I'm currently re-watching "Spanglish". If you haven't seen this movie, you really ought to. If, like me, you watched it years ago: you need to re-watch it.It's fantastic. I remember renting it because it was marketed as a comedy and being blown away about how un-funny it was. I don't mean this in a bad way. It was one of the most honest, neurotic, realistic, gripping and painful looks at how tenuous relationships can be. Or maybe that's just my relationships. Ha.
The acting alone in this movie is worth it. Tea Leoni bursting into tears after an orgasm? Fucking A. Adam Sandler screaming "I quit this job!". Brilliant.
In other news: no open houses this weekend. I was talking to my mom earlier in the evening and I said that I was exactly on the fence regarding selling my place. There are advantages if I sell it, and advantages if I don't. She said that I have the perfect set up: a place to go to. That's what my parents had. My main complaint has been that I don't see Michael enough during the week. He is a ten minute walk from where I live. I could be there every single night if I so decided.
Never in my life have I wanted this much space and I feel guilty for it. But who's to say that this isn't the best scenario? I cherish and love and covet the time that I am with Michael. But I relish and enjoy and revel in the time that I am alone.
I have the best of both worlds. What's so wrong with that?

I think I'll take your advice about that and adjust my Netflix selection. I thought it was supposed to be funny too. It was a good movie, but not as comedic as I was planning on. As for the housing issue, I like the idea of a place to go, and I get the 'feeling guilty' part. And I understand that not being totally sure what I really want part. I'm going to start counseling, wanna join me?
I tried counselling a couple of times. It didn't take. ;)
Sometimes I think the try to screw with your mind so you think you are going crazy and keep coming back.
LOL. Basically I had hopes of sorting out all my problems in the span of an hour vis a vis the therapist telling me what I should do to achieve an enlightened state of happiness and overall well being.
Turns out it's a lengthier process and you have to, like, work at it and shit.
Yeah I know, that sucks.
