That's What I Get For Thinking...

Just when I thought that things were calming down at work and we might be able to get ahead and get some of the little projects done, we get an e-mail today that the next auction has been scheduled....UGH !! And not much time to waste....we have to mail certified letters tomorrow (over 50 of them)to stay in the proper time sequence and then get the legal ad typed up to send to the papers for publication. There isn't any time to spare....our auction is November 12. Hopefully we might be somewhere else at that time...LOL...This is the first auction that we've had to get started. Once before we came in right after the certified letters went out but left before the auction and then at this location we came in the night before the auction and worked till 2 a.m. getting ready for the auction. So, I guess now we are seeing the front end of the process.

Weather has taken a chilly turn lately. Have the furnace running tonight....didn't get much above 60 degrees today. At least the wind died down today so I could pick up trash around the property. Yesterday it was so windy that it was a futile project. In fact, the bucket I had on the back of the golf cart, half full of already picked up debris, blew off the cart and all the contents blew away before I could even get to the bucket. Now that's windy !

There are some good, new shows on TV this fall. Last week I watched Cougartown with Courteney Cox. It was really funny. Missed it tonight but am now watching Eastwick, which is equally as fun. I also love Shark Tank, where budding entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to five rich venture capitalists to see if they buy into their business. I enjoy seeing the ideas that people have come up with and have turned into businesses. Last night there was a college student who developed a soy based Playdoh type of product that kids with wheat allergies can play with safely. The "sharks" went crazy over it and several of them were pitching him. This young man cooks up the product in his mom's kitchen but can only make 12 tubs of dough at a time. The makers of Playdoh have approached this young man to buy his patent. How cool is that ? Well he took a deal, from one of the sharks, and will probably be rolling in the dough very soon.
