SLEEPLESS IN REAL ESTATE!

I can’t believe it’s July already! I have been extremely busy …. getting about 6 hours of sleep a day …. and LOVING IT!!

The other day, I came down to get a cup of coffee, half asleep, I looked over and said “Good Morning” to our 2 Cockatiels, Chico and Cha-Cha. Although, this morning I thought I saw 3 birds and said to myself, I’d better start getting more sleep soon since I’m now starting to see things!

I had my coffee, watched “Good Morning America”, updated my Tweets on “Twitter” - which is people from all over, lots Realtors who share lots of informative info about the market, new technology and lots of personal stories in the business along with much needed support and networking.

After doing some work, I started to make my way back upstairs and once again, I noticed 3 birds!! I stood there …. blinked …. still 3 birds instead of 2!

I decided to open the cage door to see if it, the 3rd bird, would move. It sure did - it tried biting me! I quickly called my husband to see if he had any idea why we had an extra bird. He laughed, HA! HA! – NOT funny I thought.

He explained that after working a double shift last night, he brought her home while I was in the shower. Not having much sleep himself, he completely forgot to tell me and left again early in the morning – “SURPRISE” – he said!

Her name is Fufita and she still tries to bite me, but Chico and Cha-Cha love her! AND I’m still not getting enough sleep… and LOVING IT!!

Many THANKS to GOOGLE IMAGERY for some of these photos!

GETTING TO KNOW ME

As a full time REALTOR in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess counties in NEW YORK – and Fairfield and parts of Litchfield counties in CONNECTICUT , I am very pleased to have the opportunity to share my passions on REAL ESTATE, FAMILY, PETS, anything and everything in and around a HOME – including COOKING, MOVIES, MUSIC and more!

I have been married for 25+ years to my wonderful husband Joe. We have 5 children – Melissa, David, Amanda, Sara and Jonathan. After waiting anxiously – for almost 17 years, being home with my kids for 10 and a Nursery school teacher for 7 years – I FINALLY became a Licensed Realtor – first in Connecticut - where my family and I live – and then in New York – where my office, Century 21 V.J.F. Realty is located.

I was born and raised in Mt. Vernon, New York. My parents, who came to the US from Portugal, were extremely hard working – with even stronger ethics on being good to everyone – everywhere – period! “Faz bem, nao olhes a quem.” This has been instilled in me all my life, which has made me the mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend and the REALTOR I am today. Thank You Ma and Papa.
