Improg word of the week, Nonsense

Nonsense! That is our word for the week, so basic it should be easy to work with, but yet here I sit struggling with where to take it! There is so much nonsense in our great country today, but I don't want to get political. There is so much nonsense around the world with the price of oil and the access to medicine, but I don't want to go there either. So once again I am going to stray from the norm... I know Hayley you are shocked!! I am going to make reference to home staging and say that the number one most important rule about selling you house is to make sure it has "non-scents"!!

Strange smells are one of the most obvious to buyers and almost never noticed by occupants. So a word to the home seller: ventilate, ventilate!! And Clean!! And if need be remove your carpet and paint your walls! Whatever it takes to make you place smell neutral, or my new word "non-scents"!

Good luck and happy house selling!

Word of the Day, Knockers!

I am on a mission to BLOG about these words in a way least expected. So here it is:
Miss Hayley passed along this great word Knockers, and as a breast cancer survivor of almost 3 years, it has an obvious meaning. Today I am going to talk about the less obvious meaning. As a Real Estate Home stager and house "flipper" I want to talk about the knockers that people put on doors. Now in the country where doorbells are not commonplace, I get why people have door knockers, but in town where doorbells abound, what the heck did anyone ever need to install the knocker for? This is a most perplexing question!!

I am on a mission to flip and stage the stupid ugly walmart knockers off the doors of American houses which already have doorbells (sorry if I have offended anyone, who adores their walmart knockers)! It also goes naturally with the other meaning for knockers, and my word to the wise is- if you are in need of knockers of all kinds... avoid the cheap budget friendly version and opt for the classier expensive version!!

Fair

The improg word of the day: Fair, what is fair? I can't even figure out the real meaning of that word anymore after having cancer at 32. So I am going a different direction... Fair is the crazy time of year (in late July and early August around here) when people watching is at its finest. The annual county FAIR is an excuse for so many people to put on too tight of jeans, drink too much alcohol and forget that this isn't Las Vegas, what happens here, we laugh about all year! So my tip for the day is that when the fair comes around this year remember to wear loose pants and drink lots of water (not beer) because this IS a small town and you will hear snickering all year long if you forget to mind your drinking at the fair!
