Diets and Selling

It has been a slow few weeks.  I am still resistant to dropping the price now that some new accouterments are being added about and around.  

This past week, Chris and I joined "The Biggest Loser" competition at work.  Hunger and selling is not necessarily a winning combination.   Just FYI.

On Wednesday I received a call from Central Showing that we had a scheduled view.  This is the first in the last month.  The schedule wasn't until 7:30 so I felt comfortable dealing with it when I got home.

Of course, as I opened the door, I began to channel Stalin, screaming orders to the children!!!  You! Put your bag away! You, to the shower!  BOTH OF YOU, PICK UP YOUR STUFF!!!!!!

I cleaned as if my life depended on it.

Soon the bathrooms shown, the floors(except for the kitchen) were clean, and the house was close to viewing ready.   Chris came home to me in full mode and he had little protection from my barking of orders.
His job was to mop the kitchen floor.   "But I just walked in the door?"   FLAMES SPOUT FROM MY EYES!!!!


We finally left to hit Larry's Oyster Bar for a well deserved dinner and beer.  For the record:  Oysters are very low in calories.  Condiments, beer and hush puppies are not.   But I truly believe that I burned off the calories in a cleaning frenzy.


When we returned home we spoke to our neighbors.  They said the couple spent a good amount of time looking at the front of the house and out the back.   They were around the same age as our neighbors and since we specifically asked them to have their 3 year old twin boys out playing, we hoped that would help.
Thursday night I went with friends to a Thursday night Live.  The Embers, famous for Carolina Girls, were playing.  I spent a good amount of time looking for emails.

We finally received an email with our feedback form.  EVERYTHING was good.  But the buyers weren't planning on buying because they didn't like our finished garage and didn't want to spend the money to re-convert it.
Hello?  We stated we would re-convert if needed!!!   Our realtor immediately was in a email/phone session with the buyer agent.  
Unfortunately,  they bid on another house……

It still is positive for us.   As for the biggest loser.  Chris lost 10 pounds this week.   Me, 1.5.   Keep em coming…..
