Random Thoughts


Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger left California in far worse shape than when he first took office.  Why no one is saying anything about this is beyond me.  Jerk went back  to making films and his wife went back to him.  Go figure.

Many of the former realtors, loan officers, title and escrow people that I knew are either unemployed or working elsewhere.   According to one of my realtor friends, it will be another two to five years before things turn around.  In the meantime, if it was not for the HARP II program initiated by President Obama, many would not have been eligible to refinance to these low interest rates and stay in their homes.  I don't see Mitt Romney coming up with any ideas to help folks stay in their homes.

Stay away from Arizona!  So many are being pulled over and asked to show their papers that they actually were born in this country.  I have no desire to ever do business with or go to Arizona.  It's a shame because I always wanted to see Sedona.  But I refuse to spend one dime there until the political climate is better.  So take that, Governor Jan Brewer and your lacky, Sheriff Joe Arpaio. 

Why do women volunteer so much?  One of my heroines, Suzy Orman said that women do not value themselves enough.  Women volunteer more than men.  We should ask for pay for our time!  It is bad enough that women are not paid as much as men and we constantly bake the cookies, take care of the kiddies.  We carpool, we volunteer at school, church, libraries.  We do not ask for payment in return.  We do not save as we should.  We do not put enough away for retirement.  We need to be more savvy when it comes to finances. 

Eat more veggies and eat less meat.  To those of you who read a previous post on the documentary, Forks Over Knives, you will be pleased to learn that not only did I lose weight, my cholesterol dropped over 100 points.  And you can have delicious food, fruits and drinks and still look fabulous.

To those readers who have just joined me, thank you for reading.  Don't forget to join as a regular reader and I promise next time to have more Hollywood news.  Hollywood tomorrow!
