I’ve received two notifications on the house today for two showings: one this afternoon at 1:00 and another tomorrow evening. Wow. Lots of activity but no offers. I know the house has an odd floor plan–that’s what happens with additions and remodelling–but it’s still a great house at a reasonable price. How in the world do other people manage to not get stressed out over things? Since I’m paying mortgage and rent right...

Real estate sites with mis-information
Things have definitely picked up with the house. My real estate agent thought that activity would pick up with spring and she was right. There is another viewing scheduled for tomorrow evening. Each time I have a note about someone viewing the house, I always wait to see if there will be an offer. So far, nothing. I checked the value of my home on a few of the real estate web sites...

I had two problems with WordPress since I updated to 2.5.1 last week: the trackback field disappeared and no one could leave comments on the posts. The issue turned out to be an incomplete upload of the wp-admin/inludes folder. Once I re-uploaded the folder, the trackback field and comments-enabled options re-appeared on the Write New Post page. If you encounter any posts that do not have comments enabled, please let me know. I’ll...

I was randomly reading web pages and came acros a site called Photo Basement, a site that contains humourous modern day and historical photos, some times captioned and some times not. The photo sets are pretty funny. The set of what happens when geeks have kids got me laughing, especially this first image: Related Images:

Another showing tonight for the house. Maybe, just maybe, someone will like it… I keep hoping that the right person will see it and fall in love with it. Related Images:

My real estate agent called me at work today with an update on what the indiviuals who had looked at the house thought of it. So… No real good news, unfortunately. Three people thought the house was too expensive (even though the price has been lowered by $10k from the original price). One couple really loved the house. It sounded like they might have made an offer, except that the mortgage they were...
Continue reading...Unpacking, kinda. Trippy.
I’ve been trying to get things unpacked in the apartment. Some days, like Wednesday, I’m super productive. Other days, like today, I’m not even close. I unpacked maybe one box tonight. Shuffled things around. Just didn’t have the energy after work to do much. Instead, I will probably opt to go to bed early. Tomorrow morning I’m leaving to go to Tennessee. I get to see Isis! A friend of mine is working...

Okay, kinda related topics — more that they happened on the same day than anything else. House showing and allergy update. The house is showing this evening! Woohoo! That’s four showings in one week. Hopefully one of these will result in an offer… The house has had a lot of traffic but no serious inquiries. At least not that I’m aware of… On to the second topic: my legs are still itching. You...
