#ACUPWITHJO with Jordan Schilleci

Good Morning Y'all,

Yesterday was such an amazing day. I am sitting here writing this, and have yet to turn the microphone on. I am not sure I will be recording my segments today. I am pretty damn exciting about yesterday. As you know, I attended HAR Engage here in Houston, TX (the metropolis I live outside of). Bob Hale is our current president of HAR.

As President and CEO of the Houston Association of REALTORS® since 1988, Bob’s vision and drive have made HAR.com a household brand in the greater Houston area and the most frequently visited website for Houston real estate. HAR has grown to become the largest trade association in Houston and the second largest local REALTOR® association in the country with more than 36,000 members. The website recently expanded to cover the entire state of Texas, which provides even more exposure for member listings.

What I have to say about Bob Hale is that dude has #CLOUT! He and the many other faces behind HAR Engage, Lori Carper and Christ Borden, to acknowledge a couple, managed to get us some amazing speakers and a wonderful Q&A panel.

I think today's #5AMDESK podcast is going to be just talking about the event, what I got out of it, who spoke, and what they spoke about. This will work out well, because it is raining outside, and my #MOMLIFE duties will start earlier today, plus, I slept well for 5 hours, then couldn't sleep for 3, yes THREE, hours, before finally get a couple hours of fragmented sleep, so needless to say, I rather not spend all morning on my podcast.. I got places to be today.. Today I will do #YTT, #TODAYSGOALS, #RECENTPURCHASE, #WHATIAMREADING, and leave out the Let's Talk Real Estate and Q&A segments of the show.

To the shoooooow notes..

Also got to listen to and meet :: Glenn Kelman, Eric Wu, and Curt Beardsley. While they were super informative, I tried to have a conversation with one of them afterwards about something they seemed really passionate about, and I just left the conversation unsure of what he meant exactly. I did a little research about what he was complaining about, and noticed, that he is worst than the company he complained about. It was a little odd.

#SHOWNOTES

Yesterday I had a wonderful opportunity to listen to "iBuyers: The Value of Convenience?" at the October 19th, 2017 HAR Engage event put on by the Houston Association of Realtors where Bob Hale interviewed Glenn Kelman of Redfin, Eric Wu of Opendoor, and Curt Beardsley of Zillow.

I came away with a lot of new knowledge and hopefully you do too.

Good Morning Y'all, (It is the 19th.. I think I said the date wrong. Lol.)

 

Oh my gosh! It is today. I get to attend my second HAR Engage in just an hour! A whole bunch of super cool people are going to be there, including: Katie Lance, Glenn Kelman, Eric Wu, and Curt Beardsley. Think Redfin, Zillow, and OpenDoor! Well I better hurry up, so I have enough time to fight traffic and be on time!

And sorry about my funny freakout about it being our anniversary on the 21st, and I haven't planned anything for it. Love me anyways honey? Lol.

MY LIFE

#YTT [Only got one interview in. Made it to my lunch date with the husband. We had veggie burgers. Imagine that. Did a little shopping. Got some new dinosaur decor for Lincoln's bedroom, as well as a bulletin board for my office space. Then we came home. I worked a little. He picked up kids. Then he got called to work. Boo. I didn't feel up to making dinner, so half of us had pizza and the other half had sandwiches. Then we cleaned and did tons of homework. Cameron has a project due 10/26, and she turned in her last project late, so I am making her turn this one in really early. She only has one part left. Scarlett also is working on a big-ish project. She is only in the first grade though. We have half of that left. We are also staying on top of this math stuff she has to do that I hate, and think is idiotic. But oh well. TODAY is HAR Engage! Tomorrow I have back to back meetings, so I hope my husband is home. OH, and he came home last night at 9 PM, but lost his wallet, so he headed back to the job site, but couldn't find his wallet. Sadly it is still lost. OH, and another thing. One of my clients officially put in a revised offer last night, and we should know something mid today!]

Good Morning Y'all,

I am really excited about today and tomorrow, but I am sorry if I don't sound like it. I woke up in the middle of the night in incredible eye pain. I was wearing contacts and my right eye just hurt the worst ever. I removed my contact, and found some eye drops. When I placed the eye drops in my eye, it felt like I had put acid in my eye; of course, I have no idea what that truly feels like, but you get the picture.

So yes, I tried to sleep in, but overall I just don't feel well. Today is going to be a damp hair, no makeup, you lucky I am showing up in public, kind of day. Lol. Wish me luck..

 

And to the shooooow notes..

Good Morning My Lovely Friends!

Yesterday was a ball of fun. We headed to the store, bought a new backpack cooler, and loaded it up with sandwiches for the kids. We grabbed some tuna and soup for ourselves, as well as snacks galore for the kids. We grabbed the bike trailer that doubles as an oversized stroller with a "trunk" like space in the back, and that made its way into the vehicle.

We didn't have too much traffic driving down to the zoo, but oh my gosh, the way home was a carsick nightmare, and I think we left before traffic should have really been a deal. But all-in-all, we had a super fun day. It was Lincoln's first visit to the zoo, and he loved it! All the kids slept on the way home, and dinner was leftover sandwiches for them (super easy), and delicious homemade mushroom sweet potato quinoa for us! We depressingly watched some of the Astros game, and Sunday was a super successful Family Day! Oh and we bike rode to the post office. That was fun!

To the shooooow notes..
