Random Grumbles
Posted: Wednesday, August 20, 2008 by Travis Cody inHey gang...when you inherit a 700sq foot one bedroom condo in a prime Boston location, and you invest about $41k in rennovations, and the real estate person tells you she could list it for $429k...you've got no business being disappointed in pure profit of $388k.
And then when she tells you that another $10k invested in refinishing the hardwood floors and adding storage would get that price up to $449k, your reaction should be a whoop and a holler and not a disappointed frown. Let's get some perspective and set unrealistic greed aside, eh? (Saw that on My House Is Worth What? on HGTV)
Athletes don't lose gold medals. They don't settle for silver and bronze medals. An athlete wins a medal, regardless of the color.
I despise incompetence, especially when it happens right around the corner from my desk.
I'm also not fond of people who don't work with a sense of urgency for deadlines.
I'm tired of political ads during every commercial break on network television.
I'm a bit tired of being tired.
There are 42 Lord of the Rings action figures that need sticky bases! Hokey smokes Bulwinkle!
Well, that's about enough grumbling. My heart isn't really in it, especially not after popping over to Mimi Writes and getting a nice little surprise. Thank you for the kind words, my dear! You are a true Queen and a classy Lady.
Have a chocolate peanut butter bomb.
