This weekend was one of those where a lyric from Bjork’s old band “The Sugarcubes†was going through my head. What’s the lyric? “Life’s both sweet and sour.â€Â  That’s the weekend in a nutshell.  Shortlist of “Sweet:â€Â
- A very good dinner at A and Noi on Friday.
- Went to the new Harry Potter movie on Saturday.
- Had a marathon viewing of the HBO series “Big Love.â€
- J bought me some Woodford bourbon.
- My brother Steve came over for dinner on Sunday.
- ProTools 7.3.1 with and Mbox means I have a home recording studio!
Shortlist of “Sour:â€Â
- After almost 3 months of open houses and a trickle of potential buyers, we’re still unable to sell our house. This is causing a snowballing of emotional lows in our house.
- Work…real estate…work…real estate…blech!
- Big fight with my daughter last night.
- Feeling unmotivated about life in general.Â
You put all that together and life’s not so bad — but sometimes the negative stuff really takes a toll.

Did you notice that your list of sweet is more than your list of sour? That says a lot in my book. 🙂
Sorry your house if taking so long to sell. I can empathize. It is very discouraging.
Also, sorry about your fight with Maya 🙁 The sweet of it is that she loves you and you guys will make up in no time 😉
Ai! This market! It is horrible! I’m so sorry you guys are having a hard time. You just want to sell and move on, and nobody is wanting to play.
As for Maya, I am afraid that even though you are so close, this is just the beginning of those teen years. But as a daughter, you always love your Dad, even if you fight.
Hugs to you, Py!
Oooooh! I like the header! It’s mod and funky! And kind of Peter max.
What’re your thoughts on “Big Love”? Are you watching the second season or first?
Blech. I heard a bit of the argument, but mostly I was on the phone with my mom. I hate that, though, fighting.
The real estate thing definately has me down. Sigh.
Yay to the good things, though! 🙂
What to say, what to say? As a mom, I want to make it all better for you, but know that I can’t and you don’t really need me to, but I still wish I could.
Sorry the house is taking so long to sell. That sucks! Hang in there. I’ve been addicted to “Big Love” too. It’s so strange and creepy, yet appealing at the same time.
Sorry about the fight with Maya. It seems like the terrible two’s resurfaces with a new face in the tween/teen years. Zoe and I argue a lot these days! OY!!!!
I’ve been getting a lot of good comments on the header. It’s all the work of Jefito! He designed the last one as well, but this new one just kind of showed up when I changed my template. 🙂
Thanks for all the kind words…Things are settling down, but, you know, you gotta vent sometimes. And that’s what blogs are for, I suppose.
“You put all that together and life’s not so bad — but sometimes the negative stuff really takes a toll”
Amen to that!
