It's Not Easy Being Arts and Crafts

Nobody wants This Old House.  Okay, so it's been on the market for 2.5 weeks.  We're coming up on our third weekend and our second open house, and I'm starting to get edgy.  I think if we don't see any movement by next weekend, the deal is probably hosed.  (sigh)  I had really hoped this would work, despite everyone telling me I would NEVER sell my house during the holidays because nobody wants to a) move or b) take on debt other than consumer debt during the holidays.  Well, hell's bells. It made me think of all the other advice people have given me that I have optimistically thought did not really apply to ME.  Ahem.

Advice I Did Not Think Applied To Me:

  • I would regret graduating college early.
  • I would regret my high educational standards in high school and college. Cs get degrees.
  • I shouldn't worry about what my high school friends thought about me, because it would not matter in five years.
  • I should really learn to tone down the sarcasm in the professional arena.
  • I would "just know" when I met the man I wanted to marry, saw my wedding dress for the first time and started hard labor.
  • I shouldn't let my baby ever sleep in our bed.
  • Her first year would go fast.
  • I would feel old.

Somehow, I thought none of these things would ever happen to me, because I am so good at LIVING IN THE MOMENT, MEMORIALIZING EVENTS and SEEING THE HUMOR in the day.  No.  I am not that good at any of those things, actually, looking at the last week.  But I try.  So what's your list?
