No more stashing things in the bathtub... Strangers looking in my closets.

So we're selling our house. We're having an Open House every Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 to 4:00. We're running the Open House which means that we're here while strangers are going through our home. They're looking in our closets, our cabinets, the oven, our bathtubs; places more commonly known in the Goble household as: places to stash stuff when you're in a hurry. All of my hiding places have been ripped out from under me. So we're living in a museum. Kurt is acting as the head docent for our "guests" - I'm acting as head janitor. It's weird because normally when you have people in your home, they're friends of yours and they tell you how nice your house is. Now our "guests" walk through and looked bored and very unimpressed. All part of the game I suppose. It's just weird. But hey - if you're looking for something to do, you can come to our Open House and act interested. That way, when potential buyers come through, you can be here too and pretend that you want to buy the house so that they'll be more interested. Jon - this gig is right up your alley. You're an actor - why don't you come over here and act like you want to buy our house?

Wow! Sounds stressful to me. Now I want all the details please. Where are you moving, what's the plan, will Kurt remodel that one for you too? Give me the good stuff!

Well we're not sure where we're moving yet. We'd like to buy in Fountain Valley again if we can. I love it because it's so close to the freeway - and, as the slogan goes "It's a nice place to live." HB would be great too - we just want something with a yard. There are so many houses that I've seen that I love - but we can't do anything until this place goes. So.... we may not be going anywhere. As for the remodeling - Kurt has put a nix on any future remodeling projects. But we'll see.... :)

How exciting!!!! But at the same time a real drag. Tell me...where do you stash your stuff when there's no place to stash your stuff? I'd have to put a lock on a designated room to stash all my stuff!!!
