One More Night 1 Jun 2012 | 01:09 am
Both houses have closed and we have the keys to our new home. The moving truck arrives tomorrow morning. Thank Goodness. Our latest twist in the house selling/buying saga: The Laundry Debacle. Less...
It’s All So Very Temporary 3 May 2012 | 11:17 am
I think we’re at the mid-point now. Just over 3 weeks since we arrived at our apartment in the outerburbs hills, and just over four weeks until we move into our new house, if all goes according to pla...
I’m The One In Pink 19 Apr 2012 | 10:38 am
Four offers. They picked ours. Their realtor said the pictures and letter (our realtor wrote, about us) swayed them. I am doing the Happy Dance.
A Very Noble Family 19 Apr 2012 | 06:06 am
Our agent, figuring our bid could use all the help it can get, threw in some pictures of our family and a little write up about our adorable children and their desire to go to that neighborhood’s scho...
Time To Bust Out The Chocolate 18 Apr 2012 | 02:46 pm
We accepted the offer on our house. They get my washer and dryer. And the kids’ playground. And the house sold for barely more than we paid four years ago. Definitely a “loss” if one considers the amo...
I May One Day Learn To Chill 17 Apr 2012 | 07:05 am

There’s Still Some Fire Left In That Dragon 29 Mar 2012 | 12:21 pm
New Years’ holidays in the winter are so passe. Everyone who’s anyone knows the time to throw a national new year party is in the spring, when the weather is nice and the flowers are out. At least, th...
So That Was An Expensive Open House 28 Mar 2012 | 07:41 am
My agent held a “broker’s open” at our house today, so R~ and I had to clear out for like four hours. The local library doesn’t open until like 1 on Tuesdays, so that option was out. Clearly, our only...
T Minus 13 Days And Counting 22 Mar 2012 | 12:07 pm
Our first day active on the market. Our agent’s assistant called at 3:30 and said a realtor wanted to come by for a showing “Between four and six.” Seriously? A 2 hour window? “He says he’s plannin...
