The art of negotiation.

Sup, my peeps!

I am somewhat happy to announce that I have received an offer on my house, which has been for sale for not even two weeks now. I wish I could be happi-ER about it, but to anyone who's had to do this before, you will understand that I now find myself in the midst of NEGOTIATIONS, which is a not-entirely-pleasant place to be.

What happens is, the "potential buyer" comes in with an offer that is way too low. Then, I counter with an offer that is "a little less than the asking price" but "nowhere near the same ridiculous sub-par ballpark that he is in." Then the buyer feigns "disappointment" that my counteroffer is "higher than we expected, we will have to think about this."

Hmm, well if my asking price doesn't happen to fall in your price range, buddy, then what the hell are you doing attempting to buy my house???

Good Lord.

In other news, the beagle was kind enough to throw up on my freshly shampooed carpet YET AGAIN over the weekend, which I love when I am busy showing my house to potential buyers. Can't get enough of it!!

So, now I sit back and play the waiting game. Soon, I get to find out if we may proceed with the super-fun ritual of "haggling." Can't wait!!

Do you think it's gross to drink hot chocolate out of the same mug you drank tomato soup out of earlier? I'm just wondering.
