i can't even believe that tomorrow cavin and i are going to be homeowners. i know tomorrow after closing and we're back in OUR house, i'm going to turn to cavin and say, "um, did we just buy...a HOUSE?"
i thought i was nervous last week! today, after going to the bank and getting a cashier's check for a large, insane amount of money, i can't sit still. my hands are shaking, and i'm constantly freaking, making sure i didn't misplace the check, or it didn't get stolen from my bag. and to top it off, my stomach hurts!
30 days ago, when we started counting down the days, cavin told me that the days were going to fly by - and they have. two weeks ago, i was telling myself that we were going to start packing up all of the kalat we've been accumulating while living at my parents' house, and start cleaning up. but did we do any of that? uh, no. but in our defense, we DID decide on a couch, which took a lot of discussion of the pros and cons, and we started going to stores that sold things we might need, to find out prices, and hey! we made a list! but in the famous words of
doug martsch, "but
the plan won't accomplish anything, if it's not implemented."
*sigh*besides this minimal preparation, i guess we've been trying to deal with this soon-to-be major change in our lives. let's see if i can recap the ways we (well, at least me) have been "coping": dinner at
cochon; drinks at
james; buying new
cell phones;
duran duran at the
mann (thanks bob&ga!); 3 pairs new shoes (for me); new clothes/coat (for me); taking crosby to the vet (is there such a thing as cat insurance??). so yeah, basically spending TONS of money before dropping major bones this friday. great way of "coping", right?
hopefully tomorrow everything will go smoothly: the seller will be moved out before walk-in and we're not waiting around, and that signing the paperwork won't result in me losing my patience (and getting carpal tunnel). if everything DOES go smoothly, i know the first thing i'll be doing: spending more money on built to spill tickets for both shows at
the troc in september (
perfect from now on, here i come!). i mean, i should get some sort of reward for successfully walking away from the house buying process only semi-scathed, right? hehe
