Boo it's back to the car... and hurry before we get a ticket!!!




(a picture of Boo running to the car before we get ANOTHER ticket)

As if I needed another lesson about the dangers of procrastination... yes the village of East Hampton is now officially out of parking passes. So what does that mean??? Well, during the week I can either bike to the beach or walk... It's as horrible as it sounds! Not only that.... when I take my beloved Boo to the beach on Saturday mornings, we will have to get our act together and get out of the parking lot by 9 before those belligerent brownies give me another gorgeous orange little souvenir. OOOPS... I didn't meant to say belligerent.. in fact... I'm not even sure how to spell it. I meant BEAUTIFUL. Which rhymes with thoughtful.


Speaking of thoughtful Brownies... not those nasty ones who sell the fat laden Samoas and Tag Alongs... the ones that will soon be busted by the FDA because they lace them with some sort of addictive additive... but the ones that write the tickets. I give them credit for actually smiling and being so pleasant about their duties. The ones in Sag Harbor are especially wonderful. Oh those kids, They're the best! They keep our streets more orderly and safer and just make the Hamptons experience so much better. The one's in East Hampton... they're fabulous too! Ok, now will you guys rip them up? Hey, I have a box of Samoas you can have if you tear that puppy up?!?

A TALE AS OLD AS TIME.... BEAUTY AND THE BEAST!
(beauty above)
So a few friends of mine have actually been reading my blog .... and now I have to be more consistent. So forgive me right now... I'm not being very original but I'm writing about someone else's blog. LAME! I know.

Anyway, in real estate more and more people are beginning their searches on the web. Recent stats say that it's about 85% of home buyers begin their search on the web. One way, many brokers expose their properties to the public and other brokers is by putting them on MLS.COM. (multiple listing service) Now... On to my point. So with the simple fact that these photographs are viewed by so many... you would think that brokers would at least choose their photos wisely OR as I do... HIRE A PROFESSIONAL TO TAKE THE PICTURE. Well guess what there are a lot of lazy agents out there and that laziness has inspired a Connecticut agent to start a web site ( http://www.reagentinct.com/blog/) of BAD MLS PICTURES. The web site has caught on agents from all over the country have been sending in some really really bad pictures. Anyway, check out the blog above and here are a few of my personal favorites. GAIL I HOPE YOU LIKE THIS ONE!

This one was titled... that sinking feeling! I'm the king of the world! My heart will go on.. but the glass will be falling off the table!


Next on the hit parade... GIANT HEAD! "Mom, I'm' afraid!!! There's a giant head floating in the backyard... it might eat me!!"
Ok.... I know everyone likes having their picture taken... But is this really flattering to ANYONE?!
Finally..... THIS PICTURE NEEDS NO CAPTION!!!
