well, had another open house today... advertised in 3 local papers, and two ads on internet sites... and i got there early with my hellium balloons...and i got everything set up...

and it began raining... pouring... rained so hard it was hard to see 3 yards ahead.

...so, the balloons didn't fly and flap and attract attention...they lay pathetically on the ground...unmoving...unflapping... it was rather sad. no one came... rather, no one came until the last 20 minutes. the rain had eased a bit...

i find it rather funny - the two weekends i spent $ on advertising, hardly anyone shows... the first few unadvertised weekends, i probably had about 15 or 20 people all together. go figure.

it will take a special buyer...someone buying their first home (who wants to build equity instead of paying rent) or someone interested in downsizing...perhaps an older person.

I've found a service that... if i pay a flat fee... they'll put it on the computer database system used here by all real estate agents - that way, i can still get exposure, but won't have to pay commission for someone to represent me. I'd like to earn that money myself, thank you very much.

Went to church today - decided to take the membership class, which starts in a few weeks. I really like the pastor... today he was talking about community... some of the topics/thoughts i've expressed on here... about being important... about relationships... about pride vs. humility in what and why we seek community... kind of went along well with some of the discussion on blogs re: blogging itself. ...it was good... validating... and, i think i've got a bit to work on. i'm still a work in progress. but i've done so much work already! amd such a different person than even a few years ago...but i'm still a work in progress... every moment, each learning opportunity... something or someone teaches me something... Anyway - tomorrow is another day. *^*goodnight*^*
