My weekend open house went pretty well minus the one crying jag I had while scrubbing the white trim. That was pre-open house, so I didn't scare away any potential buyers with my tears of frustration. But I can't believe how quickly a house gets dirty! I have more people coming to look at it today, so I'm back to scrubbing.

It's official - my house is not sold & I'm back to square one. :(
I'm sure this is just a temporary setback, but it's so hard not to feel bummed. I'm supposed to be moved by now! I've pulled all of my shoes out & have them covering my bedroom in different piles - shoes I want to take pictures in before I move, shoes I want to bring with me, shoes I need to (*sniff*) get rid of & so on. I have a storage unit that is packed to the rafters. It's so hard for me to get rid of stuff, especially girly stuff I think would look good in pictures, even if it's totally uncomfortable (hello hot pink stiletto heels that I can barely stand in!).
I've got my house for sale listings up again & have people coming to look this weekend, so that means tonight is the big clean. It's so frustrating because I had the whole place looking perfect, but after I accepted the sale offer, I kind of trashed it during my packing/organizing/panty shuffle. I think I'll be doing a lot of shoving stuff into boxes unsorted in an attempt to get down to the real scrubbing as quickly as possible.
That's how everything in my life feels right now - unorganized & chaotic. I started installing a new program that will help me manage my members area so you can search for photos, sort by category, save favorites & so on. The real draw is that I can just upload a folder of pictures & it will create all the galleries for me - resize, make the thumbnails, add the watermark, all of it! This would be a huge time saver for me so I could focus on shooting more pictures. But of course it doesn't work just right out of the box. There are a gazillion settings to change & templates to fiddle with & PHP to learn, then code. One more thing that's sitting completely unfinished. *rips hair out*
I hate to whine like this on my blog which is exactly why I've been avoiding writing anything, but you know what? I always feel better after I do get it all out. I guess once I say it out loud (or in print) it doesn't feel like *such* a big deal.
I can do this! I'm getting there! Maybe someone will buy my house this weekend & they'll also know how to customize my new PHP script & they'll want to buy all of furniture, old clothes & shoes. You never know! *grin*
I'm off to the gym & then getting a pedicure so I can shoot some new pictures of my pretty feet tonight. Any requests for polish color? I just did red, so I'm thinking something a little different. Maybe a pale pink? Or something really bright so my toes stand out? Let me know!
