Ok, Ok, Ok...I'm trying to get the hang of this 'Blogging' thing because it's the 'thing to do' (not that I've ever chosen to do ANYTHING for that reason!) I'm really thinking that it isn't like anyone listens to me when I talk, so why should they listen to me when I type? And my mother (YES, my Mother) signed me up on Twitter to keep up with me... Yeah, I'm 40 years old and she's still trying her best to keep up with me!!! (WHAT A GREAT MOM! :-) But anyway, she signed me up weeks--ok, truth be told MONTHS ago--and since I'm a little bit busy-LIKE ALWAYS- I'm just now getting around to looking at the site. It SEEMS relatively harmless-right? I can do this---surely if my MOM can do this, I can do this!! Maybe???
I'm sure I can figure it out... so I've been 'studying' up on this Twitter stuff on ActiveRain, so now SURELY I can do it for real------Here goes nothin'
Alrighty!... so I'm signed up, I've invited a friend or hundred, I've added a profile, and picture, and linked a website or 5, and I've wasted---HOW LONG??? Your kidding me! I just signed up for this and now I've burned up a WHOLE AFTERNOON? That I should have been selling something...UGH! I should have been PROSPECTING; making calls, and making contacts and setting appointments and getting signatures on stuff...on ANYTHING...but here I am trying to 'twitter'....THAT even sounds bad....Oh, but it must be ok if my Mother registered me...right??
Well since I've already lost a whole afternoon, I may as well look into the 'Blipping' and see what that's all about. Isn't there a sight where you can take care of all this at the same time? Or would that be called MySpace and Facebook??? Who Really Has That Kinda Time???

I was on a conference/training call this morning...just as I have been every morning for the past 3 weeks (OK-weekdays only) and my friend-as well as a member of my mentoring group-Chris Prescott made a fantastic observation. He commented on how our economy got into it's sad state because of everyone who uses their home as an ATM.
I feel that he hit the nail on the head because if Real Estate is basically the back-bone of our economy, and because we as a society cannot control our desires/wants/needs??/spending and we have to keep using the cash-out value of our home to bail us out of our financial sink hole...where does it stop???
For most of us, our home is the largest financial obligation we have, but it's also the largest asset we have. So if financial security is built by building value and equity in our largest financial asset...why are we trading that in b/c we can't pass up all those little 'luxuries' we think we NEED? Can't we just use a bit of will power, some restraint?? Make a few minor adjustments...maybe take your lunch...pass up the coffee house a bit...wait on purchasing those extra pair of shoes/jeans/glasses or the newest game/CD/DVD.... Just wondering...it's gotta stop somewhere...
