I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST DID!!!.... (8-1-07)

1st let me welcome you to AUGUST!! My goodness time flies by when having... whatever! If you say so, Dad!! LOL

So, what did I do?? I'll tell you what & then I'll explain why & then what transpired!

I was coming home after going to the UPS Store (LTD paper work had to be overnighted!) & as I was coming down a road real close to home, I had seen this lady (about 50ish) walking across the street to her very nice blue Jeep, which she had the door open to. As I approached she was just getting in & I had glanced to my left & seen she stopped to get an information sheet on a house for sale.

I ended up getting in front of her at the stop sign.
I then waved her up to pass me... Hold on, it gets better...
But I stopped her!!

We rolled our windows down (because it's hot & humid again!)

Me: "You're going to think I'm crazy, but I saw you stop & get an information sheet on that house for sale... What price range you looking for?"
Her: "About $80,000"
Me: "How many bedrooms?"
Her: "It's just me. 1 or 2."
Me: "Well, we have a house up the road with 2 possibly 3 bedrooms that we are looking around $70k for it. It's not cleaned up right now, but if you'll follow me, I can at least show you the outside."

You see, we do not currently have our house on the market! ... HOWEVER, we have been "toying" with the idea of getting things in order (such as cleaning & fixing up the place) & find a house in the country, or at least with some acreage & out of the city!!

Her: "70, wow! Ok,"
Me: "It's just right up here."

So she proceeds to follow me home. (She was in a really nice blue Jeep Liberty, so I actually felt at ease, because she reminds me of my mom... who also has a Jeep (but it's red) Ok, I'll stop rambling... but hey, isn't that what blogs are for!! LOL... By the way, her name is Pam... found out later.)

I drove up our little alley open the garage door, with the remote & pulled in slightly to let her pass & pull into the gravel part of our lot. (Now keep in mind, I have not been to sleep since 10:30 yesterday morning! YES, AGAIN!! So, I was chatting really fast now... on pure excitement at the thought I may have just "sold" our house!!!)

Pam: "It's not for sale yet!?"
Me: "We just haven't put it up, but we really want to move out into the country. My husband's best friend just called him the other day & said that his neighbor was going to be selling. & This just maybe the "spark" we need to get moving on this one. We can do it For Sale Buy Owner"
Pam: "Cheaper that way!"
Me: "Please forgive me, I've had some medical issues & the house is not clean, other wise I would show you the inside right now." (I explained about my very low thyroid & lack of sleep last night.)

I showed her all around the outside... told her about our military neighbor guy who was married a few months ago & how they are doing some beautiful landscaping. Showed her where & what each room was... & so on. & on... & on.... I may have said too much! Well, I tried not to!

Me: "We can get the inside cleaned up as long as you give me 24 to 48 hours notice."
Pam: "Don't worry about it, you should see my house."
Me: "Let me get you my number."

(I still did not invite her in, because I know hubby would have had an absolute fit if I showed anyone the house in the shape it's in!)

I went into the house & grabbed an old business card I had found just this morning! (Got them free from Vistaprint.com, only had to pay s&h... I only know this because I was looking to get new ones.) So, I knew exactly where it was & I didn't have to write out anything... GOD IS SO WONDERFUL!!!

Pam: "I still have to get my house cleaned up & set to sell. So, it may be a little bit."

Oh, I forgot... in the trip around the house, I found out she lives right down the road from where my hubby's aunt lives. AND GET THIS.... when I said where she lived. Pam about lost it.

Pam: "Oh my goodness, I just talked to her the other day to put my garage sale sign in her yard. She was so sweet!"
Me: "Such a small world!"

We left it at she's going to give me a call when she wants to come & see the inside. Since I did not get her number, (didn't want to push it), we will just have to wait & PRAY she calls!!! (And that everything that we need to happen to sell this place & buy a new one all goes smooth as pudding... remember I'm working on being awake for 29 hours with NO SLEEP!!)

After she left, I thought, "Oh, I have to blog this!!"

(Oh if I get some sleep & hubby isn't home yet, I may blog again! I have some more "news"... something fun!)

Now... this leads me into a question for you...
