Things that make you go hmm

Today I was supposed to golf with Kim at Seven Lakes to catch up on some rounds that she has missed, (I'm caught up). I couldn't make it though due to some work obligations.

It's a good thing to have work obligations. That means the possibility of money in the future.

I had a real dry spell for closings this past late winter and spring. I did sell a few homes, but they were all set to close in the summer, which made me feel like I was not contributing to the health of our finances. Not a good feeling to have.

Now that I've recently had some closings, and some checks come in, I feel much better. Savings are up and debts are down. It's a good thing.

Not a good thing is the fact that I don't have any work clothes that fit me comfortably. Of course I've been avoiding the typical Realtor appearance in the summer months by donning golf shorts and polos. That doesn't cut in this cool fall weather.

I ventured to the mall yesterday, and after perusing some stores, I settled on one to try on some clothes. Never fun.

I think that Reitman's (formally known the world over as carrying apparel suitable for grandmothers and spinster aunts did have an excellent selection...), has skinny mirrors in the dressing room. I looked good, (a rare occurrence). Hmm

I tried on 3 pairs of dress pants, (all different sizes) and purchased all of them. Hmm, odd. If I average out the size I bought, I discover that I am the same size as I was last year, yet those pants are no longer comfortable. Hmm

Well, I'm happy to be suitably clothed for what I hope to be a prosperous fall season. Although I just heard on the news something about some serious Chrysler layoffs. Ouch! Not good for real estate in the Canadian Motor City. I think it's going to be even more of a buyers' market. I'll keep you updated, or of course you can check out my website. Plug, hmm
