Could everyone please keep your fingers crossed for something totally trivial in comparison to The World’s Problems?
Add commentsI received an email today that a couple is very interested in my house and that they maybe might possibly want to put an offer on it.
That would be a very good thing. Let’s use blog power to make that happen. Thanks!
PS – If you wanted to know more about TequilaCon: A) You should have just been there; B) Go see the orange blog whose name I’m not mentioning for the express purpose of being a jackass to Sour. ::batting eyelashes::

I’ll cross my fingers, toes, and penis.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:06 am
I am calling upon the powers at my disposal to make this happen!
And my powers are ample, believe you me.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:07 am
Ample is not right. Plentiful? Formidable?
Ah, fuck it.

Are you leaving France??
May 6th, 2008 at 10:15 am
Avi, I appreciate that you go through pains to please me.
Fab, thank you. If anyone could magically make my house sell it’s you.
Bearette, you look very pretty today. Is that a new dress?? (I haven’t lived in that house since September. The ex lives there.)
May 6th, 2008 at 10:25 am
You must have a chat with St. Joseph. I’ll but in a good word for you.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:26 am
What Finn said–there’s a whole ritual.
I’ll put in all my good thoughts sugar.
I’ve got house things going today too. ;-)
May 6th, 2008 at 11:37 am
I’ve already crossed everything I have… and then some.
So now I’m just the “orange blog”?
Can’t I be the “orange blog who says hiiiiii!!!”?
May 6th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
Finn, thank you! He makes good aspirin.
Turnbaby, ooh! Ooh! Fingers crosssssed!!!!!
Dawg, thank you.
And… um, if I told everyone your blog says hiiiiii!!! everyone will be lining up for miles to get a piece of hiiiiii!!! so: NO. 
(Where’s my newspaper?)

Update: Apparently these people are REALLY interested, but still haven’t made an offer yet. No idea why. That house is $1 for 1.1 acres and a 3-bedroom colonial with a really nice porch, perennial gardens, a generator included…
What the fuck, people. Just buy the fucking house.
May 6th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
One dollar? I might could go that high…
May 6th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
Did I mention a back deck and two-car garage? A full (unfinished) basement?
Close to school, shopping, community activities?
In the country so nice and private?
Close to the city so easy to get places?
2.5 baths?
Walk-in closet in the master suite?
… … …
I wish I wanted that house!

What’s the square footage? Any water problems in the spring with the snow melt?
May 6th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
Oh, and how old is it? Is it in good repair? You don’t strike me as handy around the house…
May 6th, 2008 at 1:50 pm
1892 sq ft, not including the unfinished basement. It was finished being built July 31, 2002. It has no water problems (it did, but those were repaired by the builder), no snow melt problems. It is in EXCELLENT condition, not my doing. It continues to be lived in by the person who has kept it in excellent condition since day 1. Also, joins up to 40 acres of common land and is on a dead end road off a dead end road.
Do you actually want to live in France??
And where’s your $1 comment? I just wanted to add: Obviously it’s actually more than a dollar, but it’s worth waaaay more than we’d be asking in a firmer market under different domestic conditions. (My politest way of putting that.)
May 6th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
I’m sending them subliminal messages as we speak. Or maybe it’s extra sensory messages. You will sell your lovely, yet cheap, house. I just know it.
May 6th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
It sounds delightful. Well, except for being in France.
I know you hate to trade on your celebrity, but if you marketed it as a “Former Residence of Poppy” someone would probably snap it up in 24 hours.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
I hear France is lovely at this time of year… I will cross my fingers.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
But I thought you were still in France, sans ex!
May 6th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
I.e., different house in France.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
Shelli, thank you. I sure as hell hope so.
Fab, … that is such an excellent idea. Anybody wanna buy Poppy’s former residence?
Maman, thank you!!
Bearette, I still live in France, yes. We would really like the house to sell so we are no longer tied to it in any way. I live in a house, but in an apartment in a house, with rent. It’s not a permanent situation. I will have more permanence when I don’t have a house to carry. Right now I pay for rent and part of the house. It really sucks ass.
May 6th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
I am pushing so many powerful good thoughts out into the universe right now that the couple puts in an offer, I think I may have blown out a sphincter!
I really, really hope these peeps want it so bad that they hand over the $1 by day’s end! You need to unload that domicile, stat!
Oh, and thanks for the jackassery, smartie-poop. I checked out all your/D’s T-con photos late last night, and those tater tots looked really tasty!
May 6th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
Sour, thank you for the good thoughts. NEEDED. Best tater tots on the entire planet…
May 6th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
May good things come to pass.
May 6th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
Um yea I wish i could have gone and thanks for making me feel better about it…
May 6th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
Creature, thank you.
Geek, just for you (ok, not really) I made a 75 minute long video about my weekend. I had to chop it into 10 videos. I will be uploading them as I get the time and bandwidth.
May 7th, 2008 at 4:47 am
Fingers, toes, arms, legs and boobies crossed for ya!!!
May 7th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
We really should have talked at TC! I’m sorry I missed you. Like you, we also have a couple interested in our house. They’ve been for like two months and keep telling us we’ll have an offer and then we don’t. Go bury St. Joe’s upside down in your front yard. That’s what I did and I’m hoping for the best. Good luck!
(Edited to add: That’s me Black Belt mama who’s too much of an idiot to fill out that identifying info. Very tired today.)

Sending you good juju!
