The Burger Cookoff --

(or) Things that might push you over the edge..

 
Wow.. it's a busy fall and we're only a week into it.
 

 
 
Last week was full .. you know how it goes.. a trip with Mom and Dad,
 
there's the kids, the hubby,
 
dare I say several things going on at work,
 
can't forget (even tho I almost did) PTO stuff, 
 
the constantly chirping cell phone,
 
some necessary "connect" time with friends :),
 
a couple big events our office was involved in,
 
and (da da da dAAAA...) the BURGER COOKOFF -- United Way fundraiser that our entire Real Estate community and affiliates work on together.
 
Each company chooses a theme and all burgers and booths are judged...
 

 
"Imagine" a to-do list with 'Find George Harrison' at the top of it. 
 
Last week if you heard me say "I need more cowbell" -- I actually meant it -- I needed a bigger cowbell.  The one Paul Lockhart loaned me was too small.
 

 
Fortunately I was only involved in getting the Beatles together..  somebody else had the burger (which I thought was awesome...won second place), the booth (won first place!), and the go-go dancers... Wowza!
 
It is GOOD to be generous.. as I was reminded this morning.  It is good to be generous with your TIME as well as your other resources...
 
But right now.. with a good show on tv, Matt and I hanging out in the living room.. I'm wrapped in a blanket the girls left on the couch.. I'm feeling VERY grateful that no one needs me until 10am tomorrow..
 

 
 
(I can't resist one last picture.. incase you've ever wandered what the view was like for the Beatles..)

Now I need YOU to help ME find a house!

Today I got a call from a PRODUCER of an HGTV show...

(Wow.. that's fun to say...)

Have you seen "You Live in What?"

Well.. they want to find something HERE to showcase on that show! 

I asked her why Terre Haute.. she said they want to focus on the Midwest.. "Plus Terre Haute is know as..  known as.. " 

I'm just waiting b/c I have NO idea what she's gonna say..

"The CROSSROADS OF AMERICA!"
Dang Right!!


So.. anybody have an idea?  A crazy building that's been turned into a residence?  Just a downright odd place converted into a house?

The stipulations are:

1.  The family/owner has to have done the conversion themselves.

2.  They must currently live there.

3.  They must be willing to appear on camera.. or have their realtor appear on camera :) (Or maybe I can just sneak in there...)

4.  Be ready for a production crew to come in and work for atleast an entire day.

Let's do it!  I'll be asking around for ideas.. I have to get back to her by this Friday!
