Shut the Front Door!!!

So just when things seemed to be at a complete stand still we just got the call for another showing.  Wooohhhoooo, we are showing the house again this Saturday!  Man I hope these people don't feel that our house "doesn't stand out against others in the same price range" ;)  Hahahhaha I am just kidding.  I'm not bitter.  I mean come on....back in March we had an offer just slightly over asking price.  Oh and that was before we dropped it $5,000.
Of course we have the LaRocca Family Scholarship golf outing on Saturday and we leave for the Lake for the week on Sunday so it is going to be a bit crazy.  Buuuuutttt we will git 'er done!!

So I am going to throw everything I have at this weekend's showing.  Wait for it.....

 

 

 

(ok, ok so this one is a little creepy)

Any other lucky charms you can think of???  If so, share the love my friends!!

Now THAT was harsh!!

We just got some feedback from the guy that came to see the house last week.  His realtor said to our realtor, and I quote, "the buyer has no interest, they didn't care for the floorplan.  It just didn't stand up against other homes I showed in the price range."  Well alrighty then....I sure wished they would have told us what they really thought ;)
Sooooooooo in the words of one of my favorite Saturday Night Live characters:

"SUCK IT TREBEK!!!!"

Whew, I feel MUCH better.  Eh, whatevs!  Obviously this guy was not manly enough to be sold on the barn!!  I didn't want him to buy it anyway ;)  Just kidding!!  Onto the next potential buyer.....

Dream House Deals and Extreme Couponing

I just realized that it has been a while since I did a dream house deals post!!  So here it is my friends.  This is for Jake's bedroom.  He wants to go with a sport theme and I really like this.  It isn't team specific and just kind of netural.  I love it because it looks kind of aged.

 

I picked this up at Hobby Lobby....for $21.99 and I do believe that it was 50% off that!  Soooo I got a pretty good deal on it.  I want to get the baseball and soccer picture to go along with the set.  I need to get on that STAT!!  I think I got this probably 5 or so months ago...hopefully they still have the rest to go along with it.

Onto my couponing.  As you have all heard I have gotten into my extreme couponing and thought I would share a quick picture.  I started about 6 weeks ago and this is why my stash looks like thus far!!

 

 Hahahhaa before you know it I am going to take over all the shelves.  I am slowly taking it over!

Onto my super cute little DIY'ers.  Look at these 2, they are sooooooo ready to start building our house.

 

I have to admit that I am just as ready as they are.  So gotta keep on truckin' and get this thing sold!

Do you remember when...

this guy was in our attic and TORMENTING me every night???

Yep I remember it rather vividly.  I remember those sleepless nights when I worried about the raccoon falling through the ceiling on my face.  Hhehehehe it seems like just yesterday.
Wellllllll one of my bff's (ahem Shawna) was kind enough to send me the link to a TV commercial that she said made her laugh so hard she was crying thinking about the raccoon that once wreaked havoc on my nights!!  I have to admit I watched it 3 times while laughing hysterically before calling her to laugh together.  Bwwhahahhahaaa!!!
Well I can't leave you all hanging now can I?  You wanna see it???  Well, here it is:

Raccoon Mayhem

Wow, it really doesn't get much funnier than that!!  Hhehehehehhee!  My friends are ALWAYS looking out for me and a good laugh.

On the home front our realtor is still waiting to get some feedback on the showing on Tuesday.  In the meantime they let me know that they will be running an ad in one of the Bedford papers this week.  So, fingers crossed that it will drum up some attention :)

Now we wait....

Yep we showed the house this morning at 10:00.  It has been over 4 months since we had a showing so I am feeling a bit optimistic again.  Eh, we'll see!!  Now we just have to wait to get some feedback from the realtor to see what the buyer thought!!  Hmmmm I hope that they get back to us with a purchase agreement but that my friends is wishful thinking.  Hey, ya never know and well we will never know til I hear back!! 

Hopefully I hear something today but I probably won't until tomorrow!!  Once I do, I will give you the latest and the greatest....heavy on the (hopefully) greatest!!
