We have not heard from the real estate agent yet. I'm working hard to find any distraction available so this is what you get.
My husband has me completely figured out. I know this for sure more then ever now because of this picture. Go ahead click on the link and see just how awful a job he did here. When I load the dishwasher you can fit many many dishes in the dishwasher - entire meals worth even. What is wrong with this picture:
1. the bowls - not only are they on the lower level they are not near each other not nested for the best efficiency
2. the dinner plates - also not nested correctly or even in the same rungs
3. the salad plates - NOT even facing the same DIRECTION
4. this is really rediculous but I always put the silverware in the container a certain way - all the spoons together - all the forks together, knifes, misc...it's anal but there is a method to my madness.
The thing about this that really gets me going is that you aren't fitting much in a dishwasher loaded in this way - in addition putting the dishes away is even MORE time consuming because they are not ORGANIZED. Am I crazy here? Do you have a process to loading your dishwasher? 
And honest to goodness doesn't Teddy on the rocking chair just exhaust you. You would have thought I had him pushing the vacuum cleaner all morning and using his paws as scrubbers in the bathtub in the early afternoon. He just loves to snuggle up in any chair and waste the day away. Oh, to be a cat.
For the record. I am not even mildly distracted from the fact that we haven't heard back about an offer on our house.

i have a system and i get pissed off when someone messes it up !!!
No system really...just a general idea of how it should be done. As long as he is using space efficient I tend to ignore it when he does it his own way.
I think my heart missed a beat when I saw the dish washer picture. Holy crap. My anal self wants to reach into the computer and fix it. Jimmy is forbidden to load the dish washer. I think the FH should have the same rule in your house :)
My husband and I do not agree how to load the dishwasher. I bring him in for the spacial issues at times, but for the most part, I have my methods and don't screw with them. Half the time I have to rewash things after he loads them because they don't come clean.
Why is it that the people who need a good stiff drink are the people who aren't allowed to have one?
I'm equally as anal as you when it comes to dishwasher organization! There is one way, and one way only to load our dishwasher to allow for prime space-saving and washing efficiency. My husband actually gets it pretty good MOST of the time (and I'd never set a rule that he shouldn't load the dishwasher...that would just mean more dirty work for me!). My MIL, however, does NOT load my dishwasher correctly. Usually after she's babysat, if dishes have been involved, I have to go into the dishwasher and completely reorganize the whole thing. A-N-A-L.
I am not as anal as you with the dishwasher. Not all the silverwear has to be matched together, but all the bowls and plates DO! Hubby isn't allowed to touch the dishwasher either. He has no clue. I think the men do it on purpose.
I swear men are either programmed deficient of spatial relationships or they are actually smarter than we give them credit for and learned the easiest way out of housework!! I have to reorganize his feeble attempt at loading, as well.
We do have a "process" to our dishwasher, but it took a while to get into a groove.
The latest thing in our washer is that forks MUST be placed pointy side UP--this was SciFi Dad's request, as they get stuck as you try to slide out the drawer and this would drive him nuts.
