So there has been increased traffic at the townhouse which should be a good sign. I have also learned today that someone is really interested and has seen the house twice with a third showing this week. Agent indicates that we will likely see a contract this week. We remain a little jaded since we have heard this before but maybe this time it will stick and we will actually get this house sold! But we will believe it when we see it.
As a side note, Mike and I were over at the house over the weekend to clear more very important things out of the garage (obviously haven't been missed too much....). I was in the house and checked out the refrigerator to turn it down a notch and noticed how dirty it was. Someone who I am married to who will remain nameless did not clean it out initially. So upon my cleaning of the fridge, I noticed a bag of potatoes on the top shelf. These were not potatoes we left behind (because they would have been really gross) and I am really confused as to where these potatoes came from. Maybe they belong to the ghost.......

My Love
I am thankful for so much in my life and feel that I am incredibly lucky. I have my little family at home that I adore however I have been asked by my husband why I am not mushy and romantic (sounds like more of a woman to man comment doesn't it??) So in appreciation and respect and utter love, here are my favorite things about my betrothed:
He laughs at my stupid jokes and finds it very amusing when I laugh so hard I cry (which is typical when I watch 'The New Adventures of Old Christine' - funniest show on tv).
He cleans the acid off of my car battery and jump starts it like he has done this all his life.
He tells me I look beautiful or pretty almost every single day.
He buys me shoes for my birthday and for Christmas.
He takes the dogs out every morning even on weekends letting me sleep in.
He puts up with my constant change of mind on where furniture needs to go and never gets aggravated when he has to undo what I asked him to do the first time.
He watches America's Next Top Model with me even though he despises Tyra Banks more than anyone on this earth.
He lets me decide the restaurant every time even though he knows it will be Italian 99% of the time.
He lets me control the radio - even if it is to force him to listen to the latest goofy hip hop song. I still can't get him to let me listen to Josh Groban in his presence but we'll get there.
He became a Sox fan and is almost as passionate about them as I am (well maybe not quite....)
He checks in on his mom and dad almost daily.
He tears up when he gives me a mushy romantic card.
He cooks me dinner (and is excellent at it too!)
He goes to Baskin Robbins/DQ/McDonald's whenever I have a late night craving.
He guides me along icy patches in the winter when I insist on wearing high heel boots.
He dusts the hardwood floor and vacuums the carpet without having to be asked.
He tolerates my mood swings and cranky days.
He makes me laugh.
He loves the dogs unconditionally.
He tells me he loves me every night before we go to sleep.
He is my best friend.

Update
I removed my last post regarding a certain perception of our family not because I am at all concerned if anyone reads it and takes any exception to it but rather to protect those who could get hurt unfairly by the off chance that it is indeed read by people other than the 4 of you who do read this blog. My intent was a venting session and to voice my displeasure at the lack of respect that our family receives by others.
In other news, the house on Congress Avenue is still not sold. There have been 2 second showings however no one seems to be moving real fast nor do I think they feel the need to. We have lowered the price once again and really are at the lowest level we can go. Having as many forclosures around the house certainly doesn't help either as we are in no way able to compete with sell off prices. I am in a lose-lose situation and it is probably the most frustrating thing I have ever had to deal with. They always tell you that buying a house is much better than renting since you are able to actually build equity however at this point I will be losing money on the house in an effort to just get rid of it. Good thing I love the house I am in now as I do not foresee myself wanting to sell ever again!
