For those of you who don’t know, we put our house on the market a couple weeks ago and it has been an adventure.
If you have problems with keeping your house picked up (and I’m not saying we do…well, I do) sell your house. I don’t think I have picked up more stuff more times in my life. I have also become a “master stasher.” That is the art of finding little nooks and crannies you hope people won’t pry into to store all of the junk you should really throw away.
I guess the key would be to not acquire so much junk. (again the focus is on me and not Mickie…just wanted to make that clear.)
So here are 5 things I have learned so far from this experience.
- I am not the world’s neatest person, if fact I think I probably rank somewhere behind China.
- Don’t give your cell number to a real estate agent – your minutes will get devoured like a pie at fat camp.
- It’s really weird to leave your house so others can come look at it.
- It’s really weird to look at a house when the owners are still there.
- I can’t think of a fifth, so I guess I’m a slow learner…more to come as the excitement builds

If you think you’ve got a problem, try living in the same house for 29 years like we have. Of course, if we can get our children to take all their stuff when they move out, that’ll help.
Hmmm, I can think of a lot of stuff I would like to have. Some books, some camping equipment… Just don’t tell Mickie. Not sure what I left, but feel free to toss it or sell it…
