sell it so you will have to act fast!"


"Where is it located?"


"it's at bla bla bla corner"


Dead silence from the client, probably, as he is trying to refrain from spewing coffee out of his nostrils.
He can finally speak" You're trying to sell me my OWN gas station?"


Crap! he already owns it. the stupid manager was just acting like the "big man" like HE owned it.



*cackle* all I can say is I am glad it was HER and not me. I would have crumbled with humiliation.



But not my Eva.....what does she do?


She says"Well , since you already own that, do you want to buy a bar?"



GO EVA!!!


He's going to ask around about it. :)



Then our 2 afternoon appointments ...one canceled and the other did not bother to call at all.



We also got lost ,looking for some land, ate lunch at the Sushi restaurant and then we quit early...4:00.



I got home and spent the next 3 hours finishing a book I had started yesterday. And I must say it was a damn good book! The best one I've read in quite some time.

It was called "Heart shaped box"
by Joe Hill

and NO it's not some stupid romance novel ...as the title might have you believe. It is a horror/ghost story. Go...Go get it NOW and read it!!!
The library will have it ..when I return mine. :)


Goodnight ya'll!

kittens in the garbage murder in the streets ...part 2

For some reason it wouldn't let me finish that post.



So , anyhow......good thing I made my detour. I could have been the one in the car accident with that crazy guy!!!





Instead ,I was driving
through beautiful down town Hot Springs.

Thank you God!







Then I came home and went out on the boat! Floozie 2 and her spouse tired their boat up with mine .





it was pretty busy out there. Old fogey cove was full of boats!









you can see how rough the water was.

it started raining and all the boats took off , leaving us in our cove .
there was no lighting so we stayed!










ha ha !

guzzlein' beer like Homer Simpson....LOL










the last boat getting out of "our" cove









then I came home ,made some chicken fajitas and took some pics of the babies.
So without further ado.......
cats pictures!! yippeee!!!









































































































ANDDDD ...I got my pig sty back to a livable condition.
















































Have a great day ya'll !!!!

Kittens in the garbage murder in the streets...

Well, here’s the recap of my thrilling day yesterday.



I left here planning to eat lunch with Floozie 1, go to the car wash , take a box of junk to the salvation army and go to the grocery store.




As it turned out, I took a detour after lunch to the “cat shelter” thrift store. While I was there they were right in the middle of washing 5 tiny, half Siamese kittens. Some ass*ole had thrown them in the dumpster! Like garbage.

Where do these horrible people come from??




Then when I tried to go dump my stuff at the salvation army….I saw this.


The whole road was blocked off by Police.



if you click on the pictures you can see the full sized version.

Exhausted neglect.....

The poster child of neglect.......would be this house!

This is what happens when one works EVERY waking minute of the day.






office stuff,boxes of postcards,
















more office stuff











what happens when your bed hasn't been made in 4 days.

clean laundry piled on couch.












no time to put away ironing board.
yes ,i did actually IRON a shirt.













boxes of stuff that needed to be sorted and put away (about 2 months ago)
boat bags, piles of stuff cats have knocked down.
piles of rejected skin tight clothes ,and somehow
even a pair of ians shoes that he left on the boat LAST year!






You are probably asking yourself...."how on earth could ONE person make such a mess?"

A few different ways.

A.trying on clothes in a hurried frenzy ..only to realize they ALL make you look fat (er).

B.trying on shoes in a frenzied hurry ...only to realize they are all too uncomfortable to walk in or they are ALL too fat for your scrawny feet.

C.franticly searching for things in a frenzied hurry .....only to realize you can not find said THING.

D. having an entire office full of paperwork and office paraphernalia and no where to put any of it.

E. by being woken up at 4 A.M. every day ,by this moron ,thus being too tired to clean after working 14 hours ,while utterly exhausted.











sitting in the window ,looking at birds at 4:30 A.M.
















Woo hoo!!! an early rising bug!!










See how easy it is.

And finally , the ultimate picture of despair and neglect......














Yes, I Am shocked , horrified , disgusted and ashamed.

So, I guess we all know what I'll be doing for my day off. Don't we?

Please send a backhoe,a spare room and fresh plants.

Have a great day ya'll !!!
