Good afternoon my following! So while it is always fun to just go around and do things and spend time with my daughter, it's also fun to work. I'm actually sending this out an marketing a co-workers listing since I presently don't have one. When I first started in Real Estate, I heard horror stories. How agents were backstabbing and cut throat. They would do anything to undermine you. While this may be the case somewhere, it certainly is not the case at Keller Williams. I absolutely adore my office and while I'm not there nearly as much as I would like to be, I know they are still like family and when I come in for help, they are there just as I would try to help if I could. So enough about that.
A beautiful dual mater home with and upstairs loft, it is ready for move in. A beautiful kitchen with granite counter tops and updated cabinets. Check it out.
Pass it along to your friends, family anyone that you may know interested.
If you know anyone that is interested in buying or selling, even taking a peek at the beauty above, contact me today.
Last week we decided to take our 4 year old daughter to Disneyland for the first time ever! I figured at this age, she was old enough to maybe remember and love it and be excited about it at the same time! I've never been a huge Disney fan myself, of course I loved the movies, but only went to Disneyland once, and it was 11 years prior and never really cared to go back.
However, Shaolin, loved princesses and the pure excitement when she saw Mickey online, I knew she would love every bit of it. I decided I would let her in on the surprise since we did have to drive, and its about 5 hours. She was ecstatic.
As you can see above, she is dressed as Miss Cinderella herself. I have heard of many people doing the bibbity boppity boutique and I actually called in advanced, but booked. It must be popular! In lieu, before we left town, we took Shaolin to the Disney store, because she of course wanted to wear a dress!
I got her all dolled up before we left the hotel and she was just as pleased. I could go on forever about how great her first trip was and post hundreds of pictures. However, it could drag on, and while I know every mom is excited, I think, you just have to experience it. The first day, as Cinderella, wasn't much rides. We went mid-week, and off season, hoping for less lines and they were, but it may have been very overwhelming walking in. After getting our autograph book, her eyes lit up at the sight of Pluto, Goofy, Mickey and Dale all in the same area! After only waiting a bit, she was able to get a few pictures, signatures and off to rides. All in all, even waiting 20-30 minutes a ride, she did fairly well. I think the excitement kept her going.
An hour wait though, for the group of three princesses. However, Cinderella herself was in there, just waiting. We all waited patiently for the line to keep going and going and going. The wait was well worth the pure excitement the minute we walked into the Royal Hall and she saw Princess Aurora first. It only got better when she saw Cinderella.
How could you not love this. She was in princess heaven and smiled from ear to ear. End of day one went well, left without a fight and I think out of pure exhaustion, didn't mind leaving.
The second day was much more rides as we got the important stuff to her out of the way. Lines, WAY shorter than the day before. Note to self; Wednesdays are little line days at Disneyland.
We were able to do Autopia.. the racecars. Shaolin, likes fast cars, and racing and rides, so I thought, well, she tall enough to drive, lets race! If you've been to Disneyland, you know that Autopia, if you're in front, you're always going to be in front of the car behind you. It's rigged. Shaolin was determined to beat mommy, and my boyfriend captured a clip of the event.
The rides went well and at the end of the day, my favorite picture is below. Last ride, which she had to do twice, but still so very excited.
For more exciting pictures, check out my facebook.
This is what happens when you don't hit your numbers. I told you that I'd let you know. This is it. My absolute favorite gym pants that I just ordered, worn once.. hanging up on the office as a pure motivation. In order to get the back, I have to hit all my numbers and set three appointments.
Today, I sit in the office, staring at my pants and about to cold call and go door knocking. One, to kill it. Two, I really want my pants back. There isn't much to say about the penguin pants... but pictures speak louder so here they are.
So in my efforts, I'm reaching out to you as well. If you know anyone interested in buying, selling, renting or investing, please let me know. Let's save my pants!
I am enrolled in a group coaching along with a few of my fellow agents. With all of us meeting once a week and getting number ( contacts ) and goals to hit. We spend time doing a variety of things, but all help us become better agents. It's often nice to see the other side of the transaction, or just the objections and situations beforehand.
We have spent some serious time role playing, which always makes me nervous! The role playing helps though, we really do start to get an idea of what to expect, and how to answer with the most knowlegable informtion. In addition to role palying, daily, we call in our scripts. Yes, a script that may be 1 page or up to 11 pages, but everyday, we call. We live real estate. We breath real estate. We eat real estate and we are real estate. A little much? Maybe. I only do real estate as a part time job at the time being, but its such an ever changing, and fast paced career that you have to be fully involved and at all times.
Since we spend a little bit of time together, our meetings can get a little odd, but nevertheless, we all leave with something to take home, back to our office and practice. Just a little insight I wanted to provide before tomorrow, you get to see the consequences of what happens when you don't hit your numbers. hint hint.. myself.
Pet-a-Palooza in Las Vegas
2014
Yes, I know, I'm a few days late but I've had a sick puppy and kid. However, I did get a chance to go to my first ever Pet-A-Palooza. I took my daughter, my Rotti Bailey and my pug, Guinness. Bailey is still a puppy ( the one who has now eaten something and made herself sick) and Guinness is momma's boy. We rescued him from California. He's great around other people and dogs so I figured he would enjoy the time out.
First off, we made the mistake of parking on the opposite side of the park. Oops! If you've ever been to Vegas, or Sunset Park, its huge! So after a little walk, and a stop at the playground for little, we were well on our way. Mix 94.1 was there with a giant stage, we were greeted at the entrance. The Las Vegas Animal Foundation was doing complimentary microchips and there were vendors galore!
Guinness
With all sorts of contraptions, leashes, toys and even a giant bounce house, I have to say that it is an event I will attend again. The best part for me was the fact they had a reptile stand. Apparently my daughter has an odd obsession with snakes and wants to see them all! I'm deathly afraid of them, but no, not her! So, once we find the snake tank, she looks at the little ones, notices a rattler and lets me know that they bite. Thank you honey, they do, so why are we so close!? Anyways, they have about a 6-7 foot long albino python out for show around one of the handlers, and of course, she wants to pet it. A snake, a 4 year old little girl that loves pink and dresses and ruffles, wants to pet a 6 foot snake. How can I say no?I was too afraid to take a picture, or we would have seen it right here, but I'm holding her while she gets to pet the snake. Made her day and the men were very nice and we went about our way, while she expressed her excitement for this snake.
Overall, we saw all different kinds of animals, snakes, dogs, pigs and even lions from the Lion Habitat. Adorable! I'd have to say it was great and the puppies seemed to enjoy it as well as Shaolin. Looking forward to next year. Here they are, passed out from excitement.
Kenny and I at Las Vegas Iron House
Great Grubbing. Two beautiful words I learned this past Tuesday while spending a cardio session at my favorite gym.
Kenny from Great Grubbing was there with samples. A man that can bake! Any girls DREAM! Chocolate, breads, and peanut butter... samples.. at a gym. Now what's the catch!? I just worked out for 45 minutes, I don't want to mess it up. Turns out, you don't have too! Great Grubbing offers healthy and flavorful protein edibles.
While trying the samples, and probably one too many, I ended up getting the Apple Cin Peanut butter. Everyday since, I have eaten it. Amazing. I can't imagine going back to normal peanut butter, or Almond butter now. I won't go into all the details about nutrition(which you can view from his site), I can just say, its great! He also offers a cheesecake line, which I haven't tried yet, but my girlfriend says it's to die for! Leaving with me I took a card and a menu, you know, so I can stock up!
Menu and Card! Adorable!
Here is a link to the site and the Facebook page. I highly recommend next time he's out and about you go see him! Seriously. Don't take my word for it though, try it!
I chose to do the Bubble Run, my girlfriends and I geared up and we did it. I've never been a runner. I'm definitely in to the gym and lifting, but running, not so much. I'll always say it, it's just not for me and I've never gotten that runners high. However, I picked this run because 1. I did'nt HAVE to run if I didn't want to and 2. It looked extremely fun!
Well it was all of the above and then some. Somehow when I envisioned this run, a mass of people all side by side, touching uncomfortable and squeezing through tiny bubble spaces. It was the exact opposite! Very controlled and free spaces, with lots of room for wiggle. I loved it. It was my first 5k, and it won't be my last. I didn't run the whole thing, but I might get there one time. It was more just for the fun and completion of it. I had an overwhelming sense of accomplishment in the end and I was proud of myself. Never in a million years did I think that not only would I do one 5K, but gearing up for another! You know what follows after a 5 K.. Cookies and Cupcakes.. but that's for next time.
And to that.. I leave you with the bubble pictures I took! Who doesn't love this?
The ladies who dare the run with me

This is the excitement of accomplishment right here!
