Irony
This past weekend was consumed by cleaning and repairing. We met with a realtor yesterday, and we hope to have our house on the market by Tuesday. And yes, you'll all be glad to know that I finished painting the porches on Saturday, the project that I began in early September!
A realtor from Las Vegas called on Friday night. I'm not sure how she's going to work out. I told her OUR MAXIMUM PRICE. So what did she do? She added $50,000 to it and said she would start looking for houses in that range!!! I should meet her in person this weekend, so I'm thinking this might be a trial period.
I leave for Las Vegas on Thursday. Since I'm going on short notice, I'm coming back home for a 4-day weekend after I've been out there for 8 days.
And now to the irony.
I worked outside in my yard for 4 hours on Sunday. Keep in mind that I have a Jack Russell Terrier named Jack Pete who uses the backyard as his master bath. That being said, life has been so crazy lately that I haven't gone out with my plastic bag and picked up his poop for over a month. As you can imagine, my yard is a doo-doo land mine.
During this whole time I did not step in any dog crap. After the yard work, I had to go to Petsmart. While I WAS INSIDE Petsmart, I stepped in dog shit . . . . . . TWICE!!!. How does this happen?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN.

That's awesome. Ha!
Good luck with the realtor...and keep your feet out of the shit...lol
Well, you should've heard by now:
SHIT HAPPENS!!
LOL!
You stepped in it because a retail store, even one aimed at pets, is not the first place you think of tip-toeing through the Dollips.
I hope you used one of their products to scrape it off...

When we moved to Flagstaff, AZ, we met with a realtor and told her our maximum price. Her reaction was, "So, you're looking for a TRAILER?" Yeah. What a bitch! Then I noticed she had a big, gross bug crawling in her hair, but I didn't tell her. Bitch.
The West is a whole different ballgame. We rented for our two years out there. Good luck.
Oh life is so full of shit sometimes! HA I could not resist.
Good luck with the move and the realtor. Don't let the realtors of the world push you around. No offense to any bloggers who happen to be one. From my experience they can be a pushy lot.
The realtor added $50K because:
1) you'll never offer the asking price
2) It's far easier to move you 'down' in price than up (something I learned from a very successful tire salesman)
As for 'stepping in the shit'... well, I hope that's all the crap you step into during the move!!
You'll have to keep us posted on the Vegas move... I've always wondered what it would be like to live there and not just be visiting!
There can be you and are right.
