The house is on the market.

I'm trying to learn how to juggle.  It's been very hard for me.  I can't stop throwing the third ball out in front, instead of up.  Yesterday Scott was juggling....while we ran.  He juggled while jogging.  Show off.

This house is killing me.  I swear this place doesn't want us to be able to sell.  Saturday night we had a friend over to eat dinner and watch a movie.  During a break I went upstairs to get some coffee and our friend went to use the down stairs bathroom.  The toilet has given us issues before with continued water drainage.  I have replaced the stopper on it once already because it would trickle.  Well I guess this time there was a clog and the stopper stayed all the way open.  So the bowl kept filling until it flooded over.  3 people, several towels, a shut off value, snake pipe and 30 minutes later the issue was fixed.  We need a new stopper so this doesn't happen again.

I ran far far away from the house beast today by going to faire.  It was much fun but I was tired by the time I came home.  One hot bath and some CI and I was all better.  CI or USA network, maybe both is pissing me off.  CI has only been back on for about 5 episodes and now it's gone till November again.  Plus bringing on Jeff Goldbloom for the new season, gah ack no!

Oh the drama.  So the Marketing Director is no more.  Gone, poof!  The past few days everyone has been running around like a chicken with their head cut off.  Ok maybe not that bad, because that theatre has been through worse, but still scrambling.  You would be too if all deadlines were past due and say your opening show of the season was next Friday.  I guess my paychecks will be bigger for a while if I have to pull longer days.  That is one way to look at it.

Aside from the drama at the theatre, where it well belongs, our house stand still is , well......still still.  Riiggghhht.  Anyway, we meet with the Realtor today because we have to put the current home we are in on the market.  We can't sit around while value prices continue to drop.  Again, as we said before, the longer it takes to hear back about the Toll Brother mortgage the more it seems that may be a bust.  So we are going to throw our crap in storage and look at some back-ups while we are waiting. 

Most likely means we will have a longer apartment life time, especially if new construction is still on the top of the list.  Oh wanna hear some good news?  I made my first international sale this week!  Yay my items are over seas!  Cool huh?  A daughter in Spain bought a birdhouse for her father in Ireland.  Wacky I know.

More good news is my new soaps arrived too.  A little smaller then I had thought they would be, and not as pretty as the pictures, but a later review will tell if they serve their true purpose.  To clean well, and smell good!  Plus Renn Faire opens this weekend, whheeee!!!!  Half the Saturday group dropped out last minute, but eh.

1. My contacts have been bothering me.
2. My face keeps breaking out.
3. Work has become frustrating.
4. The house situation has yet to change for us.
5. The weather turned humid again...

The list could most likely go on and on, plus there is greater detail behind each example.  But we are not going into those on a public forum. 

I'm trying to remain positive about many things, really I am.  It just seems like the positive thinking isn't bringing solutions this way.  Last night I tried to put my mind on other things and joined Scott, Marc and Tom in moving some ASR furniture to Marc's room in Carroll County.  Last night showed me there might be a rash of frustrations going around.  However, other people sharing in pain is not going to make me feel better.  I'm not that kind of girl.

Maybe September will bring a change in the slump.
