Pee and Puke

Recently I have gotten a new cat. I got him back in October. My sister had her gallbladder removed and I helped her recover. While I was at her duplex I saw a beautiful black and white (what looked like) kitten. The nights are now getting really cold and the temperature average is about 30 and below. On the third day, the cat came to my sister's door and meowed. My heart melted and I picked up the cat. He purred and I fell in love. Shortly after, I had my sister make inquiries around the complex to ensure that the cat didn't already belong to anyone. It seems that everyone knew this cat but no one owned him. With winter on the way, my heart went out to him and I took him home.  I took him to the vet, got him all his shots and gave him a good home. Now, I already have a cat. Milo on the Downlo, is his name. The new cat was for my daughter who has been bugging me to get her her own kitty. After a month, it seemed like the cats were getting along and that all was well in the ...

Hooker! Are you a hooker?!

Today something happened that reminded me of the 1981 movie Arthur.  There is a scene where he's in a fancy restaurant with a lady of the night that he picked up earlier.

Oh not like in the movie but I was mistaken for a prostitute. I will explain. I went on a meetup group meeting downtown that was being held in an expensive hotel. I have never been to this hotel before, nor have I gone to one of these meetup group meetings. Now this is a PROFESSIONAL meetup group. And I don't mean THAT profession either. It was a women's entrepreneurial meeting. I wore a business suit. A BUSINESS SUIT!!!!! Now I don't have tons of money but I don't exactly dress in rags either.  I walked in, looking admittedly lost, when some smuck walks up to me and asks me if I was "looking for someone." Well of...

Being a real estate agent is like....

...a sixteen year old, sexually frustrated boy. Let me explain. As my five readers know, I have decided to get into real estate.  I've been doing this for about 3 whole months. Now I know that I have unrealistic expectations for myself. For example, I feel that I should have already closed my 56 deals and made my first million dollars. Has that happened? No. What I have learned is that this whole thing has been a humbling process of hard work and mega amounts of rejections.  As I was going through my many moods of success and failure, I spoke to my mentor and expressed...mostly in tears...my frustration and anger. She smiled, told me to take a deep breath and explained to me that most people don't have their first closing for 8 months or so. I was shocked and appalled. 8 months!!!! It's a good thing that I'm not the only one in the family working.  What she said next lead me to my conclusion. She said that the feeling I would get at my first closing would ...
