I do, I like her show and I like her style. In my perfect world everything would be perfect just like her. On Sunday, we had an open house. Some lady mentioned to the realtor something about when we moved out of the house how we had staged it. I don't remember exactly what she said. Alls I know is, I cleaned the crap out of this house on Sunday morning, and I think it would have made even Martha proud.
Some annoying person wanted to see the house at 4 o'clock that day. The open house ran from 1-3... I said yes because that's what people who are trying to sell their house do. Those same annoying people made an offer on our house. It was a total low ball offer. Practically insulting. No, not practically, it was insulting. Plus, they wanted my refrigerator, washer/dryer, big screen TV in the game room and my fire place logs. I am feeling a little bitter. We didn't even counter. We simply said NO. I hate that the market has taken such a nose dive here. It just sucks.
After talking to Scott, I immediately called my Mom and Hayley (Hayley is in Chicago right now) to vent and say some very inappropriate 4 letter words. Because quite frankly who else can you say them to?? Of course, they got me laughing. My Mom said we should have countered with an offer that was even higher than the list price. Hayley said we should respond @*&% +%#. There that made me feel better. A little profanity goes a long way in my book. Thanks girls!
After I got off the phone, I put on my robe, turned on the TV and watched a little Martha. I think I'm liking her right now because my life is a little chaotic and she is so...orderly. It's comforting. Sounds weird, I know, but I'm weird. I have printed off this recipe, it did look really good.
