The worst kind of stress is the one where you see the end to your headaches and worry, like a light at the end of the tunnel, and then suddenly you disoriented by the sudden reappearance of blackness. I rather feel that way tonight, as we didn’t close on the sale of our old house. [...]

The girls have 21st century paper dolls – these use plastic clothes that cling to the dolls by static. You with me? Think Disney Princesses with cling-on clothes. (I know – Klingon Clothes is funnier). ANYWAY, I’m changing Saralyn’s diaper today – at the AAA office where we were getting passport photos made – and [...]
House hunting in the weeds

7 Houses. That’s how many separate properties we have made offers on over the last 18 months. How many of those houses did we get? None. We are back offering on the little cabin in the woods. Again. Third time. 4th Realtor. New price. Bank owned. Let me sum it up – we are offering [...]
Weekend Recap

Thoughts, in no particular order, hence the dots. Turtle in the carport. Friday – it rained cats and dogs all day. Hence the very big turtle in the car port. Eleanor got to get up close and personal while the big slowpoke waited for its mate and Noah. It rejected the parsley and moved on [...]

Another Realtor called. He’s bringing another family to look at the house today! Wow! 2 in 2 days. Action is picking up!
We gave up, and then we didn’t.

Yesterday, we decided to take our house off the market. We’ve been so upset by the way things had been going. There wasn’t a lot of interest in our place, we’d only had a handful of lookers and one family making any offer. And that offer sucked. WAY sucked. Let’s call them the HOOVER family. [...]

Have you heard Obama’s plan to “help stabilize falling home prices?” Take a minute and read it, especially if you own a home or a mortgage, and have worked very hard each month to pay for it. Go on, I’ll wait… …read it? Good. Are you as mad as I am? Let’s just start with [...]

Take a look at my house!
Lookie-lou!
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged real estate, selling my home on November 17, 2008 | 1 Comment »
WE’VE HAD A LOOKER! It’s nothing. I’m not getting excited. So, someone came to look at my house today. I mean, we looked at 14 housed before we bought this one. People do that, right? Perhaps I’m excited about nothing, and perhaps I shouldn’t have sent the flowers and that bottle of wine to the [...]
