Funny you say it that way. W was asking my about my new house:

W: "You have Corian?"
B4S: "Yep."
W (now frowning): "You have granite?"
B4S: "Yep, and a well."
W (now scowling): "You can keep the well."

She just knows how to look at things as half empty, not half full. She really does it to herself. That is a big reason we are getting D. That said, her house is a mess because I took a third of the contents. For some reason, she moved the kitchen table into the living room and now there is nowhere to sit in the kitchen. The kids are looking at her like she's an idiot. I haven't let her see my house, so her mind is free to make up any horrible (for her) scenario in her mind she wants to. Meaning, imagining how great my house is. The kids report it's great! I'll make sure those reports just keep on coming in!

I'll let her stew on that one for a few more months, if possible.
