BWAhahahahaha

The sales agent called today with his weekly update. He said that they are aiming for an end of January closing date. Now here are some words I would love to eat: There is no possible way that they are going to be ready to close in January. We'll be lucky if it is February. I was thinking that it would be nice to move during Spring Break (end of March). I had a good chuckle over that January date, though.

We had the outside of this house painted this week. It looks great. We also got an estimate for painting the interior. Boy, what a relief not to have to try to sell while we live here.

For Sale: Cramped townhouse. Has withstood 15 years of abuse as evidenced by the stripe of grime that runs throughout the house at just the height of the youngest child. Three bedrooms: two dorm-style rooms with floors covered in clothing, mostly dirty, usually occupied by two bickering children. They are usually bickering over whose night it is to sleep with the cat. One Master bedroom that collects all the excess stuff from all over the house and, when the afore mentioned children fall asleep, the cats. Currently, one side of the fence in the backyard is painted red because the neighbors are idiots. Yes, you get to share a wall with the idiot neighbors, but mostly you don't hear them. You just run into them when they are standing in the front yard, smoking and flicking their cigarette butts into your yard. For a few more months, there is a view of the water out of the back window- at least until they build the condominiums right smack on the other side of the back fence, just past the huge puddle of standing water created by the construction.

Believe it or not, the townhouses in our neighborhood are selling in less than a month.
