We didn't close on the house yesterday. Somehow some form that HAS to be done for the USDA loan wasn't done. That's right. The bank missed having me sign a form. Thus the whole thing is put off. I'm terrified I won't get my loan at all now. I want to beat a banker in the head. The girl in charge of my loan now swears everything is going to be okay but..ugh.

Thank god it's almost the weekend.

i know what it takes

Tomorrow I close on the house. I am terrified of the hidden fees that might be associated with this fact. I'm not sure if I've mentioned I'm a broke person buying a house but yeah, I'm a broke person buying a house. I've had more "surprise" costs hit me in the past week than I care to talk about. (IE: Your taxes and insurance will be in escrow so you have to pay your entire years worth of insurance RIGHT NOW. me: (faint)...((not really but I seriously felt it))) I emailed my banker today with a "hey, can you give me a heads up on any fees I'm going to have to pay tomorrow so I don't throw up all over my contract or tell y'all I'm going to be right back after I go hook on the corner for awhile?"...

I'm really excited. It's really mixed up in my life right now like I mentioned before. Everything going on with my aunt has been a little crazy. My dad is upset he can't come to my house closing with me. My brother is coming instead. Since he bought a house just a few months ago he knows more about what to watch out for than I do. I just can't wait until it's like "Okay, here's your keys Susan" in two weeks. (Did I mention they wanted 2 weeks after closing to get their crap out? I think they had a bad experience with something falling through at the end). Tomorrow my brother will go through my final walk through with me (Fly is working) and the huge pile of asphalt should be gone.

After tomorrow I'll be able to breathe again and just plan on stuff for the house. I'll get to start packing and planning. As Fly said we'll really get to start our life together in our own place. My cost of living is going to drastically decrease. I won't have to choose which bills to pay and which to let slide again. My credit score may actually become...good. Shocking, I know.

Everyone wish me luck tomorrow. I'll let you know of any surprises.

It's hard to be excited about the house.

Yesterday my Aunt died of a sudden heart attack. She had been sick for awhile but it still wasn't expected. She was 68. This is the second close family member I've had die in two weeks. It's kind of strange to be where I am right now. I'm so excited about the new house and yet I can't be anything but sad with the death seeming to surround my family.

I need it to stop. If you're superstitious, though, it won't until it claims one more.

I am not superstitious.

Rest in Peace, Mary Ruth...May life beyond the veil be beyond anything you ever dreamed.

i'm out of touch

You know how people tell you "Once things get rolling it'll all fly by"? I found out yesterday they're so not kidding! The biggest update is we're closing on the house on Thursday. Yes, THURSDAY. As in less than a week from today THURSDAY. I am so excited and in a slight state of disbelief that this is all happening. I'm just excited that I'll be moved in before Christmas--before New Years--before my birthday!!

Now begins the sorting through things to decide what I need, what I don't want to keep, what isn't necessary to keep me happy and a few other things. Also I've started a list of new things I want. As in I'm not taking my old broken down waffle maker into my brand new house. I'm also getting a coffee pot that automatically cuts off before Fly burns the house down.

Today I'm going to get the forms filled out for insurance and OMG I can't believe this is really happening.

Much love to ALL OF y'ALL! :)

please don't leave me

I have nothing to talk about anymore it seems. I sometimes wonder if I ever did. Okay, that's a lie. I have about 1.7 billion things to talk about but I just never have time anymore. I'm going right near crazy because of all this bank business. I'm seriously convinced they want me to die. They don't want me to be happy, healthy and wise. If they did they'd already have me signing paper work and tell me everything I need to know to get things done. They wouldn't be allowing me to lose multiple hours of sleep wondering if at the end of December I'm going to have to move into Fly's ultra tiny apartment that "needs some work".

Saturday night I hit a deer. I did no damage to me and Fly swore I did no damage to the deer. I made him go back in the daylight and check for blood or a dead deer by the road. Neither were found. It was a relief.

I was going to go for the whole blog every day for the month of November thing but yeah...Yesterday came and went without any attention from yours truly. I figured seeing as how all this house business is supposed to go down I should pass on additional stress.

Did I mention if everything goes as planned we're supposed to close on the house in 16 days?

Diet Cherry 7up is one of my new favorite things.

Ah Monday. Let's roll.
