Hayward Improvements - Please Improve My Property Value

I am definitely a newbie in terms of all things real estate. Over 7 years ago, I was offered and took advantage of a restaurant regular to pay and train me to work in his mortgage lending firm. I did not finish the CD training, therefore I did not work in his firm. I did not do much in terms of purchasing our home as DB worked closely with his mother, a seasoned and reputable Real Estate Agent, in PA. But since I have a condo and a new home in another East Bay town, I better start paying attention to the real estate market and the city in which they reside. As we rushed to get a renter in our condo back in December and moved out the following month, deconstruction of the Centennial Hall began and continues... When people asked me whereabouts in Hayward that I lived, I replied "Near Centennial Hall" and they knew exactly where it was. I remember seeing the marquee having Hawaiian Tropic contests there, gun shows, autograph memorabilia shows, proms and I even went to a ...

P90X Progress

Image
I am loving P90X. I don’t want to pay for a gym membership anymore. I can do it in my own home. I’m not self-conscious while doing/attempting moves, although blinds are closed during this session. I don’t have to drive home in order to have my ProXtreme shake. I am not following the program exactly but am keeping up with the CDs. I missed one day of working out as I had family coming over for dinner and I don’t have a pull up bar so I’m missing out on those. I do have bands but I broke one two times last night when I was using it on my staircase railing. I’m trying! My friend, Laura, is a fitness model and gave me some recommendations on where to find one for cheap. My dad has the perfect pull-up bar and he could do a couple. I tried using a friends while we were in New Mexico last year and I unfortunately proved DB wrong when he said “Bernadette sure can do one.” Nope, I couldn’t. I definitely want to change that. After my bands broke, I wanted to keep moving and use my...

Quick Announcements / Invites

Engagement announcement / housewarming & engagement party invites will be going out soon. I will be picking up prints this evening on my way home from work, the list has been compiled. I just need to print out an insert and outgoing mailing labels and stuff them. And of course the cost of stamps. I didn’t put too much time and effort into these as I was running out of time, but I have been a user of Kodak Gallery for a very long time and have used them to order prints and photo gifts. I didn’t want to spend remotely close to a dollar per card and Kodak Gallery put my mind and pocket book at ease. AND, I was able to save on shipping and get my order of 140 copies in one day. That’s great! I do have to pick it up but I chose to pick them up at a Target on my way home. I can’t wait to see and feel the final product in my hands tonight. Thanks again to Brentwood’s own, David of Beacon Fotography for the engagement photos! DB and I had our first real discussion about the party...

Craigslist / Safety / Lesson Learned

Image
Who’s a user of Craisglist? You can find anything there: Event listings, sporting event and concert tickets, an old lamp, puppies up for adoption and even jobs. I have found 90% of my Event Planning gigs through Craigslist. I have even met photographers and was extras in films and music videos back in my modeling days with no problems. Earlier this week, I had an uncomfortable experience with a person seeking event planning services through a brief Craigslist posting. I replied, an email exchange occurred and a meeting was set up for Valentine’s Day in an office in Oakland. I emailed my fiancé the person’s contact information, when and where was my meeting just in case he cannot get a hold of me. You never know about meeting new people off the World Wide Web. I arrived in the parking lot and texted my fiancé to let him know I arrived safely. The suite number or company that it occupied was NOT on the directory. Strange. The suite was in the middle of a long hallway, though well...

LLB Publicity Shot - Thanks, Google Alert - 2011 Tour, WHAT?!

Image
Oh, Google , you're taking over the world, aren't you? Besides this Google Alert posting I received a few minutes ago about the Los Lonely Boys show in Madison, WI on April 12th, I heard over the 740AM dial this morning that you may be bringing us the lowest in airfares... Well, thank you for the alert and letting me check out that cool picture above for the first time... i think it's my first time. Cool rides, Guys. This Californian won't be able to make this show but thought I'd throw out the link and info anyways. Perhaps my favorite Bad Girl from Milwaukee, WI or my Chicago Foodie and Spring Break partner will check it out. (Marineau - remember 'Madison' was your alias during that trip to The Bahamas? Ah, good times.) After all, I do talk about these boys a lot. What's up with all the fuss? Go see 'em! AND HOLD THE PHONE! Where are my California tour dates? The 2011 tour dates have been released and there is not a single California dat...
