A Post Full of Lists

Since we are Mr. and Mrs. Awesome, we are in the midst of getting ready to move. We're supposed to close on our house in March and we're just waiting for the official okay from our lending bank. Here is what we've learned, besides the fact that we are so not financially savvy, as a result of this process:

1. It's not very wise to buy a home right when the housing market and economy start to dip.

2. It's not very wise to buy a home that's overpriced for the area, even though you like it very, very much, and wish to live there. This will instantly label you as a Jackass.

3. Don't buy new stainless steel kitchen appliances before you sell your home, hoping to reap the rewards of a fancier looking kitchen. This just shows more financial stupidity, and that you have been brainwashed by HGTV.

4. When your realtor tells you it's time to think about a short sale, try not to jump up and down with glee. This is not referring to the length of time it will take to sell your home, rather the amount of money you will be shorting the bank upon this sale. Oops. Sorry, bank.


Here is a numbered list of the photos I took of our home for the real estate listing:

Doesn't all the professional staging just take your breath away? Too bad the house usually looks like this:


(I wonder if my real estate photos can be construed as false advertising?)


In Closing, I would like to share with you all bits of information I have recently read on the internets: (Third list)

1. The Miniature Pinscher is a hardy little fellow, who is proud, and courageous.

2. Pick up the scissors and cut with your right hand. Use your fingers as a guide to trim the hair. (SEE FIGURES B & C) Be sure your fingers are very sharp.

3. Cookbooks are so handy when kept in the kitchen.

4. Fun for the entire family, educational, often tasty and sometimes intriguing, factory tours may constitute a day trip or a weeklong adventure.

5. Asians, as stated in many posts, are a great asset to any area.

6. Chicken legs can be really cheap.

I hope you've all learned some important lessons here today.
