The unedited version of my professional and personal life. Observations, pet peeves, cries for help, and just plain nonsense.

Why is it every time I type "blog" spellcheck warns me with that scary red squigly line that I have done something wrong? If you'll notice when you right click on the so-called misspelled word the possible suggestions are: bog, bloc, blob, blot and so on. I feel that if bloc and blob are in the d...

I have very much enjoyed AR so far. A great tool for business professionals; BUT I am really enjoying the generic blog posts about how someone's day went, or showing nightmares, someone's pet peeves, and such.

My daughter had an appointment with the dentist this morning. Unfortunately she had a cavity in one of her molars and even though she still has baby teeth (she's 5 years old) it had to be filled.

I just told another agent in our office that I was blogging last night for hours. The information on this site is unbelievable! Wha...

No, my name is not misspelled.  Thank you to everyone who has responded to me with my name spelled correctly.  Yes, I know it's an unusual name but it's what my parents chose. (off a gravestone no less) As an adult I have learned to appreciate it. As a child, I used to wish my name really was Kri...

I am saddened every morning as I turn on Good Morning America only to hear more tales of the neverending downturn of the real estate market.  I know things could be better, but they make it sound so dior. Where's the bright side? What a great time for buyers! The interest rates are low, the marke...
