Bonita Springs Real Estate | Bonita Springs Lifestyle Report

Gator BaitIn case you missed it, here's a recap of what happened in Sunny Bonita Springs, Florida this week:

 

 

  1. Marine Life In Bonita Springs, Florida
  2. Tijuana Flats - Bonita Springs Restaurant
  3. Foreclosure and Rental Scams in Bonita Springs
  4. Estero High School Boosters - Support Team Sports
  5. How Wordle.net Sees My Bonita Springs Real Estate Blog
  6. Lover’s Key Beach Voted One of Florida’s Best Beaches
  7. Price Remains King in Bonita Springs Real Estate
  8. The Rio Maggiore Floor Plan| Rapallo at Coconut Point
  9. My Secret is Out
  10. Are There Any Peacocks in Bonita Springs, Florida?

 

None of this made the mainstream news, of course.  There simply isn't enough room in the paper orspare air time, what with all the reporting of the guy that got arrested for stealing $.42 (yes, cents) from a fountain.  That's how we roll down here.  That guy is lucky they didn't pop a cap in his arse.  Po po is serious in SW Florida.

Eat, Drink & Be Merry - On Us

SparksSo would it kill you to write a restaurant review?  Not likely.  In an effort to not bore my readers into a coma I occasionally write about things that aren't so real estate related.

Last week I ran into a restaurant for a quick bite and tooks some pictures.  You can read the story here:

Tijuana Flats - Bonita Springs Restaurant

A few days later I receive an email from a marketing director for a restaurant that is just about to open.  He sent an invitation to training night for 1/2 price grub.  I asked if I could blog about it and he sent another email and gave me a reservation for the grand opening day for dinner for me and a guest. 

Pretty smart guy.  Not that I'm *that* brilliant of a blogger but he is one of those youngsters that understands the way the web works, feed readers work, email subscriptions work and maybe even that there twitter thingy everyone's always talking about.  My guess is he knows tossing me grub will get a blog post email to a couple hundred subscribed readers.  Pretty low overhead, don't you think?

You're looking at Feedblitz in a whole new way, now, aren't you?

Stay tuned, August 4th I'm going to a restaurant to review it.  The post will be up the next day.  You can always subscribe to my blog so you get it emailed to you. :)

Ugly Things Happen When REALTORS Go To Work

Someone got a little bored in the garage today.  It turns out that a houseguest closed the garage door with the dog on the wrong side of it.  I had an early morning meeting at Keller Williams and wasn’t home to notice that 7 lbs. of attitude went missing.  Al eventually noticed it was a little too quiet around the house and found him.

 

It seems that Little brown dog didn’t take lightly to his “wrong side of the door” predicament and began a reign of terror on inanimate objects that included plastic bags, boxes of receipts, cardboard, paper and a bag of durabond drywall compound in powdered form.  The dog basically antiqued himself.

I am not ashamed of what I have done….at all.

dog

No one will notice this, I am sure.

dog

or this…

dog

or my white head.

dog

I am exhausted from my reign of terror and will cop a squat….right here.  Right next to the real estate files my mom doesn’t know that I shredded.

dog

I did the crime and now I will do the time.

 

 

50 Ways

There are 50 ways to do alot of things. Here's 50 ways to use social media

 

There must be 50 ways to leave your lover, so said Paul Simon. There are probably just as many ways to do a real estate market report, too. Here’s how I do my monthly Bonita Springs real estate market reports: If you live in a single family home in Bonita Springs you can look up single family home absorption rates. Naturally, real estate is hyper local so if you’re just dying to know or it is important to know just for your specific neighborhood or gated community, just email and ask for a brand new, July 2008, no obligation, absorption rate.  Continue reading.

Sunday's Child is Full of Grace

Snail

OK, so they all laughed at me for taking a picture of a snail a the garden party. I wasn’t taking a picture of the snail, I was taking a pictue of its shadow. So there.

 

And now that you’re wondering about the rest of the poem and trying to figure out what day of the week you were born on:

Monday’s child is fair of face.
Tuesday’s child is full of grace.
Wednesday’s child is full of woe.
Thursday’s child has far to go.
Friday’s child is loving and giving.
Saturday’s child works hard for a living,
But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day
Is bonny and blithe and good and gay.

 

What day of the week do you think I was born on?
