Places To Advertise For Rehoming of Cats?

Aug. 3rd, 2007 | 09:14 am

Any ideas other than LiveJournal or Craigslist to post re. looking for a home for two cats that are neutered/spayed, up to date on shots, FIV negative and in the Atlanta area?  And NO, the humane society is not an option.  I would rather just buy a lifetime supply of Claritin.  ;)

Looking For Good Home For Cats! :)

Aug. 2nd, 2007 | 11:40 pm
mood: grateful grateful

I have two cats who need good homes.  One is a male and one is a female (mother and son.)  They are 1 and 2 years old.  They are both fixed and up to date on shots.  Also, both tested FIV negative.  They are solid grey and VERY cute!  They also are great with kids and my small dog.  One of us is experiencing allergy problems, unfortunately, so I am being forced to make them stay either outside or in one room in my home.  They would MUCH rather be inside.  They also LOVE canned food.  :)  I am in Douglasville, but I can drive to find them a good home.  They come with "stuff," as well (bowels, toys, beds, etc.)  Respond if interested!

Always Wanted To Be a Real Estate Investor or Own Your Own Home?

Jul. 15th, 2007 | 06:35 pm

If you are interested in owning a rental property or even if you would like to own your own home, I can help.  We currently have several houses in downtown Atlanta.  We are offering them at a wholesale price and also offer a cash back option, if interested.  Drop me a message if you would like to be notified of wholesale properties as they become available.  Thanks!  :)

Um, WHO'S the boss?!

Jun. 20th, 2007 | 11:34 am

Does anyone else work with their spouse or significant other?  If so, are there days when you want to kill them?  I love my husband, I really do.  But, he seems to think that he contributes SO MUCH to our business.  R-i-g-h-t.  Um, buddy, you like to drive around downtown Atlanta so that you can get some quiet time.  Since summer has set in, Tommy will leave each morning, go check on one of our rehabs, and "look at properties."  Honestly, I think he's driving around enjoying his morning coffee at Javaology!  I just feel annoyed when he acts like I am just sitting at home perusing PerezHilton.com.  Yes, I might allow myself the occasional look at LiveJournal, but for the most part, I am advertising online, answering the phone when someone who has completely overextended themselves wants to sell their home for full value when it's been sitting on the market for a year and no one has bitten, or dealing with the kids.  Holy run on sentence... Anyway, there are days when I enjoy having someone to bitch with about tenants, but other days, I think that he thinks that he's the boss in the company.  Argh.

Same kids that were making me cuckoo, yesterday, are being angels, today.  My oldest even offered to watch the toddler so that I could take a nap! :)  It's a good day to be a mommy. ;)

Ah, it's the beginning of summer... I am FULLY aware of this by the sound of my children fighting at 9 a.m. and not just at 9 p.m.  I honestly thought that over 8 years between my children would bring nothing but harmony.  You see, I thought that they would be in different places in their lives and not have anything to argue about.  I was wrong.  So VERY, VERY wrong!  My little one has learned how to unlock the deadbolts.  He will leave.  He doesn't tell you that he's leaving.  He just does it!   You will quickly know by the sound of the door shutting.  My mom owns the house next door.  There is a pathway cut between our homes for the kids to walk down.  As soon as Carter realizes that we have followed him outside, he will take off for my mom's house.  Kelsey will be chasing him.  Much screaming ensues thereafter.  About this time, a potential homebuyer will call.  I won't be able to grab the phone due to the sound of screaming might just scare them off.  It's going to be a LONG summer at this rate.

Today, my daughter had two of her friends over.  I was in the room with them as they were watching MTV.  The song, "Party Like a Rock Star," was on.  One of the girls said, "Man!  The skank girl is humping that pole!"  These are 11 year olds.  It's amazing to me how mature they are/look.  My daughter isn't/doesn't.  She is still not into the whole makeup/padded bra thing, yet.  And YES, some 11 year olds wear padded bras.  I guess they are fishing for 15 year old boys.  Who knows.  All I know is that it's disturbing how some of them look.  I never thought that I would be come a prude at 34, but apparently I have. :)

What did I do today?  Well, last night, I didn't go to bed until 2 a.m.  This is normal for me.  However, I woke up at 6:30 a.m. today and stayed awake.  Normally, I get up, get my daughter off to school, and go back to sleep until 9 a.m. or so.  Today, I put out new mulch.  For some reason, this was very satisfying.  I pulled comps for an appraiser who doesn't know how to do her job.  I talked to the hard money lender who is trying to bend us over on a house we are buying.  We have been with them for a while and suddenly they are lowering their loans to 65% of after repair value for specific zip codes in downtown Atlanta.  This sucks.  I am trying to get them to reconsider with us since we never pay late and rarely take draws on the rehab until it's finished.  For those of you not in real estate, this is totally boring.  We are buying an infill house over in Lakewood.  It's yet another house that we are buying to flip that is better than my own home.  LOL!  We are actually planning to break ground on our new house within the next 6 months.  I can't wait!  I want to smell new house when I walk in the door. :)

Happy belated Mother's Day!  I spent the last two days in Ellijay.  My husband and I had thought that we were going to buy a vacation home in the Coosawattee River Resort.  After the last two days, I vetoed this idea.  I truly have never been so car sick in my life.  The small, windy roads up (down?) there made me miserable.  Plus, there was just not a lot in Ellijay.  The resort itself was nice, but I am not a big outdoorsy type.  You'd be more likely to find me in front of the computer, curled up with a book, etc. than out hiking.  Part of the problem was that I am still hurting a bit which added to my overall dislike.  But, even in the best of moods, it just wasn't for me.  So, the quest to find something continues...

Hubby has just left to go play poker.  He used to win a lot.  The last three weeks, he's lost.  I don't mind him playing when he wins.  :)  BUT, $200 buy ins and losing doesn't thrill me.  If he loses tonight, I'll start complaining.  I actually sort of enjoy him playing.  I get "me" time and I get to control the remote.

I'm BACK! :)

May. 10th, 2007 | 03:19 pm

Well, I am back!  I spent the last week at Crawford Long Hospital.  Last Wednesday night, I began to suffer extreme pains in my side.  I knew 100% that it was my gallbladder, again.  I thought I could wait it out.  I was wrong.  I would say that the pains rivaled those of childbirth.  I gave in at 4 a.m. and went to a local E.R.  This was my first mistake.  The E.R. doctor was an idiot.  He shot me up with Demerol and tried to send me on my way.  He told me to wait until my appt. with the surgeon next week.  You see, leading up to this, I had already experienced severe jaundice (bilirubin levels hit 21) and was hospitalized for a few days a month ago.  I had 3 ERCPs and had a stint placed during my hospital stay, as well.  I knew that the E.R. doc was full of it.  I called the Emory surgeon that I was supposed to see the following week.  He told me to come right in.  I showed up and he sent me to the Crawford Long E.R. I waited for 5 hours.  I sat in the waiting room moaning.  At this point, I had lost all pride and didn't care how pathetic I appeared.  Finally, they called me back.  My white blood cell count was 18,000 and my bilirubin level was at a 6 already.  They admitted me.  I had ANOTHER ERCP done.  The stint had "shifted significantly" and had set up an infection.  So, I got to spend a few days being pumped full of antibiotics.  I also had my gallbladder removed during my stay.  They told me that mine was "rotten."  I am back at home, now.  It hurts pretty bad.  It's okay, though, since I have my friend Percocet to keep me company. ;)

What did I do, today?  Well, the entire family got up and actually made it to church.  This is quite a feat since DH usually puts up an argument or excuse.  He actually seemed to want to go, today.  Odd... My son actually made it all of the way through the service in his little 3 year old class.  They said that he only cried for me one time.  This is the first time that I have been there and not had my number flash up on the monitor telling me to come and get my child.  Afterwards, we went to Dave and Buster's.  It was okay.  My son is still young enough so that he doesn't really know if he is actually playing or if he's just sitting there watching the game intro thing.  Soon enough, he'll be spending $20 in 10 minutes there. ;)  I am trying to do a major clean out to my home.  Considering that I am a bit of a minimalist, this might seem funny to those who know me.  However, in order to maintain my sanity, I have to do major clean outs about every 6-8 weeks.  This drives my DH nuts.   He'll get over it.  :)  I am also going to hire a professional interior decorator to help me make my house more inviting.  I am a weirdo and hate to hang things on the walls.  I need someone to tell me that it looks good before I commit.  I am an odd one, what can I say? :)

Stevie B's Is Hell On Earth With a 3 Year Old

Apr. 27th, 2007 | 10:14 pm

Okay, I had to do school pick up, today.  I also had to pick up an extra two children.  I offered to take them along with my 3 year old to Stevie B's Pizza Buffet.  BAD IDEA!  My 3 year old was in rare form.  To preface this, he has sensory issues and they suspect that he possibly has Asperger's Syndrome.  They don't know for certain about the Asperger's Syndrome, but he is a quirky little guy.  Anyway, he was showing out for the new faces amongst us.  It's pretty obvious that he's gearing up.  He has this Spiderman underwear set that he LOVES.  Well, being the sucker that I am, I allowed him to wear it under his normal clothing.  First, he took off his shirt.  Okay, whatever... The Spidey shirt just looks like a man's tank top.  Redneck, but not uncommon around here.  Well, I should have known that the shorts were next.  I vetoed this idea.  This resulted in a breakdown of monumental proportions.  You see, with Asperger's, kids have a tendency to engage in echolalia.  Basically, he gets an idea/statement in his head and he will repeat it OVER and OVER.  I got to hear, "Take them off!  Take them off!  Take them off!" multiple times.  I, however, am not one to make innocent people suffer, so when he starts this stuff, we go outside.  Five minutes later, I have distracted him and he's back to normal.  The two kids with us will probably go home and say a prayer of thanks that they don't have a baby brother/sister.

Zoom!

Apr. 26th, 2007 | 08:33 pm

I totally had a "me" day.  I had Zoom whitening done to my teeth.  They are SO freaking white, now!  I am a total Coca-Cola junkie so my teeth had become stained.  It hurt a little, but the results were totally worth it.  I need to spend more time on myself.  Since I have had children, I don't blink at buying them a ton of new clothes, toys, etc., but I rarely do anything just for myself.  I think I'll get my haircut, next week.  I need to plan a summer vacation for the family.  I am thinking about another cruise.  Has anyone done a Disney cruise?  We are going to NYC for 4 days already.  I am looking for fun things to do with an 11 year old girl in NYC.  Ideas?

Okay, I am a landlord at a rooming house. The house is supposed to be sold this coming Tuesday. Please cross your fingers, toes, legs, etc. that this happens. Every time I go to this house, I wonder how in the hell people can live like they do! I mean, how can you expect to have a meaningful life when you live in chaos? The house is a disgusting mess, no one appears to work regularly or at all, and they have no ambition. BUT, they can manage to get out of bed long enough to smoke a cigarette and give me some stupid excuse as to why they don't have rent. I don't care. I really don't. It's noon and you are still asleep. If they had any clue how disgusted I am by them, they would be amazed. They probably think I am this nice landlord who is just so understanding. I can't stand them. I really can't. It almost scares me how much I dislike them. I am partially to blame. I am too nice. If I were to be a total bitch, they would shut the hell up and pay their rent. They would still live like pigs, though. The house smells. Literally. Last week, I picked up a dug out in the driveway. For those of you who don't know, a dug out a small box that holds a small pipe for smoking dope. I just chunked it into the trash. They are beyond my ranting. The house is under contract. The buyer is going to blow the roof off of the house and go up and back. They will be displaced. Some other poor landlord will be victimized soon enough. When I first got started in real estate, rental properties seemed like a good idea. Renters would pay the mortgage and eventually I would own the house. Right. I forgot to factor in the fact that I would grow to hate 99% of renters and be called a cracker ho when I dared to evict some tenants for selling crack.
