I've been working nonstop on the photography stuff all week, and looking forward to relaxing a bit, and maybe getting some new ones of my own kids. Xander's hair is still growing and becoming quite a fro of curls.

I am also actively trying to get our rental house occupied. I'll get a call to see the place, run over there, and sit out front for 15 minutes to confirm yet another no show. Its like the kids ringing the doorbell and making a run for it, and I'm looking for the bag of flaming poo.

I should start a list of clues potential renters give that serve as red flags. All of these have presented so far :

1. Smoker voice. And a pause of silence when told it is non-smoking. 2. When told a credit check will be done, "yeah we are waiting for social security to get approved, and we are trying to sell our home before it gets taken, but we will make 42k on the sale." 3. "Credit check? oh (sigh of disappointment)." 4. "I'm self employed." 5. "Heres the thing..."

And I am most leery of callers who immediately say, "Hi, I'm calling about the house for rent and how do I get an application?" With no mention of wanting to see the place first. Granted all of those callers are spanish speaking, so it might just be a language barrier thing.

Hubs created a website just for the rental. Anyone want to move?
