I’m a sucker for common sense.

Back in June I mentioned that I needed to come up with a term for the type of writing I do. It's creative. But it's typically business related (real estate, mortgage and credit industries). I came up with a couple wacky names...but nothing has taken hold. I also mentioned that I know I need a ...

No Vegas for me…

Well, I was hoping to go to Vegas next month. But it's not happening. Between the puppy and the kid and scheduling conflicts...I'd be looking at popping into the BlogWorld Expo for a day. Literally flying up there Saturday morning and coming home Saturday night. And really, there are workshops that I really ...

Working for Free = Bad Business?

Yesterday's post sucked. At least I think it did. I felt pressured by my self-imposed "post a day" edict. And the day got away from me. So last night, when I really, really, really just wanted to go to sleep, I was cranking out a post. Stupid. I know. So if you think yesterday's post sucked, ...

Everybody likes a freebie, right? I came across a free ebook site today. I'm not a big fan of ebook fiction. In fact, I would never personally read fiction on my computer that isn't some short piece of b.s. written in a blog or something. I love to read, but I'll take ...

Vegas, Baby!!!

I am jumping the gun on the graphic below because I'm not even registered yet. But I am oh so tempted to go! Hell, an expo in Las Vegas? A business write off? Should I really have to think so much about this? I'm a novice blogger. As you can probably tell by this blog. I am ...

Glitter = Bad Marketing Tactic

I stopped to see some models the other day. Not only did the homes look interesting, but I do like to stay on top of what's new in the area. We walked through, dissected the good and the bad of all the models and determined yet again that there is no way a person can have their ...

Taxes – a dirty word?

For some people, mention taxes and you will get the steely gaze of doom or the gagging noise of an old lady choking on her ill-fitting dentures. I'm not one of those people. I believe taxes have a purpose. Would I like to pay so much? Heck no! But I do believe in paying my fair share. And now, ...

HOA Meetings…ugh

We had our first annual Homeowners Association Meeting this week. We haven't hit the magical number of 75% ownership, so all the power is in the builder's hands and it's obvious. Especially when residents speak out and ask for something. Builders, especially TAYLOR MORRISON - here's a tip for you: Listen to your residents. Drop the ...
