Well, I pushed my paperwork all the way to Friday and now have to play catch-up! I'm also not dressed to the shoes although I am dressed but have a pair of slippers on and haven't done a thing with my hair! Kit and the cats take priority in the morning and I skipped the shoes this time. I also hid out when the 'thumpers' were knocking on the door, not wanting to debate with them over my religious preferences today. (occassionally they want to come back to talk to me, because I give them information they want to hear more about!)

NT is probably on her way home from California, Vee.

Kit's room is almost exactly the way I want it to be, but my dh hates it when I put the bedskirt on Kit's bed. I think it looks tacky without it.

GO Hermi! Good luck on both of your scheduled showings for this week.

Our weather is turning much colder this weekend, too. We have two fronts on the way from the NW and the SW colliding and causing cold precipitation, and I'm not looking forward to jacket weather again.

LOL Nick, it's hard for me to imagine anyone having snow now. Darren dug up the sprinklers yesterday and worked on those and set up an automatic system and right this minute today it's so nice out the kids are out on the waterslide.

ITA, Wargod, can't believe it is still snowing in places!!

I am redoing the bedroom this weekend, well sort of, I got a new bed set. I had ripped my bedskirt once when I was trying to get it sorted properly, so I decided to get a new and different set! It was only $59 at Brylanehomes.com so I am excited, plus I got a new set of sheets, so one of the old ones will go away. I just have to strip down the bed, will probably flip the mattress and then put it back together.

Everyone who celebrates, have a great Easter.

Oh how fun! I need a new bed, but that can definitely wait.

First Open House is tomorrow.

Nothing much going on. The realtor who stopped by with the "Open House" signs told me that I may not have many since we scheduled it on such short notice. Maybe next week's will have more people coming out. I still have an hour and a half to go, but only one woman has been by so far.

At least my house looks and smells nice! :-)

Thanks for all the well wishes!

It only takes the right one!

But, definitely, next week's will have more. Are you serving goodies or is that not done anymore?

I found out part of why attendance was so light... it was very windy today and the "Open House" sign blew down on the main road and the balloons attached to help identify my house blew away. Ah well. Maybe next week.

No goodies and next week I won't be in the house, the realtor will be dealing with it.

Dang wind and cold. It's enough to make us all head for the South Sea Islands.

It's crazy! It's going to drop to 26 tonight! It's going to kill all our pretty spring blossoms! I hope my azalea makes it!

How cold is it up where you are??

Let's see...yes, I am running out to check...brb...32°...golly, you've even got us beat. This really is nuts. Hope that your azalea pulls through...you might help it out by covering.

Covering? The plant or the roots? Do I just put a regular blanket on it?

You have us beat at the moment... it's not 26 yet... still 39.

What a wacky April!

Ack ack! We had mid to upper 80's all week long and then Thursday night it got really windy. Yesterday warmed up and was pretty nice, nice enough for the kids to play on the water slide. Today the temps are down to 74 and it's breezy, it's a lead in to tomorrows much crappier weather. We're not supposed to get over the mid 60's, it's gonna be windy and there's a mediumish chance for rain. Of course by Monday the temps are supposed to shoot back up. Totally sucks, Easter is an all day outside day, I don't know what the heck we're gonna do if it rains.

Yup, I'd put a light blanket over it. I'll say it's wacky. Did you know that Texas has a winter storm warning and that they're expecting several inches of snow in some areas? It's positively bizarre!

It's very unusual for it to be this cold in central Virginia this time of year, although I remember one year it snowed on my birthday, which is later this month.

This was my view this morning!

Well we had a green Christmas and now will have a white Easter...Someone has really ticked Mother Nature off.

It is currently 21 and its only going to be 34 tomorrow and up to 48 on Wednesday..This weather certainly does suck.

Just think Hermie..once the weather does get nice again, people are going to want to get to get out of their house and look at yours.

Hermione, the realtor might be too polite to tell you, but they actually like it better, and it is better off all around, if you are not in the house for the Open House.

LOL, I had a neighbor who was selling his house, and he finally took it off the market cuz of the realtors. He said his realtor had told him about it being better if they left, so anytime she called to tell them she was bringing someone by, if they were able, they'd leave til she was done. But they also had other realtors stopping by to show off the house and it was ticking him off that they'd show up in the middle of dinner or when they had their little one in the tub or bed. He put up with it for about six months, the finally straw though was one day he'd left work early sick and went home, laid down on the couch and woke up to find a realtor standing there staring at him with a family in tow, lol.

There were no realtors from the office available to do my open house today on such short notice, but I wanted to do one today, so I had to "run" it. They dropped off the signs and advertised with the MLS, but no one could be here because of prior commitments. That's why I was here today. Normally, I'm gone when someone comes by. :-)
