Watchin' our every move, hope some day they might approve...

The wait for loan approval continues, and it sucks. My closing date is a week from today, and hopefully, hopefully (hopefully), things will work out. And hopefully I won't have to provide the bank with a detailed account of every waking second of my life for the past 2 months, as well. We're getting closer, but still not quite there. And I've not even met them! (Hmmmm, maybe I should--I'll have to ask my loan dude about that.)

The weekend went alright. It started on Friday just after work with a dash over to my loan dude (not to be confused with the Dude), to pick up some paperwork, and get a status report. The paperwork necessitated a mad dash to the bank, at which I arrived at 6:03 p.m. The worker standing behind the counter, on the other side of the locked outside door, moving his finger across his next in a cutting fashion, pointlessly re-iterated to me that they closed 3 minutes before. So, after that I went at vegged at home for about an hour before heading out to see Clerks II (which was good & funny, in the Kevin-Smith, try to be gross funny, that is it; and so not a movie for kids, really).

Saturday and Sunday I woke up way-too early (for a weekend) to go help out at a swim meet here in town. I got to learn how to use a Colorado Timing System (ooooh, aaahhh, I can hear you saying now), which almost made up for the fact that I was told to be there 30 minutes earlier than I probably needed to be. After the morning session of the meet each day, I was free. Saturday, I went into work for 4 hours to clean up some stuff. (Do you know that the College of DuPage uses the acronym C.O.D.; which I find amusing both for its cash-on-deliver meaning and its fishie variant--particularly since I was looking for swimming team information?)

I also went on a fruitless trip to a mall, went on a much more productive but tag-along trip to another mall, ditched out of a third (semi-pre-planned trip) to a third mall (cause I was too tired), and got to have a Sydney's Sinful Sundae at Outback on Saturday night (and some nice hang-out, cool, dinner conversation). Oh, and I caught Psych on Friday (he grew up in San Antonio too), Fallen and the 4400 on Sunday night (somewhat impressive, given they were on at the same time). So all-in-all, a good weekend.

Oh, and from last Wednesday, Vincent should have been "auf'd" (but I'm not terribly upset that Malan got the boot instead, tho I don't understand why they can't all just get along!).

All they seem to do
Is be checking up on you, baby (baby)

Think someday they might approve, maybe (maybe)
