On the Market - Curb Appeal

The house is officially on the market! Pictures are not yet posted to the realtor website, but here are a few from my own camera.

Quote for the day

I found this quote to share:

"The sweat of hard work is not to be displayed. It is much more graceful to appear favored by the gods." - Maxine Hong Kingston, The Woman Warrior, 1976

While it's a wonderful thought to make things look like a graceful display of effortlessness, I don't think anyone is going to confuse me with being favored by the gods. The curb appeal projects wrapped up Tuesday, May 19th and FINALLY, this morning around 1am, all the painting was FINISHED! Yeah! Now a massive cleanup today and the house will be on the market tomorrow, Sat, May 23rd.

Pictures to follow soon!

A little Midnight Gardening

Alas I am almost finished with the patio and all its gardening goodness. I took my camera out of its case and the batteries were dead. I still need to clean the patio furniture anyway.

And now it is off to bed.
12 minutes past midnight.
Over and out....

A Slew of Activity

I can't believe how much work I still have left to do before putting the house on the market. Crud. I'm making the most of my time though - work during the day, take care of personal details during lunch, yard work once I get home till the sun starts going down and then working on painting projects till late. (Luckily I wrapped up the videos and Motor Dance business.) I have a week and a half to finish up and stage the house. Awwwww! And I thought producing a performance was tight. At least David and I are still smiling. A part of me wishes for the simpler days when every weekend was filled with the enjoyable kind of gardening.

Organizin' and Cleanin'

While I've been positioned square in front of a computer or laptop all day cleaning up files and organizing all these video files, David has been cleaning up. I didn't realize that our deck was made of actual wood!

I've made some headway on the videos - still 1 of the 4 left to complete. For now though, I'm going to take a break to get ready for Megan and Michelle's arrival for dinner and debriefing. They made this stellar piece of art. It chronicles our three years together and it brings tears of joy to my eyes. Thanks!

Still plugging away....

I'd really like more time to finish video work and paperwork!
