• To Buy or Not to Buy...

  .. a house, that is.

  Actually, we have already decided we're going to buy a house. But when, we don't know. Our apartment sold in three weeks (that must be some kind of a record in this economy) but unfortunately the buyer pulled out. Luckily, we  hadn't made an offer on a house yet, but we had already found our dream house... Which we  now cannot make an offer on.

  We're trying very hard to fight the disappointment - there are worse things in the world, right? At least we still have a roof over our heads - but I had so hoped to be in our new house by the summer! Ah, to have a garden... *sigh*

  We're in the process of getting ready for another day of viewings on Friday. We want everything to look just so (which is what we did last time, and it worked - initially anyway). But pulling off a look like that involves catching up on piles on laundry (okay, it's not that bad, but you know what I mean), hiding our little and big messes in overstuffed closets (why do you think we want to move out?) and cleaning every inch of this place in a more than thorough fashion.

  And I'm sick of it.

  I guess I'm just writing this to find the courage to go through this process all over again... *sigh*

  Have you sold a house lately? What did you do to make it look/smell/sound appealing to potential buyers?
