Well this weekend was a pretty calm one, Friday night we stayed home and were in bed by 10pm! Saturday Jon worked on his side project (which will be done tomorrow) and Trevor and I played outside and then took a nap and when Jon got home we all headed to the Zoo. Sunday we just relaxed and then went to a birthday party....which I will share pictures of tomorrow.

Most people always think few certain things will ever happen to them. For example our accounts payable lady at work has been summons THREE times to appear in court as a juror. To me that is crazy but I guess some people have luck of the draw, the reason I say this is because that same lady also won $50,000 last year on a powerball ticket for matching all the numbers except the powerball and then she also power played in and the number was 5 so you take $10,000 times 5 = $50,000.
The moral of my story is that last night when I got home I opened up the mailbox and found something I did not ever think that I would find......a Juror Summons to ME!!! They sent me a form to fill out and asked me a million questions and said once I filled this sheet out and sent it back in they would let me know if I was the one that they had chosen. EVERYONE better cross there fingers and hope that I am one that does not get picked. I do not mean this in a bad way because yes I am a registered voter it is just that IF I get called it will be from 10/1/07 - 12/31/07 if the trial lasts that long. And also some of the cases around here are disturbing, like a babysitter who hurts little kids or a young boy who seriously hurt his mom. I do not want to be the one to decide what should happen to that person in the next month or year. Do you know what I mean??
Alright so the last three days I have been at a coffee training for managers. A rep from Java City came to SDSU along with manager's from other accounts and we were all filled in on how to do thing's for the fall and how some things would be different. (Since we all run Java Cities) I do not know that much about coffee but I did learn a few things that I always thought were true but I have come to find out that they are just myth busters. So for some common knowledge here we go:
Myth Buster #1: The darker the coffee the less caffeine it has in it. I had always heard that it was the other way around. If someone is tired generally they say give me the darkest cup of coffee that you make, thinking that it is loaded with caffeine but come to find out that is not the case!
Myth Buster #2: Never store coffee in a fridge or freezer because it loses its flavor quickly and becomes stale because of the temperature change. Now this I know that I have heard from more then one person, well I guess they were wrong!
Information Tidbit: Brazil is the largest producer of coffee in the world! They produce 38 million bags of coffee a year on 230,000 farms.....holy smokes that is a lot of coffee!!
I hope all of this was informative!
Well my brother listed his house 5 months ago with Century 21 and houses in his price range take longer to sell because the buyer is very picky and a lot of people could build a house for this price. Anyways in those 5 months the realtor that he had was awful! He did not do anything for marketing such as only posting 7 pictures on-line instead of 40 or more (this is the way it should be done, I used to work at Best Choice and I was told the more pictures the better because then people looking at homes on-line got a better feel for the home and could decided yes I would like to look at it in person or no this home would not suit me and I will not waste my agents time to look at the home in person) and in those 5 months he only had 2 open houses and there should of been at least 5 (one per month). So as time went on nothing got done so Greg's contract was up with them and I talked him into switching to the BEST which is Best Choice Real Estate (the one I used to work for). So his house is getting a fresh new start with a different price, tons of pictures that are going to be put on the website on Friday and a virtual tour!! I talked him into listing it with the agent we are working with so I helped her take the photos and get information on the house it was fun and it made me realize how much I missed my old job. Check out his home with a fresh new start on Friday at http://www.brookingshomes.com/ and let me know what you think. (1834 Ranger Circle) I just love real estate it is so exciting and there are soo many cool houses in Brookings!!
