<p>Today, I met with my mortgage broker and signed my name about thirty times. I know I agreed to hand over my firstborn, whenever I have one to hand over. That's so they can sell the baby on the black market if I default, right? And there was something about giving my consent for them to take out a life insurance policy on me and have me killed if I don't pay promptly.</p>
<p>And then I dropped the P&amp;S off at the Listing Broker's office, signed. Along with a check for more money than I've ever written a check for.</p>
<p>The mortgage broker thinks we might be able to move up the closing by a couple weeks. I could own a house in three weeks.</p>
