Happy Friday!

This was some long week for me....I have been working on a short-sale for 18 months (yea, 18!) and its finally going to close on Tuesday!  I cannot believe it!  Every single day this week has been a fire-drill trying to meet deadlines to get us to today and we did it!  So many days I question why the hell I am doing this real estate crap.  I don't have to work but I need to do something to keep me busy and out of trouble.  Also, I need to be able to pick up at a moments notice and leave FL to go home to NY to be with my family so a conventional, 9-5 job is out of the question.  Than, finally, I get to close on this property and it makes it all worthwhile.  This was a situation where there was a divorce....husband re-found an old flame on Facebook and walked out.  I got very close to the wife during this period and I am so happy for her that she will be able to close this chapter and look forward to a better life ahead!

On the weight-front....still holding at 151.  One more lb until I hit goal!  Some days I wonder if I'll ever get there!

We have a busy weekend again!  A concert and dinner with friends tomorrow...no ice cream for me thank you very much!  Sunday I have work in the a.m. and something in afternoon although for the life of me, I can't remember what it is!  Oh boy...I better call it a day!  Have a great weekend!

Wow! Short Sales are nothing but nightmares. Good for you for getting it sold! I spoke to a friend who had VSG in March.n She said mayb e you tried something sweet too soon. She waited over 6 weeks to even eat mushies. She has no dumping issues at all. Her doctor said it can happen to some people, but it is not very common. I hope with time it will get better for you. And the only exercise I would like to do in Chicago, is eat, drink and walk! Hvae a good weekend!

i'm a real estate agent part time on the side for my mom's company and I question all the time why I am doing this! Haha! It's such hard work but worth it when you finally get paid. And they need to rename short sales because they are anything but short!!!

1 pound is just a poop away! Eat lots of fiber today and I bet you'll drop it by tomorrow!
