Hi Everybody! I'm finally back in Florida, safe and sound, and enjoying the warm weather once again.
I was supposed to return Saturday evening, but ended up missing my flight (even though I got to the airport 3 and a half hours early). I'd like to blame the whole fiasco on the weather, but, in all honesty, it was my own stupid fault. Damn bloody marys. I had to get a hotel downtown and then catch a flight the next morning to Cincinnati, and then on to Tampa. The flight to Cincinnati ended up getting in about 40 minutes late, and so I had to make it from one end of the airport (that's a long friggin airport) to the other in about 8 minutes in order to avoid getting stuck again. If anyone was in the Cincinnati airport Sunday around 11am and saw a crazy-looking barefoot lady sprinting towards gate B7 carrying her heels and knocking over anyone and anything that got in her path, well, that was me. There was no way in hell I was missing that flight. One more day without sunshine, and I would have gone mad. I guess all of the running I've been doing paid off, as I made it to the gate with a few minutes to spare.
I took a bunch of photos while I was gone, and was planning on posting some of them, but, my p.o.s. computer wanted to get in one last "eff you" in 2007, and will not let me upload them (or is it download?) from my camera. I can't wait to take a bat to this thing.
Right before I left, I found a buyer for one of the properties I've been marketing. It's supposed to close Jan 31st, and I will make 2k if it does. The inspection period is not over yet, though (this is a conventional deal), so I'm not counting my chickens just yet. I've also got another deal that I'm working on that could get me another 2 or 3 grand, but not sure yet if it's going to work out or not. I'll find out on the 2nd.
I have a lot of other really good things going on right now that I will write about in the next couple of days. 2008 is shaping up to be a great year!
I'm having a Six Feet Under marathon tonight, ordering some chicken red curry (as spicy as possible) from my favorite Thai restaurant, and drinking my favorite red wine.
Life is good.
Happy New Year to you all- see you in 2008!!!!

Happy New Year Steph! I'm almost finished reading your entire blog and I must say...it's quite inspiring. Like you, I'm so eager to do several different things but I realized later the importance of focusing on one thing at a time. I'd really like to talk to you more about real estate when you have time...I sent you an e-mail earlier this week.
Wishing you continued success,
Alex
Six Feet Under is one of my favorite shows of all time! I had never watched a show where I was actually interested in every character until that one.
I wish you all the success you can handle in 2008!! See ya at the top!!

Hey Steph!
I'm glad that you made it home safely. Happy New Year to you, as well. Let's all kick some a$$ in 2008!
I think people under-estimate the power of bloody marys. Made correctly, these little buggers can be classified as a food group!
Happy New Year!!
And happy new year to you, too!
Welcome back, Steph!
The longest airport I've ever seen was Chang Kai-Shek (sp?) airport in Taipei, Taiwan. It is literally one hallway, very very very long. We were waiting there once for a flight to Jakarta, Indonesia for about 4 hours, and my daughter and I decided to walk the entire length a few times. What a workout!
Thanks for joining flipitbig.com Steph! I appreciate your support!
