BalletMet – Twitter  Contest

I am willing to share this with you even though it will decrease my chances of winning tickets  to BalletMets’s Midsummer Nights Dream… for Valentines Day 2010.

BalletMet – Twitter Contest

You tweet your worst Valentines Day. #BadVday   BalletMet

If you are on Twitter you can compete against me and anyone else for the worst Valentines Day ever.   Be sure to read the directions (in the link above.)   Basically you tweet your worst Valentines Day ever…  It started on February 1, 2010 and ends February 10, 2010, so we only have three days left… including today.    Creative writing time?  Or do you have a real bad Valentines Day you could recount in 140 characters, remember “be sure to include a reply to @BalletMet and the hashtag #BadVday.”

My bad Valentines Day?  I had to go back to unrequited love and a poorly decorated Valentines Day Box in 6th grade… Wonder if you just  tweet the same thing… or if some people in Columbus are using  I have to believe I am blocking something traumatic or at least bad  from  7th grade through 11th grade.   Or as an adult?  Maybe I will try some creative writing.

Today is the beginning of home buying season.  Super Bowl or the end of the professional football season is the kick off the home buying seaon according to a 2005 article in CNN.Money. com written by Sarah Max, CNN/Money senior writer:   Kick off! Game plan for home buyers

Columbus Ohio native, Harley Rouda Jr. was quoted in 2005:

“First and foremost you want to get pre-approved by a lender,” said Harley Rouda Jr., CEO of Real Living, one of the largest real estate firms in the Midwest, explaining that in markets where sellers get multiple bids, it’s critical to line up your financing before you make an offer.

That was  back in a sellers market right?  Yet it is probably more important for buyers to be pre-approved in 2010.  Could you get in a multiple offer situation today?  You betcha!
