No visit blues.

We were pretty disappointed that our friends we haven't seen for almost a year couldn't make the visit yesterday. But we survived, although it was hard. The good news though is that we will be meeting them 45 minutes from here on Sunday. Also, daughter got to talk with friend's daughter on the phone, something she was very happy about getting to do. Her friend said that she had tried to call but that we didn't answer the phone. Well, we think she must've been dialing the wrong number, because our phone never rang. Besides, we have an answering machine that would've picked up if say, we were outside. That's all moot now though, since they got to talk :-)

That was pretty much our whole day. The kids swam for a while, and me and the wife pretty much just hung around inside consoling ourselves. Telling ourselves that we WILL get this house sold sooner or later. It's just seems to be taking SO long. We've had it on the market since last August. I will say though that we've had quite a bit more interest this summer, since switching to Murney Realty. Unfortunately nobody has like it well enough to buy it. We do love this house and it's very comfortable. However, it's not close enough to the only real friends we've met in Missouri since we moved to this state in 2000. Sad but true. We're just not good at making new friends, especially when the neighbors don't seem to want to get to know us for some reason.

It's not sunny today at all. That doesn't make for very cheerful weather, does it? Not sure what our plans are to stay busy today. Got one more load of laundry to put away. It's in the dryer and it's ready. The dishwasher is running, so that'll eventually need to be emptied. The kitchen and bathroom trash cans aren't full yet, so those won't need to be taken out today. My wife is paying the bills as we speak. The reason she does that instead of me is because it depresses me horribly. Which is why she started doing it in the first place. It does depress her too, once she sees the amount we have left for the month, but she handles it MUCH better than I.
