If it wasn’t for bad luck, we wouldn’t have any at all
You know, every month I have high hopes that 2009 will turn around and apologize for being so crappy, perhaps with a dozen peonies or a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies. And then, BAM! The first day of the new month is extra, super-duper crappy and has spit in my beverage. June, I will end you. July, consider yourself warned.
Ugh, so much crappiness. Good thing for me, I can vent here! (Too bad for you.) Unemployment, a cat with a mouth tumor that gets drained by the vet (who has no clue what it is but of course mentions cancer) and then reappears less than two weeks later; a car that inexplicably leaks alarmingly large amounts of what appears to be coolant and then upon refilling said coolant, shows no signs of leaking; refusal of our mortgage lender (GMAC) to refinance us, or in the case of us finding another lender who will, refusing to subordinate our loan so we can. Hey, would you like to discuss the many, many failures of Obama’s HOPE for Homeowners Act for those who are trying to be proactive and refinance their adjustable rate ARMs before they reset, and have excellent credit and no late payments but a crappy-ass appraisal that ruins everything? BECAUSE I WOULD.
KBKBKBKBKKKKKZZZZZZRSSSSHHHHH
(Sorry. That was my head exploding in a giant splat of stress, anger, and general poutiness.)
In other news, Jason is running his first 5K in a few weeks and I am so excited for him! Super excited. I can’t wait to cheer him on.
And last night, the dog ran upstairs for a drink of water and we hid in another room just to see what he would do. And it was freaking hilarious. You could tell he was wondering, “Bwaaaaah?” And when he walked past the room without coming inside (after checking the other rooms) and we burst into hee-hawing guffaws, he came galloping toward us and you don’t have to speak dog to know he was saying, “You guys! There you are! I was so worried! Also, you’re a pair of bastards!”
Ugh sick pets suck the big one! I definitely know that feeling! And I’m sorry things aren’t getting better with your mortgage yet. The government’s response to the entire economy “issues” are starting to really get to me and I won’t even go there.
However, yay Jason running a 5k!!! Super fun and good luck!
Also, I LOVE your dog. Seriously. LOVE!!!

I am so sorry about the mystery diagnosis with your kitty. I am sending belly rubs.
I would be frustrated as all hell with your mortgage situation. You guys are doing EVERYTHING right and getting poohed on. There has to be SOMETHING out there to help. Until then, I am sending you hugs.
My, God. Shorty is awesome. And so are you guys. I can just imagine you guys hiding from him, trying not to giggle out loud and blow your cover. Hee!

God, I’m sorry things just continue to be shitty for you. You need any heads bashed in, you let me know.

Oh man. All of this sucks so much. Maybe your year will be divided into halves. The first half sucks, and the second half will be amazing. Right? Starting July 1?

Well, even with stress, anger, and general poutiness, you can still mess with your dog. And that is a good thing.

All hail Hide and Go Seek: the Dog Version. AWESOME.
And I’m so sorry about your mortgage situation. That just sucks. I think you should take up Parkingathome’s head bashing offer. She’s all up with the righteous indignation and pregnancy – I bet should could do some SERIOUS damage.
Hugs.

All of that is awful! I agree with Sarah, the government’s response to the economic situation has not been what I had hoped to see. It seems like in mortgage and credit card situations, people who are trying to be proactive and ask for help BEFORE they get into real trouble are getting penalized. We’ve had issues with some credit card companies.
I really hope things turn around for you guys soon. If there’s anything I can do to help, just let me know. In fact, I’ll email you. There may be one thing I can do.
On the plus side, running a 5K is hella impressive and hiding from your dog is hilarious. I can just see Shorty’s face when he found you!

We used to play hide and seek from Baxter all the time. It was actually great fun. Then I started to hide and pop out to scare him until I realized that was just asking for trouble. Hide and seek had to stop when we got 2 dogs b/c Sam isn’t smart enough to understand.
Enough about me – I hope the suckage stops soon for you guys. Enough is enough already.

“Also, you’re a pair of bastards!” LMAO. I heart you. I hope your month (and year) get much, much better.
