SportClips in College Station - What Is the Big Deal???
March 12th, 2009 categories: Kids, Family & Personal Stuff
What is it about SportCips and Men (and boys)? Why is it such a big deal to get a hair cut there?
Spent a little time waiting for my son outside SportClips today at 200 University Dr in College Station. I watched men and boys go in and sit and wait. SportClips was a little short handed today and the wait was longer then normal but these men were willing to wait over an hour to get a haircut there. Why?
- Big sign on the front - For Men And Boys. All Star Haircuts.
- Sign - No appointment necessary. (never plan in advance for a haircut)
- The name sounds manly.
- The stylists are all WOMEN!
- The decor in the waiting area has a locker room look with a big screen TV playing ONLY sports.
- No one talks while you wait.
- Aggie gear on the walls.... maybe it is a TAMU thing.

I am Thankful for Family, Friends and College Station!
November 30th, 2008 categories: Kids, Family & Personal Stuff
The Thanksgiving holiday is coming to an end. The turkey leftovers are gone, the family has all gone home, the kids are in bed and we are looking toward another week of selling real estate in College Station and our next big event - Christmas.
Are you ready for Christmas yet? I'm not.
Not yet -
I want to hold on to Thanksgiving just a little longer. Thanksgiving is virtually a non commercial holiday and it just feels nice. It feels nice to stop and think about how wonderful our lives are even with the stock market decline, the real estate decline, wars, terrorists.... How wonderful is YOUR life? Even if you have less money, even if your real estate has declined or been foreclosed, even if.... aren't our lives really great? Mine is!
I live in a country where I can work for what I want, worship the way I want and live the way I want. I live a great house, have a great family, live in the great town of College Station, have a great job in real estate and live in the greatest country in the world! Maybe we should

To Vote or Not To Vote - That is the Question!
November 3rd, 2008 categories: Kids, Family & Personal Stuff
Should you really take the time and vote?
NO - Not if you don't know anything about the person, the policies, the beliefs, the reputation, the plans, the platform... you should NOT vote! An uninformed voter is worse than not someone not voting since they are voting at the whim of someone else. If you cannot make an informed decision don't let someone else decide for you. Stay home!
Should someone vote if the race is already decided for their state?
If you know enough to make an informed decision yet (more...)| Discussion: Your Comments Please »
I Finally Decided and I Cast My Vote For…
October 21st, 2008 categories: Kids, Family & Personal Stuff
Surely you didn't think I'd tell who I voted for did you? Sure many of you think you know who I voted for but no one was in the little booth (which really isn't a booth at all anymore but more like a little stand with a little canopy) with me.
You may see the sign in my yard showing support for one candidate. You may hear me talk about who I like or who I don't. You may hear who I think will lower taxes, protect our country, make sure my children have a country worth having but you'll never know for sure who I voted for BUT what really matters is whether YOU choose to vote. Will you take the time to exercise your right to vote? (Why do we say exerciese? Why don't we say "take the time to ENJOY your right to vote?"
Just in case you don't know when and were to early vote, take a few minutes and FIND OUT! It will only affect you for the rest of your life, and your children's lives and your grandchildren..... (more...)

Luckiest Mom in all of College Station - Maybe the World.
October 12th, 2008 categories: Kids, Family & Personal Stuff, Schools
Tonight I was asked to drive my daughter and her friends for Homecoming. No, they didn't have dates and Yes I said YES!!!
Rather than just drive... I dressed in all black, got a top hat and treated them like stars. I opened the doors for them, took pictures like paparazzi, served them non alcoholic sparling grape juice in plastic flutes and let them laugh and laugh and laugh.
I was so honored my daughter wanted me to be with her and her friends. I even overheard one of the girls saying how her mom would never do something like this - and then they asked if I would drive again for Prom even if they had dates....
It was GREAT helping making a high school memory one they will remember together! THEY are special & should be treated that way.
... and, the beautiful girl in black second from the left is MINE!
