Currently there are a bunch of strangers walking through our house. This is one of the freaky things that happens when your house is on the market. You have to get used to people you do not know – and probably wouldn’t like - judging your lifestyle, and, more often than not, deciding that the place that you are currently dwelling is not acceptable to them. They look at our life and find it lacking. They mock our bedspread. They judge our curtains. That kind of hurts. They are probably making fun of our bathroom with the tile ceiling and hard wood floors right now. I know I did when I first went through the place.
Stop judging me for not mowing my grass on Sunday, potential house buyers. Yes, we are still planning on putting those bags of mulch on our side flower beds. We are not planning on leaving six bags of mulch in their bags on our back yard walkway. It is just that I thought it would be better if there were not roof debris in the attic. Sheesh, getting a house ready for showing is hard.
They are laughing at the “watch your head” sign on the stairway down to the basement, but they are invariably hitting their heads on the low stairway ceiling. It is deceptively sloped, it is. I understand you questioning the remnants of the painters tape in the living room and the dining room. Deal with it, the tape tore, and it is not really willing to come off. I have tried to remove it, but it does not want to budge. Yes we are planning on spackling those holes in the plaster, we just have not had the time. I am going to clean the fridge out, when I get the chance, but I have a job. Like you are so perfect…
I just hope they don’t steal my last Grape Crush. It is mine, mine, all mine! Do they think the dust on the NordicTrack means that I do not exercise anymore? I go to the gym, buddy, and I will probably jump on the NordicTrack while watching World Cup games next month. So, just get off my back. Provided, of course, we are not in the process of moving, at that time.
The good thing is that our house went on the market yesterday and we already have 2 showings today and one for Saturday scheduled. At least we got that going for us.
To recap:
Work is insane right now
There are so many projects that are coming due right now
I have 3 of the 4 bridge rendering first drafts done
I will post them when they are completed
About 3 weeks from now
We are chatting with the financial guy tonight about mortgage pre-approval
Dinner with the ‘rents last night was fine
I miss my cats
Quit looking at my stuff – look at my house, not my stuff
Even cheap pizza is good pizza

I dunno where you guys were planning on moving, but I thought I'd mention that there are several houses for sale up near the same ravine Paul and I are on. Worthington schools are pretty damn good.
And yes, stop judging me, I did create an identity, but damned if I can remember what it is.

Every day for the last six weeks, I pass a "FOR SALE BY OWNER" sign, and feel grateful the mine sold so fast. "SOLD" is such a pretty word. Not glossy-Hollywood-pretty, but a lasting pretty that sinks in more and more with every passing week. I wish you a swift and happy "SOLD" with no conditions on the roof.
your last post was hilarious, and though I have never been in a position to buy such a card (*arch wagging of the eyebrows*) (though that's really what the other person in the dialogue would say) (but see, I have to make do by myself) (I am a one-woman dialogue show! :) ) (sheesh!),
as I was saying, blah blah card, I totally agree. I use to look at them hoping to find something funny. I never do.
Anyway, I was going to comment on the post itself, but it looked like yourself and Wifey were having a fine, stimulating bicker, and wouldn't appreciate the interruption.
Ta!

I don't think you understand how little a cartographer at an engineering firm makes compared to the gigantic salary an engineer (Paul) makes. I could not afford to live in your swanky ravine neighborhood. Thanks for rubbing it in. "Hey, look free doughnuts, but they are out of your reach." Jerk

Thanks for the well wishes, but since we re-roofed the house, I sure as heck hope there are not any more roof issues...
Jude:
Interupt my bickering any time you want to. In fact, I demand it.
I like Worthington. 'Cept that rinky dink lil mall they have there. I like where I live-not too close but not too far. Where ya gonna move to? I mean, stay in Ohio? No, I'm not stalkin ya..dont worry.
It's a buyers market out there ....Good luck selling your house!
Jaimie:
It is an odd sensation to know that someone is walking through your house, when you are not there as a chaperone.
KimmyK:
We are still planning on staying in the Clintonville area, but we would like just a little more space and another bathroom.
Hold on there a second mi'amigo. I see houses in this area selling for $80-$160k every week in the paper. I really thought you might be in that price range. The problem is your requirement #2 of more space. I don't know how big your current abode is, but the ones selling for that price around here are relatively small (1200 sq ft, but really perty) and usually need some work (see your various lazy posts for why that wouldn't work). So that probably sticks a fork in it.

Dustin:
Unfortunately, most potential buyers come whilst Wifey and I are at work, and we do not yet have the power to bake remotely.
