What's going on in Tina Land, you ask? Why, I'll tell you.
-They are here again. There are 2 additional people in my house, making cupcakes and heating up my kitchen. I'm in my bedroom. It's a little cooler and quieter in here. I'm turning into Howard Hughes.
-Under the heading "Whoda Thunkit", Wells Fargo has turned me down as a cosigner for my daughter's student loans for the fall. Seems they have an issue with approving a woman in the middle of a divorce who has a car payment and just moved into a rental a few months ago. Funny how a credit score which could have gotten me a mortgage a few years ago, today isn't even good enough to be a cosigner. Her father has been unemployed for a year now - I'm not seeing any potential there. So, my kid is faced with the distinct possibility that she will have to drop out of school. Then, of course, there's the Mommy Guilt; the knowledge that if I had stuck it out with the Prophet for a few more years, this wouldn't be an issue (although it's entirely possible that I would have started consuming a substantial amount of prescription drugs and alcohol on a daily basis, and that would be its own issue). Nice, huh.
-Did I mention that it's hot in here?
-I've re-read "Zen and the Art of Happiness" twice since my BFF bought me a copy of my very own. Love it love it. It does get a little "master of your own universe" toward the end, but it still has some great little gems.
-I went to the Green Lantern the other night. I'm sad to say it has absolutely no Oscar potential, nor does it have Robert Downey; therefore, it will not be reviewed. I will give you one observation - the head of the Green Lantern Corps looks like a cross between Clark Gable and Mr. Spock.
-My blog buddy Kludge had a giveaway on his site and I didn't win.
-I never win anything.
-Nothing new to report on LB. I like him, and I'm pretty sure he likes me.
-I smell burnt sugar. I'm pretty sure my daughter probably just effed something up in the kitchen.
And it's only Monday.
Re: Wells Fargo-- try another bank? There's gotta be something... My slacker stepson (you've read about him on my blog) managed to get his step-son into Coastal Carolina University w/ everything paid except books and about $1500/year. His credit score is seriously in the 450-460 range... his wife's is even lower....
ReplyDeleteHas she tried to get loans on her own? You did right by stepping away from the prophet-- insane is no way to live.

I enjoyed you playing along. And I promise to do another one soon. Probably while you're knee deep in humus and tofu! :)
