Today we found out that the seller reluctantly accepted an offer to carry part of the loan on the house. We signed papers and the deal goes to the finance company tommorrow. It's not a done deal, but it is as close as it gets to being one. With any luck we will sign our financing papers tommorrow and possibly be in our house on Friday... the very day that I said was our last day we will wait. Irony...
I must admit that while I am thankful and relieved, I am not happy yet. I really won't be satisfied until I am sleeping in my own bed. I think that is the reason I was just ready to give up and find a rental. At least this way I will never have to deal with a landlord again. Did I mention I consider them scum of the earth?
In other news... I put in my two cents worth at the ballot box today. I voted for John Kerry for two reasons. One, I hate all incumbents. Two, I can't forgive Bush for invading Iraq when we should have been going after Osama. I think the Iraq war was waged for selfish reasons on his part, and he used lies to justify it to America.
However, at this point in the ballot counting I think Bush will win. America still wants a reckoning for 9/11, we are still bloodthirsty! Bush will continue(albiet foolishly) waging war. No one believes Kerry, and his former anti-war stance, as capable of bombing strange and different people into the stone-age. The mob must be pleased with a show of blood. Welcome to Nova Roma my plebian friends!
