day 49/365 no joy today

day49, originally uploaded by Darolyn Hamada.

I'm taking a short break from the Joy of Love pictures. Mostly because we don't really go out much so I didn't have any pictures to take while out. We stayed in tonight (like most nights), and some good friends came over, drank wine, and played Mah Jong. We're new to the Mah Jong circuit. But my friend has been playing all her life. I like it. It takes your mind off things for the moment.

On my mind? We've been sort of trying to sell our house (no listing, just through one realtor who has potential buyers, so not really trying hard).  We want to buy another house that's bigger and has more "value" (or so says my husband) because it's really low right now and in a really nice neighborhood. We were close to getting an offer today, but the guy *responsibly* went to his financial planner who told him he didn't have the cash to do it without selling a bunch of things that he really wouldn't be able to sell at the last minute, like his house. He had planned to not sell his current house -- who does that? Tries to buy a house without selling their present house??? Anyways, we didn't get an offer and now the house we want will probably get snatched up quickly because it's price was reduced a lot today. Oh well, here's to timing.
