What a freaking crazy week! Work has not slowed down, which is a great thing, but on top of working like mad, my sister and I had a garage sale this past weekend. What was I thinking? Not that I didn't want to do the garage sale, but it was a little much. Thank god my sister was here because I spent half the time inside negotiating a half million dollar contract(which I think is finally coming together). The other half of the weekend I spent haggling over $.50 pieces of crap. On top of that I picked up a new client who I ended up having to show on Saturday (by the airport none the less). I have to admit I was kind of happy I didn't have to garage sale all day, but working until nearly 8pm on both Saturday and Sunday wasn't much fun. I will say, we made nearly $2,000 over the 3 days...not bad. I would guess about 80% of what I made was in baby clothes (at $1-$2 per piece!).It was downright embarrassing when I started getting out all of Layla's clothes. I couldn't believe the amount of clothes we had accumulated in 2 years. Neither could some of the passer-by's. I got asked on more than one occasion how many daughters I had. Embarrassing. So what did I do with the money??? Yep, I turned around a spent it on a bunch of clothes for Layla (and a few things for myself). We both need new summer wardrobes so it had to be done. I will say though I used some restraint and didn't over buy. I'm actually quite proud of myself!
As for this week, I think my work schedule might slow down just a bit. We are still fine tuning some things on the contract I was negotiating all last week and after showing them 6 more houses yesterday we have back up plans. I'll be glad to get them under contract (we've only looked at 132 homes at last count!). I have 2 other clients to show this week, one seller that is finally (after 2 years) ready to put his house on the market (you can't hear it, but I am laughing. If a sign actually goes up in the next month I'll be amazed). I also have social engagements Tues, Thurs and Fri nights. Yup...kind of a slow week around here. Ha. Ha. Ha. Who am I kidding?
I've gotten a few emails asking how Layla is doing...she is fabulous! What a fun age this is. Her speech and vocabulary has sky rocketed, as has her singing. It's hysterically to listen to her play. You can see and hear the imagination that is starting to take off. As is her stubbornness (wonder where she got that from?). She has taken to picking out her own clothes. Last Friday I had picked out a cute little dress with bloomers for her to wear to school. When I realized it was a little chilly, I decided she needed leggings on. This was all fine until she decided she also needed the bloomers on and her bright yellow and orange crocs. She pretty much looked like a 3 ring circus, but hey, she was happy. The last few times I've picked her up from F-head she's been wearing his clothes. Apparently she has a new fascination with putting on his shirts. Either that, or it's a ploy he's pulling to get me to do some of his laundry! :) Either way, she's pretty damn cute running around in this huge shirt.
