Well, the deal closed yesterday without a hitch, which means that the number of deals I have done is officially in the double digits!! Woo hoo! I can still name them in order by street off the top of my head (because I am a dork): Northdale, Morning, Flora, Altman, Bowl, Sunrise (or Sunset, I forget), Jean, Kingston, Temple, Windsor, Trilby. I look forward to the day when I can't do that any longer.
We were unable to find a buyer for the other deal I was working on, so my friend is going to close on it himself and rehab it, which means I won't make any money, but it wasn't my lead to begin with, so I don't really care all that much. Win some, lose some.
Yesterday I had grandiose (did I spell that right?) plans of shooting off a bunch of offers, but the book I ordered from Amazon to take home and read over my Christmas vacation arrived, and I ended up reading the whole thing from cover to cover in one sitting. I started out saying I would just read the first couple of pages, and then, next thing I know it's 11pm, I'm finished with the book, and it's time for bed. Now I need a new book to read. Any suggestions? Something inspirational would be nice. Anyway, the book was very inspiring, even if you aren't into tennis, or dating Roger Federer like I am. I highly recommend it.
So, guess what I'm doing tonight? Anyone? I'm bartending! That's right, I'm dusting off the old bartending tins and going back in time. A friend of mine (who is the most phenomenal chef on the planet) is catering 3 parties tonight and needed an extra bartender. So, I'll be pouring martinis all evening (and most likely drinking them, too) at some mansion on Bayshore Blvd. $200 plus tips. Nice. Two of my other friends will be working there as well (we all used to be bartenders and/or servers in a past life), so it should be a good time. I'll try to take some pictures.
Speaking of pictures, here are some of the Busch Gardens outing......

nhs just posted a recommendation for a book over on the reiplace forum. Looks like a fun read to me.
Way to go on the deals!!
Hey Steph!
Nice to see things picking up speed for you. I'm reading a couple of mindless books right now...
I Love You Beth Cooper - Super funny book that I recommend for mindless teenage lookback reading, and I have just set that one down for The Driver by Alexander Roy. If you like cars/driving fast it is a good one. I pre-ordered it from his website and got it signed. Nice.
Enjoy your trip home as much as possible and use the time to nail down your activities for 08. I agree that the doom n gloomers out there are only making it better for the rest of us sticking with it.
Buy low, sell meduium...

Do you like crime fiction? I HEARTILY recommend anything by James Lee Burke. I started with "Dixie City Jam" and have read everything he's written since.
