Paradise

I write this from the balcony of a luxury villa in Cabo San Lucas, enjoying my morning coffee with the sun, a myriad of birds, and a beautiful view of the ocean that stretches on and on to eternity. Not a bad way to start the day. I can almost forget that I have a nasty cold! There are so many different kinds of birds and pretty flowers for them to lounge on, like an old geezer, I could just sit here all day and bird watch. Soon the beach will be calling my name and I am sure many bebidas will follow. Hasta mañana.

Things I Want

Just a rambling mess of things I would like to have happen, places I would like to go, and general Universe crap.

*I would like to go to the South of France in the summer.
*I would like new furniture.
*I would really, really, really, really like for my house to sell and then to find a great place to rent.
*I would like to wake up and magically be 15 pounds lighter. Good luck!
*I would like 5 new listings.
*I would like to sell my staging stuff. Refer to third line...house must sell first.
*I would like for it to stop raining and be sunny for awhile.
*I would like to sell the rv and the Buick.
*I would like someone with unlimited funds let me design their house, start to finish, top to bottom.
*I would like to visit the Florida keys.
*I would like to visit Scandinavia.
*I would like to be out on a boat in the sunny Puget Sound.
*I would like to have a vacation house in Napa Valley.
***I would like to find a great rental!!

I could keep going on and on but you get the picture. Looks to me like I better get busy working because there are some awfully expensive things on the list. Oh yea, a giant diamond and world peace would be nice, too. And USA to win the World Cup. Peace out.

Death and Weddings

Very hard to believe but my friend Brian got married in New Zealand and J and I went to the reception at Kitsap Memorial State Park. It was a really pretty spot, a log hall right on the water. We had a lot of fun and saw some old friends we hadn't seen in awhile. On another note, I had my second Dia de los Muertos party and it was a lot of fun. There was tons of food and lots of good friends. It was on a much smaller scale this year since it was on a Monday. I would say it was a success. Thanks to Mom & Dad with all their party help. Here are a couple pictures from the reception.

Wacky Summer!

It has been an interesting summer, some good things but a lot of crappy work stuff. Lets hope fall will flush all that out with a good rain. In the meantime, here are a couple pictures from my latest happenings. Bon Fires with good friends, Husky football, and what seems like a million babies.

Odds and Ends....

The weather has been so great this last week! That is not the reason I haven't been updating my blog, though. Just busy and really haven't had anything all that exciting to say. It is officially the start of bon fire season with a couple under our belt already. On the last bon fire we didn't need the heat but loved the 'ambiance'! Real estate seems to be picking up a bit. We sold another of J's houses a couple weeks ago which is great! The big news on my mind right now is J & I are going to start a new business. I am mulling over some name options right now. It is something we are already doing, I just want to make it a little more official so we can expand on it. Don't worry, details to come. I hope everyone is have a good start to their summer!
