I aim to please

I switched the colors around for fonts and background. Is this easier to read?

And added more posts per page.

I aim to please.

On the house front, we are in the middle of finding a lender who will not charge us $8700 in closing costs. Someone quoted us that and I swear I felt angina at the exact moment that I scrolled down to the “Total estimate of settling costs”. I then went straight into coronary arrest when I read the “Estimated Total Monthy Payment”, which was exactly 4 times what we are paying for our current house.

Taxes were estimated at 3 times what we are paying now, and insurance was almost triple.

THIS IS TEXAS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT Wells Fargo, not California.

We are meeting with someone else tomorrow to see if we can get some accurate numbers. The ones we got today are from Mars, I swear. Or maybe I am from Mars. Or Mayberry. Or maybe the town we are moving from has been in some kind of a time warp and I am just stepping into 2007 and the realities that most people face.

I mean, it is not like we are trying to buy a house with a pool in it, right? ;*)
