Staging

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

The requests for more information about what is entailed in staging a house have literally flooded in, so I decided to do a brief summary of what we’ve done over the past two weeks. Our wonderful stager, Sue Landers of Susan Landers Interiors, came for a one-hour initial consultation with the idea that she’d give [...]

OK, sick of the white stuff now…

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

It’s snowing again. We’re going on seven weeks of having snow on the ground and frankly, I’m sick of it. When we first moved to Colorado, I had this notion that there would be snow on the ground all winter long. Matt assured me that was only in the mountains and he’s been correct for [...]

Children of the 80s, this one’s for you!

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

If your formative years included 1983 (and no, I don’t mean the John Mayer song), you must take this online quiz. It’s 103 questions, so it takes a while, but it’s a great flash back to a simpler time: I think I should have gotten some bonus points for completing it with a squirming infant [...]

I guess I had more to say…

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

After nearly a month of posting very little, I seem to be suffering from an inability to shut up this week I wanted to comment a bit on the process of staging a house before listing it. Our wonderful realtors provide three hours of time with an interior designer to stage your house before it [...]

Freeloader No More!

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

Although I know he was kidding, my baby brother pointed out over the holidays that I was freeloading (i.e. not working for pay) yet again. At the time I just laughed, possibly because I was too sleep-deprived to come up with a witty response. Little did I know that my old boss would get in [...]

Our new house!

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

I saved the item I’ve most wanted to blog about until last. I contemplated titling this post “Exciting News” but figured that if you guys thought I was pregnant after the “I swore I’d never” post, you’d definitely get your hopes up with that title. So I decided instead to use the address of the [...]

No, I’m not a football fan

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

Although I almost never watch football and do not consider myself a fan in any way, I couldn’t avoid posting about the miracle that is this year’s Super Bowl. I mean, come on…the Bears and the Colts? Even though I’m no fan, I am a child of the Mid-West, from Indiana no less, and I [...]

My son, the future lawyer…

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

The ultimate catch-22 of blogging is that when you have the most to blog about, you are typically too busy to post anything at all. Such has been January 2007 around here. So pardon me as I post on several different topics tonight–Lily went to bed early and I don’t feel like doing anything productive… [...]

More snow!

Friday, January 5th, 2007

Those of you who know my mother will be amused to hear that we have 8.5 more inches of snow, for a total of over three feet in the past 2.5 weeks. Mom prefers sunny Florida, but has been very brave and even took Gabriel out to play a couple of times and helped me [...]
