I don't know if I would go so far as to call myself the top short sale agent in Sacramento, but then I don't have to because the Sacramento Press said it for me. OK, I'm laughing a little over this because I never claimed that title in our interview but I must haven given that impression to the r

The temperature in Sacramento hit 108 on June 28th, the hottest it's ever been on that day (my birthday) since Sacramento record-keeping began in 1900. Now, for those of you who have never had the pleasure of visiting Sacramento, a temperature of 108 might seem abnormally high, but it's really n

I love going to rock concerts. Except for the part where I fall asleep at 10 PM because it's past my bedtime. So, sometimes my husband rents a music DVD. We close up the windows and crank up the surround sound. The cats don't like it much, though. But it gives us front row VIP seats to the band w

Now, I know what you're thinking: Oh, she just made up that blog title about a Sacramento short sale agent making a porno to attract attention, right? Well, yes and no. See, my husband and I watched that 2008 movie "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" last night. If you haven't seen it that delightful fi
