Congratulations.
We should set up a group for recovering control freaks. You should see me when I can’t get an Internet connection – it’s actually frightening!

So funny. I NEVER would have expected to hear that you are a control freak – at work or otherwise. (BTW – I trained for years and still freaked out when I started a new training session too.) Maybe I need dogs too. 🙂

Thank you for the kind words. I really enjoyed writing the post.

I did lost the entire post. I was so disheartened that after I got everything sorted out (well, my husband was kind enough to doit for me), I couldn’t bear to start all over again. Instead I wrote a rather silly post about avoiding real estate porn. I guess I needed the laugh. 🙂

You’re right, Mel. It is funny. I fell off my chair to read that you saw me as the opposite of a control freak.

In truth, I try very hard to chill out because it’s so important to me. But I’m a basket case at work. They once had to stage an intervention to get me to stop working 60+ hour weeks without pay. And although I’ve taught hundreds of first time home buyers over the past 7 years, I panic at the start of every new class.

I am a total control freak. And that’s why I need dogs.

BTW, thank you for the kind words about being the kind of person you’d trust with your dogs. That is such a great compliment. 🙂

My friends who are a little older than me say that as they get older they care less and less about unimportant things. I hope live til 100 so I can enjoy it myself.

I’m glad you each refer to your dogs in your comments so I can keep track of who is who.

So Luna’s not a swimmer either? Who knew there were so many “wading” retrievers?

From reading your latest post, it sounds like JF is trying to help keep the dog hair down by swallowing his share.

I’m afraid the trip is definitely off. My husband has to cover the shop both Friday and Monday and it’s just too far (and exhausting) a trip to make in two days.

And I had two real estate closings anyway so it wasn’t like I was truly free either. I guess we’ll have to buy a boat out of a catalog. 🙂

Just kidding.

Thanks, Jodi. I’m thrilled to be able to increase my gift to the shelter.

There’s nothing like working with children to help you realize you can’t control everything. That’s why W.C. Fields hated working with children and dogs. 🙂
