...Lollipop will now be playing the role of a Real Estate Agent. A few weeks ago some good friends contacted me and asked me if I knew of anyone who wanted to buy a house in Eagle Rock. Two years prior they had moved to Colorado Springs as a test (wel really my friend appeased his wife's whim) and after falling in love with the place, they decided it was time to retire and live permanently in Colorado Springs. They had made some really good investments in life and so they had the luxury to say "Ce Le Vie" to Los Angeles and go live their dream in peaceful Colorado. Immediately, I couldn't think of anyone so I just put it in the back of my mind. That is until I remember the Forsgren's and how they were looking for a house in the valley. Then all of the sudden I started thinking of other friends who might be interested. After gathering up all the information on the house from my friend I suddenly found myself making a flyer and taking a tour of the house to look at all of its assets. I was answering e-mail after e-mail and all of the sudden I felt like a Real Estate Agent. Charlie and Kristy ended up coming to LA for a quick trip. They were celebrating Charlie's 40th Birthday with friends so that gave them a good opportunity to see the house. I took them on a quick tour pointing out everything I had learned. They seemed to really love the house. Even after checking out other houses they came back to this one. I have now put them in touch with my friends in Colorado and they are talking. I am very excited about the prospect of them being so close to our house. It would be so awesome to have good friends who are married to live so close by. At Charlie's birthday party Kristy pulled me aside and told me that they really hope they could be our neighbors and that she was looking forward to having a girlfriend so close by. I must admit I was secretly excited at this prospect as most of our friends are now all spread out all over LA. And my super close girlfriends are busy with their lives to get together a lot so to have this opportunity is most exciting. Not only do Kristy and I share a love for dogs, movies, and Japanese culture but we love the spa. Can I dare to hope I have a spa companion in my future? Well, we will see. But for a little while it sure was fun playing Real Estate Agent it almost got me thinking that perhaps I had a new career looming around the corner.
Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of
