Done With Signing

Current Mood: Tired
Current Music: None

We just finished our signing, there was a TON of paperwork. Apparently what we have is a home equity line of credit, not a home equity loan. Same thing basically only you only take out what you need when you need it. *shrugs* Whatever, it’s money, and we’re refinancing here in a few months anyway.

The roofer dude came out too with hubbys dad, we didn’t meet him but hubbys dad said that the guy seemed to know his shit and would give us the final estimate here pretty soon.

We’re looking at people to work on my car, hubbys dad suggested someone. The guy does engine work and body work. We might let him do the engine work but I want to see a car he’s painted before I allow him to paint my car. My father and grandfather were both painters, I was raised around it, going to car shows, watching dad paint, when it comes to car paint I know my shit. I’m inspecting his work before he goes near it. 🙂 There’s a guy that does painting as a hobby that hubby knows, I’ve seen two sample’s of his work and they are AWESOME, better than my dads even, so he can touch my car. 🙂 We’ll see, I’m quite picky when it comes to my Datsun. I’m one of those “Don’t touch the paint” people! Skin oil is hard on paint jobs you know, especially fairly fresh one’s. 🙂

I got an e-mail from my dad today. I told him about the loan and stuff, I knew he’d be excited. He said that my step-sister has changed her plans and will be getting married in Oklahoma. Everyone is happy, they were telling me her boyfriend is a bit controlling and doesn’t seem to want to share her with her family. They seem to think that’s the reason he wanted her to go to Maine so badly. It wasn’t like my situation where my fiance already had a good job and a house and it just made sense. This guy didn’t have anything, he lived with his parents and worked at wal-mart. I don’t know if what my family is saying is entirely true, they can be a little weird but I’ve never met the guy myself so I can’t say. She’s head over heals for him though so I hope she’s made a good decision, for her sake.

I haven’t mentioned the news of the loan to my mom, I don’t think I will. I think my mom is jealous of how well we’re doing. She acts funny any time I ever bring anything up. It’s not like I brag or flaunt I just let her know we’re doing okay. My dad likes to hear this kind of news, he’s proud of how well we’re doing. She acts almost like it’s my fault she doesn’t have everything she wants sometimes. She’s held the fact that I moved in with my dad shortly after they moved into the house they’re in now over my head because she says she only bought it so I could be in the the better school district, then I moved out to live with my dad and they were left with a mortgage for a house they didn’t need. Well hell, I didn’t KNOW they bought that house so I could be in that district, the house they lived in before was in that district too, it just wasn’t quite as nice. *shrugs* I don’t know, they made their decisions, I was just the 15 year old kid, I can’t be held responsible. I try to just ignore those remarks and move on. She’s said she’s proud of us before too, kind of out of the blue, that she’s happy her daughter turned out so well so. *shrugs* She confuses me. Maybe she was drinking, who knows, she gets sappy and says weird things when she’s been drinking.

Oh god, that reminds me, my mom, jeez. She seriously, she gets into these sappy tell all moods when she’s drunk. She told me about her mother one night, how the grandma I’ve always known isn’t my real grandma and that she doesn’t know who her real mom is. That same night she also admitted to me that I was an accident. Great, thanks, now I can live with knowing I was a mistake. That really helps morale. 🙂 I don’t get weird when I drink, thank goodness. Well, I get funny, cynical, giggly. But at least I don’t get all sappy.

Anyway.

I’m going to go take a shower now.

AGH!!!!!!!!! I’d like to slap your mom upside the head! That is waaaaaaay too much information for you, even though you are an adult. There are some violations of parent-child boundaries that should NEVER occur.

congrats on signing! My mom was usually on the belligerent side of things when she got drunk, which was often when my sister and I were there…but she still kicked ass at cribbage and scrabble…it was odd. Anyways, take care 🙂 ~

Hmm, fun stuff. My mom used to be a mean drunk, telling my sister and I how our father abused her and was mean and allll sortsa stuff that wasn’t true. May she rest in peace, the drink she drunk was one too much. Anyways, glad to hear everything is going so well. 🙂

*points two notes up* I didn’t know she’d left a note as well, lol. Funny how we both sound so similar, neh?
