My Life as a Realtor – Day 98

My Life as a Realtor ~

Day 98:

It’s a cool, rainy Tuesday. Went into the office and accomplished a few errands – including a trip to A & P in Brewster…

and a trip to buy some wine – looked into Sardinian wine - I’ve heard is dark, rich and has the highest levels of antioxidants.

Then back to juggle work and home life.

My Life as a Realtor – Day 97

My Life as a Realtor ~

Day 97:

Monday – looks like rain – Ugh!

Home today – working, cleaning, cooking, … I feel as though that is all I do – and you know what? I Love it!

Joe stopped at his mom and dads in Mt. Vernon, NY. His mom has a brick oven that she bakes bread in - Yumo! Too bad I have developed food allergies to wheat and corn – so no more homemade bread for me :-(

Joe’s dad had gone apple picking and sent us a bunch of delicious apples – I plan on making caramel apples for our Halloween Party at my brother’s house on Saturday.

And that brings up the problem of Halloween. It is in just a few days and I don’t have a costume! I am trying to do this on a budget – so I will probably just use something we have at home – I could be a Witch, Cat, Tiger – hey, we have a Batman and Pirate costume! Oh, and… we have a Jason mask from the movie “Friday the 13th”. Man, I still get creeped out when I watch that movie – and Michael Meyers in the movie “Halloween” . No other movies scare me more than these two. It may be because when I first watched them, I was young and they scared the heck out of me. Even as a mother of 5 and being 44 years old – watching these horror flicks brings those frightful memories, which come rushing back and make me feel like a scared child again. Maybe I need therapy?

Watch below… if you dare!

Oh my!

Really, the sounds and music in both of these movies send chills up my spine!

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.
