I am torn… Clayton suggested that we schedule a Sunday Brunch and my brain went (!!!). Then he said “I really want to go to Cheever’s or something like that” and my brain said “Mmm…..biscuits.” But right after that my brain went, “OOOHH!!! Drag Brunch at the Boom!” And then my brain went, “Oh! Go to Local and enjoy the family-style brunch your brother-from-another-mother painstakingly designed!” And THEN my brain went, “Well, hell. If we’re going to new places there’s at least five popular brunches in Oklahoma City that you’ve not tried.”

Now I’m stuck. Where should we have Sunday Brunch?

I have TEN posts from this year that have been about 3/4 written then abandoned. Two or three in the last month. Please tell me I’m not alone in abandoning stories when life is super-mega crazy. What’s your draft box like?

Two weeks ago my buyer’s lender, a day before closing, said, “Hey buyer, you forgot _____.” It took a week for them to get the document, then it took nearly a week for their lender to process everything and they got the clear to close.

Yesterday afternoon, I learned their lender repeated this, “Hey, you forgot ______” 3 or 4 times this week and they don’t have a clear to close.

We have TWO houses packed and waiting to move, utilities scheduled to cut or already cut, movers (pay and volunteer) scheduled.

Because of MY lender on the house we’re buying making some last minute requirements, I financially *have* to close before I sell. Unless I can pull $1,000 from the sky (which isn’t much money compared to the grand total but it is a lot when your other $17k is spoken for in the rest of the transaction).

At 8am I’m blending my Daddy’s good old boy attitude and stubborness along with my Mama’s, “You know what, I really don’t give a shit what you think….FIX IT” attitude and calling down the list of people involved with this transaction.

Something’s got to give. Any suggestions are appreciated.

PS – If you happen to want to buy a house, I highly suggest you avoid PrimeLending (http://www2.primelending.com/).
