Blogs Never Die....We Just Forget About Them?

Back when I started in the whole blogging world, I started this blogsite. Then I "grew up" and moved everything over to Active Rain, where I get great Google juice for my posts! I've also launched a totally new site for Midtown Atlanta Real Estate, called My Midtown Mojo!

Now I know there are people out there in the real estate world that actually run several blogs. My words to them....God Bless! It's all I can do to keep up with the two above.....so, this little guy kinda got left behind.

So, today I'm reading a blog about how Google is now going to launch Blog Search whereby you can search for a topic and have just the blog stream of that topic come up. Well, I happened to type a more generic term, Midtown Atlanta Real Estate.....and up popped this little blog as one of the "related blogs." Now there is nothing worse than going to a blog and finding it has not had a posting on it for days, or in this case months!

So, I'm just letting you know, if you happen across this one, note the links above for my other two main sites.....and you WILL find me and lots of current posts there. I'm going to try and stop by here every so often, but just in case, you know where I am!

I Like Mornings Because...

I Like Mornings Because.....They are Great in So Many Ways!

I like mornings in many different ways.

I'm the MOST productive in the morning than I am the rest of the entire day. TOTALLY!

I like mornings because nobody else is up in the house and I can think.

I like mornings because I have the first cup of fresh brewed coffee. (Actually it comes in a beer glass so I get twice as much at one time)

I like mornings because I get to watch the birds at the feeder getting their breakfast.

I like mornings because the bird's song is clearer and not drowned out by the noise of the day.

I like mornings because if I get up early enough to leave for the office, I can get there in 10 minutes instead of 30 plus minutes.

I like mornings because of the nice hot shower.

I like mornings because I get to start my day with a big, healthy scoop of Active Rain!

I like mornings because I can look at the picture of my puppy long gone and hear him say "Dad, why you up so early Dad? Need more sleepy." (You know how we all talk to our pets, don't laugh)

I like mornings because they give me the chance to "wipe the slate clean" from the errors and mistakes of yesterday.

"Each new day is a blank page in the diary of your life. The secret of success is in turning that diary into the best story you possibly can." Douglas Pagels

I like mornings because I'm alive and healthy.

Hello morning!

Timeline shows Bush, McCain warning Dems of financial and housing crisis; meltdown

Interesting. So, now who DO we point the finger at?

Sorry For the Festival Goers!!!

It's doing something we really, really need in Atlanta....BAD! Raining! Like, for two days now! It's so strange, we had forgot what it was like! So here I sit, finding time to blog (note last date I got a posting on here...not good!)

But is also really sucks (sorry, best word I could use) for those people attending the Earth Day Event at Glenwood Park on Saturday or the Inman Park Festival and Tour of Homes Saturday and Sunday! I was looking forward to venturing out! We had a break in the rain, a slight peek of sunshine, so I grabbed the ladder and cleaned the gutters (I'm at my house today, not in the condo) and yes, I always remember to clean my gutters once I see all the water pour out of them instead of down the downspout....oh well!

This is my pond at the house....one of the reasons I keep my house AND my Midtown Condo...it's kind of a zel-like retreat from he hustle and bustle...and not a 90 minute drive to the mountains either! Mind you, it does not look quite that good right now from a lack of maintenance, so will be working on that in the coming weeks, to bring it back to life. UGH!...it took me forever to get the water right last time!

Anyway, we had the Midtown Tour of Homes the first weekend in May. We had rain on Saturday, but still had about 175 people visit the home where I was at. Sunday, we kicked butt with almost 400 people coming through! Yippie! The Tour of homes is a fund raiser for the Midtown Neighbors' Association, of which I am a member of the Board of Directors and Chair the Membership Committee.

This was the house where we were House Captains....a great example of a home rescued from a recking ball, and restored to all it's glory!

I love the historic part of Midtown, and when it makes sense, both financially, and physically, I like to see these homes preserved. It sure makes for a great evening walk through the tree lined streets...and then we can head back to our "home in the sky at Plaza Midtown!

Sorry For the Festival Goers! I'm getting my desk cleaned up!
