My life was turning a corner--ages 18 to 24, were one big blur for me-- all of a sudden BAM, it was staring me right in the face...the BIG 2-5! I wasn't scared, in fact, I was everything but. I decided that this year was going to be the year that I conquered my fears, soared to new heights, let go of the past so i could forge ahead! I resolved to cancel my membership to the "I pay a mortgage for rent and I'm a sucker"club and buy a house; stop tiptoeing around this dating thing, jump in with both feet and snag my man; give my dogs a well-deserved rest, burn my Smartrip Card (DC Transit Pass), get a license and a car. I said to myself "Self, big tings a gwan" (much respect to my Jamaican brethren! lol).Oooooo and it couldnt have gotten off to a better start...
By early March...
- I had a realtor, mortgage broker, mortgage loan pre-approval letter for $200,000 and had just put a contract on "the house"
- A sweet, caring, ambitious man with two good jobs hot on my trail
- A continually fulfilling new job
- And the lead on a highly recommended driving instructor
- I've had contracts on three different houses to date
- I've broken up with my mortgage broker b/c his lack of attention to detail cost me a lot of time and almost cost me my house
- All of my exes have decided that this is the best possible time to express their love and care for me
- While, that great man has shown himself to be most inconsistent...sweet as pie and ever present one minute, and MIA the very next
Big tings still a gwan...just not how I envisioned them...c'est la vie!
