mac gloat for the day - all text spellcheck!!!
Anyway, I did have a point to write about tonight: Research, whether via google or B&N, supports most major decisions I make. I'm not going to make a significant commitment without investigating multiple sources for advice. I found my home inspector online. I'm uploading realtor pictures to the web cloud for dissemination. I almost spilled my cinnamon mocha on the stack of books (about mortgages) and magazines (about modern interior design). Almost.
Anyway, none of it really stuck in my head until my realtor and loan officer dropped a stack of papers in front of me. Papers with horizontal hairlines at the bottom of every page. That line requires my total signature. This isn't C. Leslie signing for that cinnamon mocha. This is Christina E. Leslie committing to yes, she gives this realtor the right to negotiate on her behalf in this transaction. That she'll pay a specified dollar amount (totaled in the "truth in lending statement" - Rachel wasn't kidding when she said to brace for that) over the next 30 years.
I haven't even experienced 30 years yet ... do the first 3 even count because I barely remember them anyway?
Short of my membership vows, this is the most significant commitment I have ever made ... it's public record!
