- Prospective-apartment owner called early this afternoon to tell me that our co-signer (my mom) has atrocious credit.
- That’s not possible. My mom’s credit rocks.
- Turns out that one of the 3 big credit reporting agencies has somehow conflated my credit and my mom’s. Pulling credit with her SSN produces a report in *my* name, with both my and her credit.
- This is, needless to say, very, very bad for my mom.
- This is, one might say, a freaking catastrophe.
- No less than 15 phone calls ensued between me & GB and the property manager and owner.
- GB’s grandpa is our new co-signer. Maybe. Unless his credit comes up weird too. In which case, I give up.
- Did I mention we also don’t have proof of “income”? I have proof of student loans, which should be plenty, but apparently isn’t. GB has fabulous earning potential, but no “proof” right now.
- This whole process is ridiculously humiliating.
- Did I mention I’ll be 36 on Friday? I am So. Too Old. For This.
- In other things I’m too old for: I have cramps.
- Which means we seem to not be pregnant. Again. After, admittedly, only three months of trying. But still. I feel old.
- (See how I snuck that in there? Yep, we are. The rumors are true. Yes, I know that–if you know me in Real Life at all–you are now sitting there with your jaw agape, possibly drooling on yourself in confusion and disbelief. What can I say? It was, needless to say, GB’s idea, but it finally sounded good to me. I changed my mind.)
- (Yes, for the record, we are Trying with a capital T. Remember my OCD? I am temping, and charting, and all that
crapbeneficial stuff. Let us speak of this no more.) - I said today was a 2, though, and not a zero, and here’s why: because GB (still) rocks, and picks up my slack when I’m freaking out and can’t do anymore. And after dinner GB’s parents both came over and hugged me and told me they’re glad I’m their daughter-in-law. Sniff. That’s freaking awesome.
- I am almost positive that a bath will turn this day into at least a 2.5.

((((((((hugz)))))))) I am so sorry to hear about all that crap. We are all too old for that shit. It is enough to make me curse! I swear! I want to tell the credit agencies to fuck off and landlords to pull their heads out of their fucking arse and figure some shit out like not all people with crappy credit are going to trash their property.
I know this is little consolation but it will turn out okay. I am sure of it. And then once GB is raking in the big bucks lawyering you can tell all those bloodsuckers to get bent.
Also? For what it is worth, you are way more than a credit score (unfortunately, I know it doesn’t help you get a house). No one is going to go to your memorial service and say “Oh, that Luckybuzz was sweet, very, very smart and a beautiful human being but her credit su-u-u-cked.” And if they do, I’ll be there to punch them in the fucking throat!

Sorry about the cramps too. π¦
August 27, 2007 at 10:52 pm
Thanks, Trix. You freaking rock. π

I hope things improve soon! That does not sound like a good day at all. btw- I am 362 days older than you! (I’ll be 37 next Monday). Happy Early Birthday, Virgo!
August 27, 2007 at 11:02 pm
Hey, Addy N! Happy early birthday to you too! GB is a Virgo too. I love me the Virgo packs. π

Boo! on stupid credit mishaps. I hope they straighten things out quickly.
(Er, on the plus side, it would make an excellent Inquisition plea…)
And I’m not actually *drooling* on myself in confusion about the other news. π I hope the OCD comes in handy for plotting and planning, in this case!!
August 28, 2007 at 12:08 am
Margie, it totally would…if I had ANY money to submit to the Inquisition at all. π It’s okay, though….I’m telling myself I’m not ALL that tempted. (Uh, right…)
And thanks–I think the OCD is handy, but also (as usual) annoying too…

Wait, we’re trying to have a baby?
August 28, 2007 at 1:18 am
GB: Oh, well, *this* is awkward. Guess you kind of assumed that “we” was about you, huh?

August 28, 2007 at 6:39 am
GB cracks me up.
I’m so sorry about all the credit nonsense. I hope it’s all resolved soon.
August 28, 2007 at 7:17 am
Oh honey. I know how you feel. Trust me. It will work out. Im so ashamed to be this far behind. Honey, Im sorry about the cramps. We will talk. Because I have made the leap into comfortably stalking you whenever I can. I love you so much.
August 28, 2007 at 8:22 am
I hope the bath elevated the day to at least a 2.5, maybe a 3. Re: the cramps situation – been there, done that, call me or e-mail whenever you wanna talk. (((hugs)))
August 28, 2007 at 8:57 am
um. how did no one but gb comment on the baby making thing? how? you are sly. and wowwowwowowowowowww. yogini is in the shower and i interrupted just to tell her what i read. and we were in wonderment. and wowowwowowowowowow. ok. i’ve interjectioned enough for the whole gang.
August 28, 2007 at 9:59 am
First of all, OMG! PONIES! Count me among the people who is sitting here with my jaw agape. My fingers are *so* crossed for you guys that it is almost impossible to type this comment.
Second of all, WTF is up with teh cramps? I had THREE DAYS of cramps this week. And I’m an elder statesman compared to you. I am so. over. the reproductive cycle, I tell you.
Third of all, I am so sorry about the credit crap. I think the only solution is to start throwing teh sheeps at the credit agency and the landlord.
August 29, 2007 at 9:38 am
A baby? Wow!
September 3, 2007 at 2:53 pm
i know i’m new and late to this thread but i can’t seem to get any of my work done this week and so i’m catching up and getting to know you. and so i’m sharing a few things–this year we were more poor than ever before and my credit sucks so much that i actually had a sheriff at my door twice this year. twice. but i’m finally taking care of the credit thing and while it depresses me enough to drink two full bottles of wine, it is getting better.
on the baby things: wow, congratulations, that is SO exciting. three months is short, you probably know this already–lots of times takes one full year for first try. good luck. happy frolicky fun sex. i have always believed that if you just relax and get fucked you’ll get preggers.
