That was just horrible of the lender. He should have known what kind of loans he could give before he told you to close on the house. I hope you get to see your hubby soon, I don't know what I'd do if I was away from my hubby for more than a couple hours. I guess I'm spoiled that way... but I have to get used to it soon because he'll be going to Iraq to work on military vehicles.

Thanks Phoenixstarr...We're trying to work with other lenders right now. Hopefully something will work out soon. My hubby said that if something doesn't work out soon, he'll come home. I used to be spoiled like that...I'm hoping to be spoiled like that again soon. Hopefully your hubby won't be in Iraq that long. It's terrible being without them for a long time.

You girls are tougher than I am. By the time hubby's been gone about 12 hours or so I really start missing him. You'd think that after all these years I'd be ready for a break, but I kinda like havin' him around! :p I hope you girls don't have to be without your husbands for too long (or too much longer).


On the party news...we're finally having this stinking birthday party - tomorrow! It's expected to be 60 degrees today, but what about tomorrow? Oh, 40 with a 40% chance of rain. Super lovely. But at this point I don't care. I went to the store last night and got all of the veggies I need for the veggie tray and the tacos. Today I'm baking the cakes and getting everything chopped up. Hopefully tomorrow I won't have too much to get done - picking up chips & ice, browning & seasoning the meat, and putting everything out on the tables.

Thanks...I'm glad you think I'm tough. Sometimes I really don't think so.

Good luck on the party! I hope all goes well for you.

I'm irritated again. What's new, right?

Well, yesterday I planted tomato and pepper plants and planted some seeds in starter pots. Well, the wind had to blow 100mph last night and blow every single pot over. I'm too scared to go out and see if all of my plants are snapped in half! I have the WORST timing!
