That sucking sound you hear...

...is the hose attached to our bank account.

Because a) we just bought a house (I think...more on that later) and b) everything from here on out is tied up with the house---inspections, appraisals, weird fees I've never heard of (seriously, there's probably some funding for NASA buried in there.)

So, here's why I think (but don't "know" yet) we've bought a house. The seller (in this case, First Unethical Bank of California, as I mentioned in my earlier posts on the subject) sent us a purchase agreement. Our credits aren't as high as we would like, but since they're not pulling (yet) the dirty trick of forcing us to use them as the lender, I'm not all that inclined to fight it. Yet. So we talked it over with the realtor, agreed that the offer was fair, and signed it and sent it back. Depending on where we are in the seller's list of Things To Sign, we could find out in 3-5 days if they were really serious about accepting our offer. This is First Unethical Bank, so anything's up for question.

I hope we get this house. I hope we have the money to get this house. And I hope that if we are secretly funding NASA, that we get to Mars sooner rather than later.
