pins and needles
(More talking about the house stuff.)
Still waiting for word. It's entirely possible that the payoff figures were lower than estimated, especially the one from the EMC™*, so we might still be okay for the deal to go through (with the appraisal being lower than expected). The underwriters for the loan were apparently supposed to examine everything this weekend and I was supposed to have word yesterday, but didn't, so I need to call today. (Which, as y'all know, is my favourite thing to do.
NOT.)
*=Which, by the way, I may yet take off the "Evil" part of that moniker, because the turnaround time on the payoff figure was only 5 days, as opposed to a month like the previous time we tried to get the mortgage refinanced. (Unless they
don't halt the whole sale process, in which case they will be Supreme Evil™.) We tried calling the "Executive" hotline number on Saturday morning, but just sat on hold for a half-hour. We also tried the Customer Service number, and the CS person (much better manners than previous) gave us a phone number for the "Loan Resolution" center. They were closed for the day, so we need to try it during the week. They're in Mountain Time though, so it makes for very weird hours here in my time zone.
On the same subject, I got a weird notice also that unless the property tax payments were brought current, they would have no choice but to consider the loan defaulted. WTF? Did they not notice they're currently trying to
foreclose? And and, when we checked out our loan status on the new website, all of the mysterious charges and fees are still listed on the payment history… but have been all zeroed out. It just keeps getting weirder.
Probably not unrelated is the fact that I've got acid creeping up to the top of my throat. Hello, Ranitidine.
Anyway. I'm excited for my trip next weekend… Working on a specal present for the baby. I'll post pics after the fact. :D
By the way, the soundtrack to
Monsoon Wedding rocks my socks.
is
this just not enough…?
