OK. So the powers that be are punishing me for my bravado. I actually thought as soon as we listed our house, our phone would be ringing off the hook with people clamoring for a showing. Whatever. No one has called or emailed--despite our perfect execution complete with signage, an MLS blitz, and staging. Whatever!!
If I spin my 'magical thinking' more positively, perhaps the powers that be knew we just needed that one extra weekend to really be ready. Clear some clutter, touch up some paint. Hide certain realities. OK, but we're ready now. It's time for that darn phone to RING, gosh darnit.
I have to say, I love our house when 90% of our stuff is in the garage. It's somewhere between tranquil space that you might see in a magazine, and fun hotel where life is all about TV and take out. Why is it so hard to keep the clutter to a minimum? And why is it so hard to throw stuff away? Why do I need all the stuff in my garage?
We threw the frisbee and the ball for the doggies today on a very slippery tennis court. It was more like ice skating with balls and frisbees. The dogs liked it though and tired dogs are always a good thing.
I've read that it's really important to drink tons of water when you're pregnant, lest you risk pre-term labor. So, I've ramped up my 64 ounces to approaching 96. Apparently you need 128 ounces (A GALLON) a day when you're breastfeeding. YIKES.
Now, if I could just develop a preference for healthy and nutritious food. I'd have it all going on.
OK, it's L*A*T*E and we have special 'move-out' housecleaner people coming at 8:30 am tomorrow. Ciao for now!

You are definitely more thirsty when breastfeeding, and I often got dehydration headaches, too. That said, aren't you peeing all the time with all that water???
No worries about your house. I checked it out - gorge. You will sell soon enough. I'm looking forward to having you on my coast!
