warning this post is written free-form, I will need to edit it later

yesterday ended up being pretty exciting.. and when I say exciting I am not refering to in the exciting way... started with getting here a little late, and fighting some issues at work, but for the most part I felt pretty good. then about 10am I got a call from the loan lady who told me that the lender for my new house, said that they wanted to see "reserves" in my bank account that totaled another 8K this is on-top of the 12K I had already put towards this whole deal... To say that I was stressed would be the understatement of the year... when I told her they had already tapped me out, she told me "well then I guess we are not going to close" dumping it all on me as if I knew about this the whole time and should have been prepared for it. I told here I would make some calls, but I did not have high hopes. I of course called L first to run everything by him. I told him that they only needed to see the money in there until the end of close... thursday.... ya thats right 2 days... he didn't understand that, heck... I didn't understand it.. after we talked about it, he said he would call his mom, to see if they might be able to help, and I called jim and my mom. Mom just to let her know what was going on since she has been so awsome in this whole deal, and jim to just bounce some ideas off him, see if he could give me any insite... My mom was more than a little upset, which is totally understandable in my opinion, waiting till the last hour to spring somthing like this on us is totally unreasonable. I told her I would work on seeing if I could get it taken care of. I got jims v-mail and just told him that I wanted to run the process by him to see what he thought, working for a bank and being one of the most intelegent people that i know I was sure he would have something that would at least shed some light on this whole crazy process... later when I did get ahold of him late in the eveing he told me that, most smaler lenders, have a check list that they go through in order to sell your loan, and as he explained this to me, it started making sence... in the beggning when we told these people there would be no reserves they said, oh ya... no big deal... but it wasn't until that they started going their checklist so that they could sell the loan that it became a requirement... there are a bunch of other really messed things that have happened with this house, but I just don't have the energy to go over them all right now, I hope to write about them later, maybe backdate the post.

after talking to everyone I could think of, I thought I had run out of options... I was talking to my frind eric that I work with, and he offered to loan me the money... to say I was flabergasted was the understatement of the year. long story short... (to late) it turns out that it would cost him 3$ for 3 days to loan me the money... I plan to return the money friday with intrested, and figure out somthing I can do for him, espically since his b-day is coming up.. He got me the money, I put it into my account, got the documentation to the morgage people, by this time it was 4pm. I was really starting to stress out because the seller was supposed to sign his part of the paperwork. about 9pm last night I got a call from gina my realitor, and she relayed to me everything that she had heard, that the documentation is supposed to be at title this morning, and I am supposed to sign as soon as they have it, the money will be wired, and I should be able to get keys and move in on friday............ WOW... thats the first time I have said that... I am going to move in on friday.... to MY house.... WOW... well that was my stress yesterday, inbetween there I went to dinner with loren and had a giant margarita to calm me down. and went home and fixed the media center pc finally, today I guess I get to switch utilities today that should be a good time... er somthing.

on a unrelated note, the new guy they hired for my team, is SUPER sharp, I am really looking forward to his thoughts and ideas, I just hope he stays. I think thats it for now... got to get some work done before the title company calls I suppose
