To Move or Not to Move

We have finally come to the conclusion that it is time to think about moving. Although our little town is delightful, picturesque and quaint, it is far from cost effective. And, the thought has occurred to us that if we really want to have the children, we need to stop living like we just graduated from college and start making some plans.

So, operation Prepare To Move has officially started. Today, I made a list of all the things we need to do to fix-up, clean-up and all around make the place presentable to potential buyers. This is not a short list. This is not even a long list - this is a gargantuan list. Seriously - take a look around where you live and imagine it through the eyes of someone that you want money from for it. This is no small endeavor.

Step one: have your favorite realtor over to tell you what you need to do to prep and stage the house. Add this to the long list you have already made for yourself. *sigh deeply*

Step two: stick head in the sand and spend the evening watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Yes, this is the best way to get started.

I may also make a binder and be all OCD about my list, about operation Prepare To Move and perhaps, I'll even get to cross some stuff off that list.
