Today's post was supposed to be another one of those statistics things with boring facts and figures about St. Paul until I opened the welcome screen on Typepad (scroll down to the middle of the screen) and found my funny face staring back at me!
I knew it was coming. They asked permission. I thought they randomly chose blogs to feature by pulling the blog names from a hat. That obviously is not the case this time, because the person who featured Real Estate Snippets actually went into its archives and READ it! They actually READ it! The highest praise of all is that they READ it!
I feel like a chicken who's just laid a nest of eggs!
I feel like everyone is watching me!
I'm bowled over and humbled and thrilled and doing a jig! And like always in a REALTOR'sĀ® life, it comes on a day when I'm busy as can be! So for now, here's a high five to share with me!
Thanks for the honor, Typepad!
Thanks, Leanne. Most of the time I'm writing about things that interest me. It makes the writing more fun. I never thought about generating business from my blog when I started. Nor did I think people would see me as an example. That's a scary thought!

Bonnie, I meant to leave this note on the day you were featured on Typepad but got sidetracked...
I always thought your blog serves as a great example to others and am glad you've gotten the kudos you have since starting it, this latest one included. All have been well-deserved. Congratulations!

Welcome, John. I can't find a next page arrow at the bottom of my pages. There is one at the top and that is provided in the template. Sorry I can't be of more help, but thanks for stopping by anyway.
Teri, thanks are especially appreciated from those who share the same metropolitan area.
JB must be Jillian from Whitestone. Welcome to the cold Northland and thanks for the congrats.

Bonnie-
Congrats on the Typepad mention. They are right- you have a great looking blog!!!
I too use typepad for my blog and have been very happy with it. One question for you. Is there something special you do to get the next page arrow at the bottom of your pages?
Anyways...
Keep up the terrific work!!!

Thanks, Maureen and Carole. I guess I just keep writing and don't think about the eyes in the wall!
