    But I'D Buy it!!!!

    Okay, I'm trying not to panic here, but no one is coming to see our house. It's in near mint condition, built in 1941, and it's very tastefully decorated, if I do say so myself. I tend to buy all things Pottery Barn, so it's not like I have ceramic cheetahs flanking my fireplace or anything. Anymore.

    We have a side porch, an updated kitchen, a great yard, and the house is huge compared to others in the neighborhood. And I dare you to find another four bedroom house within a four block radius. Okay, well, my friend across the street has four bedrooms, but her house isn't for sale, so it doesn't count. We live on a tree-lined street and we can walk to the library and the playground. The schools are some of the best in the state. Yet we've only had eight people go through here, and seven were from the open house. One was a realtor. Another couple scheduled a walk-through, then cancelled. We're only priced three grand over our break-even point.

    So what gives????? Is it normal to have such slow traffic the first week on the market?

    Anyone need a house? Please??????????

    Why One Should Never Visit Me at Moving Time...

    Holy BALLS it's been a long time since I've posted. Believe me, I've been busy, not dead. We put our house up for sale this week, and between the cleaning and the kids, I'm ready to just burn the place down and collect insurance.

    Misfit Hausfrau came to see me this past weekend! Wee!! We've been planning on this visit, like, forEVAH, giggling with glee over all we'd do while she's here. Drinking! Shopping! Spa! Alas, in the end, she busted her ass raking my leaves, cleaning my kitchen, blah blah blah, because our open house was this weekend. We did do fun things, like discuss our previous boyfriends over lots of wine. And we greatly enjoyed observing the cross section of humanity that inhabits the local greasy spoon. Oh, and I even took her to the spectacle that is Trivia Night, because she had to witness it for herself, people. I'm sure she'll tell you I WAS NOT MAKING ANYTHING UP!!!

    But back to busting our asses---publicly, Hausfrau, I am declaring my eternal gratitude to you. And we're going to try this thing called "just hanging out" when I go to see you next week.

    Oh yes. Yes we will.

    And between you and me, may I just say,

    YERS!!!!!
