Random thoughts, random things

I'm here in my home office doing some work on getting my real estate systems in place. Have a systematic way of doing things is the life blood of the real estate business and I'm struggling a bit to find something that works for me, that fits my personality. When I worked in PR one of my first bosses always got on me about having a systematic approach to reaching the media. I hated that so I think I'm struggling because it reminds me too much of the old boss and the old job. Anyway, what I'm trying to do is figure out a way to have all my contacts, projects, sales, and closings in one place so that I'm not constantly re-inventing the wheel. There's software for that and I'm working now to learn it. As our president sometimes says.."it's hard, it's hard work."
Speaking of the president, have you seen the latest job approval rating for him? It's somewhere in the 30s. That's not good. He's struggling too. I think the war is really becoming more of a problem. I wish we would just be done with it. I don't think it's a good idea to try to force our beliefs on other people. Not everyone wants to live in a democracy. I feel so sorry for all those families who have lost loved ones because of the war. I'm sure Bush feels sorry too.
In my weekly sales meeting this week, my manager talked about the changing market. I mentioned this last week. The one thing that seems to keep coming up though is the fact that sellers haven't caught on yet that the market is shifting and buyers aren't willing to pay the outrageous prices that sellers want for their homes. I've told you before, your house is only worth what someone will pay for it. If you're thinking about selling your home, remember, pricing it too high will ensure two things..that it will sit on the market longer and it will help sell the house down the street that's priced more reasonably. Ironically a lot of the sellers who are asking outrageous prices for their homes, don't owe a lot so whatever they get over that is a whole lot of gravy.
Got pictures of my new nephews today. I'm not used to the blog technology but I'll try to post them so you can see. They are so cute! I can't wait to go to Miss. for Thanksgiving so I can see them. It's been a while since we've had babies in the house. My sister, bless her heart, is absolutely exhausted but she loves her new grands.
Anyhoo, the weekends coming. Donna's daughter's coming, Reel Affirmation is coming. It's going to be a busy weekend. Enjoy!
