Verdict
They love our house. We’re their favorite. Are you sensing a "but"? Because there is one.
They are first time home-buyers and they want to see every other possibility in the whole wide world before they decide we are the right house for them. This does not mean they don’t want our house; they do. They just want to be 100% sure and they can’t be if they’ve only seen eight other properties. While they continue to peruse the universe, they want to be notified immediately if another offer comes in on our house.
I might be slightly exaggerating about the number of homes they intend to see; but I am a woman on the edge here. I am a woman who is seriously sick and tired of vacuuming morning, noon and night and constantly putting dishes and clothes away. I am a woman on official bed-making strike. I am done. . .
. . .until we get another call for a showing and then I’ll turn right back into Martha again, spelling out "buy me now" in the carpet with the vacuum and baking perfect chocolate chip cookies that the girls aren’t even allowed to smell.
In the interest of completely changing the subject so that my breathing can return to normal once again, what does one wear to Tequila Con 2008? Because I have no idea, and somehow I’m imagining that asking Karl might be a bad idea.

Things You Could Care Less About
Well, at least you know they love your house.
I’d wear something comfortable. It’s gonna be a long night. I haven’t even started packing yet. Hell, I haven’t even done laundry yet.
I feel for you! I remember the two times we’ve sold our houses and it was torture. Non-stop cleaning….I thought I would die! I hope they buy it SOON!
I hate moving house – it’s all too stressful. Tequila Con 2008….sounds like something where by the end of the night it’s not going to matter what you’re wearing at the start!! So hotpants, a tight t-shirt and that necklace?? And lots of photos….I’m kidding, I’m kidding!!! But it does sound a lot of fun.
When we sold our old house in a BAAAAD neighborhood (a murder in the front yard put us over the edge to basically lose everything we had and move)it was hell. We had plenty of interest as well, but the buyer’s financing co. (Wells Fargo – I HATE WELLS FARGO..and take a lucky guess who bought out the loan on our new house??? Yep…WF!!!AAARRGGGHHH), okay back on tangent – WF jacked us around for like 2 months with all kinds of “They’re preapproved”, “We’re just waiting for…this…or that” Ended up they couldn’t buy and our house sat there for 2 months w/nobody seriously considering it because it was “under contract”. The way we were lucky though is that we had our new house already and we kept the old house immaculate because nobody was living there. But we had 2 house payments when we couldn’t even really afford one! It really is hell selling. I tell anyone who’ll listen that they will drag my dead, lifeless body out of this house one day. I’m never moving again! Got all my extremities crossed again!
Well TC is at a bowling alley so nothing fancy. Jeans are a good stand by. Just be yourself! 🙂
Can’t you get someone ELSE to just make a fake offer to light a fire under their asses???
Karl: So should come wearing my flannel Pj’s then?
BB: Torture is right. I’m so sick of it.
Deryck: I think I can safely say I’ll be leaving that jewelry at home. And the hot pants.
Lisa: Blech. I hope we have better luck. At least no one is getting murdered in our front yard.
Sizzle: So another vote for pj’s or sweat pants. 😉
Maniacal: I asked my parents to do that last night.
I hope someone swoops in with a full price offer and a quick close and then these pesky looky-loos that can’t commit will lose your house. Then I hope they can’t find another one they like. It would serve them right!
I’d wear that white thing with the black belt.
This is a gathering of bloggers — super geeks meeting in a bowling alley … the native habitat of rednecks.
Somebody’s going to have to be prepared to protect the rest of us.
So if I offer you $2.50 Cdn for your house does that count as an offer?
Miss Chris: Me too, me too.
Delmer: You seriously crack me up. You know, someone is already wearing a tequila costume so maybe I just should. 😉
Nat: Do you need my realtor’s phone number? I’d be happy to connect you. I think that might count.
I feel like everyone I’ve read today is at Tequila Con. Maybe I should start saving up for next year.
