Dream a little dream...

Well, seems like dreams are coming true.

Dream 1: Broncos beat the Steelers. Take that you super bowl stealing, screen passing, favorites! Ha, ha, ha. Um, it was awesome. If only the Patriots could have beaten the Colts. Ah well.

Dream 2: We finally, FINALLY bought a new mattress. Ah, the dreaming will be so much sweeter. We settled on what I think is just the most perfect mattress set ever! This may sound odd but we got a floor model for a store that closed and it was hardly ever tested. We bought what can only be described as a bed condom that protects the bed so we feel fine about it being a floor model. We saved 33% on $1800 which I thought was worth it.

Dream 3: There may be a 50% chance that I'll be successful in recruiting my dream assistant. She is very excited about my job offer but I know it will be hard for her to make the change. I'm giving it a 50% probability but what the heck

Dream 4: Out of the House! I have taken a large office at Real Estate Of The Rockies which will alleviate the space constraints should Dream 3 work out and it will also get my but out of the house. This should be a good thing.

Dream 5: I have found someone who may be interested in buying space with me in the future. It's another Realtor who has a very similar business philosophies as myself. Whee.

Dream 6: I took off 2 weekends in a row. WHOOO HOOO. It's been so much fun and just what I've needed to reconnect with the normalcy of non-work. It also is getting me motivated to start working harder.

Dream 7: I'm actually motivated to eat better! This is insane, I know. Mike and I have been munching on fruits instead of chocolate (okay, it really helps that we have eaten everything in the house) and we have been eating in more and cooking. On Saturday I cooked a beef tenderloin with bacon, shallots, and port sauce. Yummy! It was really good. At first when I got to the store I was like "holy @#$%^ they want me to spend how much on meat?". The recipe called for 6lb of tenderloin. In a fit of compromise I bought a 3lb tenderloin and a 3lb roast to compare if there really is a difference. Yeah, right, it was like night and day. MB: I have a much greater appreciation for the yummy dinner you made in Frisco. Thanks. Who the heck knew meat could cost that much?

Dream 8: This may sounds like a nightmare to some but I am ecstatic that my Dad is coming to stay with us for....6 weeks! Yeaaah! It made more sense for him to just stay through the entire holidays. He gets here in a week and I am very happy that he will be here.

    Wow - 6 weeks! Great job on buying the mattress. Totally worth it to get a good night's sleep.

    Yeah--that meat sure can break the bank but compared to eating out, it's still a bargain.
