New Hampshire and Maine Homes and Condos

Have you ever heard of a “meme"? If not, you’re likely not alone, and if you
have, well then you know the fun these can be to read. It’s the internet’s
version of helping readers to get to know a little more about the person who was
“memed", and this time around, thanks to Mariana Wagner of Colorado Springs Real
Estate and Laurie Manny of
Long Beach Real Estate, I was ‘memed’. Dare I say ‘thank you
Mariana’and Laurie?!? ;-)

There
are two me-s in meme because it’s all about me. Meme’s are the perfect way to
let other bloggers know about you, let your audience know about you and get to
know and relate to other bloggers, expand your network and watch your sphere of
influence expand outwards. If you ever posed the question to yourself, “how many
degrees are between me and Kevin Bacon?” this is the way to find out.

I am asking 8 questions because when tipped over the number 8 is the
infinity symbol and that is totally geeky and 8 is my favorite number and it is
2008. Oh, how the stars have aligned!

OK - here are the eight questions, along with my answers:

1) Who is your favorite musical artist? (post a youtube
video)

Gosh, I have a wide and varied taste in music! I love Island and Reggae
music, classical music is very soothing to me, I love the oldies - 60′ and 70’s,
I love the music the Celtic Woman sing. I like Celine Dion, UB40, Cat
Stevens, The Who, oh I could go on and on….but I won’t! ;-)

This is a video of the Celtic Woman, and one of my favorite songs they do -
“Sail Away". They have the most exquisite voices - I could listen to them for
hours.

2) Who is your favorite artist (post a flicker photo)

My favorite artist is Thomas
Kinkade, before all the commercial trinkety stuff. I have several
of his oil paintings, and I just love them - they change with the light of the
day. I also love Wallace Nutting hand-tinted prints, and some
of his apprentices - Davidson, Sawyer,
Thompson.

3. Who is your favorite blogger?

This is a tough one for me, as I now read so many. I love reading RSS Pieces - Mary McKnight’s blog because I continually learn
from her writings. I absolutely LOVE reading Miamism! Ines writes with such a great sense of humor and you
can find all kinds of fun stuff mixed in with terrific real estate
information. If you haven’t read Miamism, go check it out! Mixed Media Marketing has some really cool blogging material
in his posts - love the tips he shares.

4. If you could meet anyone (alive or dead), who would it be and what
is the most interesting thing about them?

I think it would be fun to meet Diane Sawyer. I think she has about the
coolest job going, and she seems like she’d really be quite down-to-earth.

5. What did you want to be when you grew up?

When I was really young, in elementary school, I wanted to be a teacher. Not
to teach mind you, but because the teachers in my school always got extra rolls
and bigger desserts at lunchtime. Yep, that’s the real truth. My mom used to
think that was the funniest thing. After I got over that, I used to want to own
my own clothing store. My grandmother owned a beautiful clothing store and
every time we’d go visit her in Florida, I couldn’t wait to go to her store and
work.

6. What is the most interesting piece of trivia you
know?

– The date New Hampshire’s beloved Old Man in the Mountains
slid away - May 3, 2003.
– My own family trivia - I am the 7th generation of
my family born in the same little town - Clermont Florida.
–
“America’s Smallest Coastline” - where is it? New
Hampshire, and it’s only 17 miles long.

7. If you could live in any point in history what would it be and
why?

I kinda like the here and now - much better time for women, so much change
going on and it’s all history in the making. And I get to do what I do for a
living - women weren’t always able to be as self-sufficient as we are now and
able to make our own way in the world. It’s scary at times, but what fun it can
be, too!

8. What is the most interesting job you have ever held?

I’ve only had a few jobs in my life so far, and the best and most interesting
is the one I have now - real estate broker. I LOVE what I do, no two days are
the same, no two sales are the same, and I get to help people all the time.
Sure, we feel the heat at times, but for the most part, selling real estate is
an awesome job! The stories all of us in real estate could tell…… we could
write all kinds of books on our daily experiences. Human behavior is quite
entertaining, for sure!
