don't mess with me, mr. loan guy

 

It was a fairly un-shenanigany weekend in these parts, but this should be a shenanigan filled week! Why? WE CLOSE IN ONE WEEK! If you put it in writing, it has to be true...right? That's what I'm hoping. We ran into some snags on Friday that kept me on the phone with Chase and my loan guy all day. Apparently it was missed that one of my credit cards is in my name, but under my mom's account. The fact that I haven't used that card more than 2 times since I graduated from college THREE YEARS ago doesn't seem to matter. So we had to have Chase cancel the card and send a fax to the loan guy telling him that, and now they have to re-pull my credit to make sure that it went through. All the while the loan guy was telling me that this meant our closing would be delayed. CUE THE EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN.

 

I wanted to say: "Listen up, buddy. We have been living with my parents for a month. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS LIKE? And I have pretty cool parents, too! But we need our own place. NOW. If you delay this closing, I will have an emotional breakdown. EVEN BIGGER THAN THE ONE I AM HAVING NOW."

 

But what I said was: "Is there anything you can do to make the closing happen on time? We've already scheduled the movers and all the services, so we would really appreciate it!"

 

A mean one, I am. I WISH. But alas, he had our closing date wrong, so apparently we are good to go. We freaking better, because the fridge, the couch, ALL OF OUR BELONGINGS, internet and cable are all being delivered/installed on Tuesday. If I have to unscheduled all that, I just might turn into a mean one.

 

Back to this weekend. Maybe the above info is the reason that I got sort of tipsy sitting on the couch by myself at 12:30 on Saturday afternoon. But like I said...just maybe.

 

1: We met up with my friend Haylie & her boyfriend Drew at Little Woodrow's in The Heights for dinner & drinks. I am SO excited to be in the same neighborhood as those little cuties so soon. So much fun to be had!

2: Truffle-laced parm fries & a grilled cheese. mmm...carbs.

3: Cuddle time with a certain mama's boy.

4: Morning coffee on a trip to Ace with my mama. What, you don' repeat outfits?

5: Madre and I are NYC ready! A flight arriving at 11:30pm requires these to be in our carry on.

6: My new favorite drink ever. I did it, I found my go to drink. That they may not have in any bar outside of Texas. Whatever.

7: Paint testing out! We are going with the top left (Bunny Gray) in the living room, kitchen and dining room and the top right (Paris Rain) in the bedroom. Oh, and we are doing it ourselves now. Should make for some fun blog posts.

8: I turned this mirror...

9: ...into this one! I used some of the sample paint (White Ice) and then I sanded it down (not pictured) for a distressed look. I'm in love. And the mirror was free. Doesn't get much better than that.

 

 

And I'm not going to end this post with some ridiculous statement like "I'm going to blog every day this week!" because we all know THAT would be a flat out lie. Maybe if I don't say it, it will actually happen?
