Whine List

Friends and acquaintances often remark that it must be great to be able to build a house and have everything "exactly the way you want it." These are the reasons why I want people to stop saying this to me:

• I am grown-up enough to no longer insist that everything be the way I want it.
• I have finally un-loaded our old house, the original money pit, and was not looking for another project.
• I have finally off-loaded our 2 (smart, caring, handsome!) dependents to outrageously expensive institutions of higher education and everyone is happy, happy with their situations. (See reason #2)
