Hi, I'm Margie Newman. I blog about public relations, social media, careers, productivity and geek stuff.

Not all publicity is good publicity (sigh)

Okay, I understand that this article wasn’t written to sell condos downtown. BUT it sure as heck won’t help. There simply won’t be a line to get into the Encore or Icon after reading how the market is rock bottom, demand for condos is back peddling and folks who have purchased have a serious case of buyers remorse.

Dave and I move into the Encore in 48 hours. I’ve no remorse. That surprises me, especially after all the crap we’ve been through. I’m downright giddy to be moving into my condo — no matter how much realestate reporters and professionals tell us we’re crazy for doing so.

I truely believe in the investment. I truely hate that everyone seems to take so much pleasure in betting on my investment’s failure. Oh well. Come see me in five years and we’ll talk … we’ll sip wine on one of our two balconies overlooking the brand new convention center while we watch folks file into the Sommet Center to cheer on our Stanley Cup winning Nashville Predators. Hey — a girl can dream.

It’s official – we’re actually moving this time!

I never thought I’d actually see the day when we’d be moving into the Encore, but now that it’s nearly time to move in I’m just thrilled. I can’t wait to sit on my balcony and sip wine (or Coors Light) with my hubby.

There will be tons of tourist gawkin. Lots of picture taking. Also, a tremendous amount of relief that it’s finally over!

I’m so grateful and can’t wait to host our first house guests in September.

New blog; day 2

Still getting the hang of WordPress. The basics seem so much more intuitive, yet I’m frustrated by my lack of technical savvy when it comes to the inner workings.

(sigh)

I’m sure it’s all just a matter of getting used to it.  So, I’m still in learning mode. But if you are just DYING to see some flack-tastic blog posts you can find pictures of the day here and HerNashville ChicGeek posts here.

New design for FlackRabbit

Hooray! I’ve got a new look for the my site thanks to GroovySoup. I’ll be getting to know it for a while so there will be a few growing pains. I think I lost my RSS feed subcribers during the switch though — so you won’t notice!

If you do happen to stumble upon the site, let me know how you like it!
