* Lived in long-time home, outgrew it. Sold house.
* August 2007. Moved into new house.
* February 2008. Sold new house to move to Colorado.
* Really pissed off husband.
* March 2008. Found 6 month rental in San Diego until we figured things out. Moved.
* May 2008. Found new house and are in 30 day escrow.
* Husband extremely happy with staying in San Diego.
* Finding rental home replacements for final 2 months of lease.
* June 2008. We'll move again.
So that we don't end up with our new mortgage and an obscene rent payment for two months, we've begun showing the rental so that the owner can rent it to someone more stable appropriate for the long term.
Shortly after a trip to the grocery store, a couple came to see the house. I was just finishing putting the groceries/toiletries away when they arrived. They politely looked around. They politely left. They politely sent an email saying that they would like to begin a lease in our home.
To my horror, I realized that not all of the groceries had been put away before their arrival. The one meant to be put in a medicine cabinet and far out of sight was smack dab in the middle of the kitchen table.
So, do you think it was the Vagisil that sealed the deal? They say to make your home smell like fresh-baked cookies, to play classical music, and to turn on all of the lights. I say, leave out some Vagisil. Worked for me.
(P.S. Antibiotics from lip episode didn't agree with my body, hence the photo above.)

Cheri cracks me up. Great story!!
Yep...that would have done it for me!
It had to have been that!!
You are NOT telling me the Doctor recommended that you put VAGISIL on your lips did he? Ewww.
I would have simmered some apple cider with cinnamon on the stove.
But(clearly) I would have been wrong.
Hilarious story!
that is hilarious! Probably made them feel like they were in a home.
We are practically homeless, our stuff is packed and in boxes. But it has no where to go. Soon we will be in KY to find a house, but not until July! UGH!
That MUST have been it! Note to self, when selling house, make sure to leave out personal hygiene items.
You poor dear--I know just what you need--lunch with Cheri and Denise on Wednesday.
oh, um, i was confused about the cookies and vagisil connection. i've re-read and i'm all set now, but that was weird for a minute.
Oh My - fresh baked cookies - HA!
Hope you had a good Memorial weekend - see you soon - Kellan
