And the rains have returned to the great Pacific Northwest

While wringing out my shoes and clothes from the weekend rains, I now remember why I continue to live in the great Pacific Northwest. The grey skies and dampness of the air and ground can be enough to drive a person crazy, but after living in Western Washington for 4 years, I sort of feel comforted by the wet weather. :)

Real estate and home maintenance

Why does preparing a home to put it for sale have to be so difficult? When I bought my first home in May, 2004, I thought that was one of the difficult times I had ever experienced, but as I prepare to put the same home on the market this fall, that particular process has been almost as painful. After a new roof, new gutters, new windows, new paint, etc., etc., I want to say "Enough is enough." Now, I think I have brought on much of this grief myself for trying to take on too much and not asking for help, but it certainly makes me never want to sell a home again.

Like I mentioned to several people already, maybe I'll get out of real estate altogether and go live under the bridge with the Fremont Troll in Seattle. :)

Varekia

In May, Cirque du Soleil put on Varekai in Marymoor Park, which is located in Redmond, WA. It was my first time to ever see a Cirque du Soleil performance, and even through the overpriced tickets and marketing hype, the show was entertaining.
