The shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School is devastating – 20 small children are dead. I can’t imagine how horrible it must be to a parent who lost their child this way. There are just so many mentally sick people in the world.
Friday, December 14th, 2012Chase Refinance from Hell Part III
Over the past week, I have spoken with more Chase employees than I care to speak with in a lifetime. IMHO, most seem to have chosen the wrong career in life. I’ve spoken to several SVPs and you would think that someone who is experienced in banking would easily know what to do if a […]
Wednesday, December 12th, 2012Christmas has Started Round Here
We visited the most amazing looking Santa tonight. He wore an old world Santa suit and he really made you feel like he might be Santa. The kids weren’t afraid (at all!) and they walked over to talk with him easily. And my old friend and I sat down for a cup of Joe and […]
Tuesday, December 11th, 2012Chase Refinance from Hell Update 2
Hey this is Queenie’s friend Mike and she asked me to do the update for her as she is out handling her kingdom. (Yup she is decorating the house for Santa). She really appreciates your comments and e-mails. After posting her story online, she received 56 e-mails from you guys about how to progress with […]
Monday, December 10th, 2012Top Five Gifts for Guys Who Like Tools
Gifts for men in your life really depend on what type of guy they are. Now Lee is a tool and technology guy. He loves gadgets. If you gave a gadget to a person like my Dad was, then it wouldn’t be used or appreciated (those men like DVDs and chocolate covered pretzals). These gifts […]
Sunday, December 9th, 2012Solar Powered Christmas!
I bought solar Christmas lights this year. You are probably thinking, “Wow Queenie is really into conservation and preserving the earth.” Nope, I’m sorry to say that isn’t me. I’m actually not that good at recycling and conservation. But thankfully Lee is. He is the Recycling and Conservation King. So I bought him several solar Christmas […]
Saturday, December 8th, 2012Guys and Headbands
My friend complained to us about her boyfriend’s headgear of choice. She said, “I feel like I am walking around with Jane Fonda because he is sporting this winter headband.” We instantly started laughing and couldn’t stop for a long time. Her man is wearing this: And although you may think you look cute […]
Saturday, December 8th, 2012Love that Taylor Swift Beat-Boxes
I’ve been a fan of beat boxing since I saw Blake Lewis on American Idol five years ago. Taylor Swift was beat boxing at the Grammys. Critics said she was embarrassed and they came down on Swift for her performance. But I loved it. I love to see someone move out of their element and […]
Monday, December 3rd, 2012Chase and the Refinance from Hell Part 3
Leon does not get angry….like ever. Seriously if you know Leon, you know he doesn’t take anyone or anything to seriously so nothing bothers him. EVER. Today we got a GFE. A GFE is a Good Faith Estimate. It was quite different from the first. It’s not that I memorized the numbers……BUT I DID. Not […]

Linking up with Farley
Saturday, December 1st, 2012Robert Tornatore – Chase Fail
So Chase bankers still haven’t decided if our home is a one or two family. The city register says it is a two family, but the appraisal the bank did three years ago when I purchased the home says it is a one. At closing, Leon and I saw the words TWO FAMILY HOME on […]
Saturday, December 1st, 2012Friends and Staircases
Our friend came over for breakfast and to help Leon get the day set up. His kids and wife are coming over later. When he walked in he, commented about Leon’s molding work. When he went downstairs, he said we have the best looking staircases because he liked the stripes on the rug. 8D I […]
