Flip This Wholesaler

Holy crap I'm beat. This getting up with the sun and swimming laps thing is kicking my ass. In a good way, though. I'll be back for more tomorrow.

I decided yesterday that I was going to bake cookies for my Mom and my sister (who is now a Mom herself), for Mother's Day. I always send things late (I'm horrible at procrastinating about stuff like that), so I promised myself that I would get them in the mail by this afternoon. I headed out to the grocery store early, and bought all of the ingredients for chocolate chip and sugar cookies. As you know, I SUCK at cooking, and shouldn't be allowed in the kitchen ever, unless it's to open a bottle of wine or a beer or something. Anyway, the whole process took about 3 hours, and my kitchen was a complete disaster when I finished. I resisted temptation the whole time I was making them, but decided to try one when I was all done. You know, just to make sure they didn't taste like crap. Well, long story short (too late, I know), once I took a bite I quickly realized something was horribly wrong. Horribly. They tasted very un-sweet, if you know what I mean...

Turns out, I forgot to add the effing sugar. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

What an IDIOT.

Well, at least Jim liked them.




Other than my cookie disaster, the day went pretty well. I got two really good counters on offers I made Monday. I went to take another look at one of them, and, of course got lost in the hood for a half hour or so, looking for one of the comps. The house I was looking for was just bought by an investor whose name I keep seeing in the tax records, and who I have been trying to hunt down for the last couple of weeks. When I finally found the house, I was delighted to see this in the front yard:



That would be a for rent sign with his phone number on it. If he's buying cheap rental properties, he might as well be buying mine....

I gotta go to bed. I'm beat.
