Pessah Cleaning

So, now that Pessah is over, I have to say, I did myself proud. I really cleaned out stuff. I packed things and I sorted things out. Another week or so and I am finally ready to renovate the house and sell it.

During the Pessah Holidays, my neighbor came over to have a "chat".... trying to tell me, that my house is not worth, what I am asking for... and that she offers me a certain amount. (Well her offer was less, than I paid five years ago) I just laughed in her face and told her, if she makes that offer into Dollars (Same numbers but instead of Shekels she puts Dollars) we have a deal, otherwise.. "don't bother".

Then she started telling me about this Realtor who was here and told her, that I am asking for way too much. WOOOOOW.. I want to talk to that Realtor.. maybe she can give me also the Numbers for the next Lottery Jackpot... rofls... how can someone say such a stupid thing, without knowing the house? Very interesting.

Anyways... I am very optimistic.. and I am pretty sure.. I get what I want for the house.. Or I just won't sell just now. :)

So.. lets see, how I do till end of the month... and yup.. still no laptop... which is good, so I actually do something in the house. :)

Still Cleaning Out

I am still cleaning out every weekend. Incredible how much stuff one person can have..... and I have to admit, that it isn't always easy to throw things away. Happy memories you wanna hold on .. but.. how much is too much?
So I try to be strong every weekend anew and get rid of things that once were part of my life. But every now and then, I find a little piece of "memory" that amuses me or makes me smile, things I have long forgotten. Those are the things I for sure wanna keep and will take with me. Such as old "love letters, that I never sent", pictures from my childhood, letters from my great-grandmother sent to my grandmother, prices I won during my active time as a "junior jockey"... well I guess you get the pic.
Things I love to destroy... such as pics of old boyfriends, bad school tests, old school books....

Ah.. I give myself another month... then I wanna start renovating and then put the house on the market.. :o) (can't wait)

Every bag of garbage that I throw away, is a step closer to B'more.... that's all I have to keep in mind... to get me going... and.. so far, it works very well.. my mom would be proud of me ;) rofl..

DREAM BIG!
