I am thankful that after a year long battle with Fannie Mae and an evil mortgage company,  I still have a shingled roof over my head instead of a makeshift tent, a cozy bed in which to sleep, access to the internet, and a penis that still gets hard. (Oh, and family, friends, health, blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada...but mostly the penis thing.)

Unfortunately, she could not make a move without approval from her superiors, and things slowed down once again.

A fellow blogger posted a fun limerick she made up about her family. There was a reference to "swinging from trees with the greatest of ease" that immediately reminded me of my own family (in a far-fetched way), particularly my mother.



When I was young, music was a constant part of my life. Whether on the radio, TV or phonograph, I don't ever remember a time without singing or dancing. </summary><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atthealtarofmyego.blogspot.com/feeds/6627823797417442214/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://atthealtarofmyego.blogspot.com/2011/11/swinging-and-singing.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8547470661717826163/posts/default/6627823797417442214'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8547470661717826163/posts/default/6627823797417442214'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atthealtarofmyego.blogspot.com/2011/11/swinging-and-singing.html' title='swinging and singing'/><author><name>jockfullonuts</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06348848857787520233</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0PpWtiTEkAM/TrBjIHg-PfI/AAAAAAAADtw/PRGijGIH3W4/s72-c/monkeylove.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547470661717826163.post-1109688850410078242</id><published>2011-10-31T14:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-31T18:11:47.647-07:00</updated><title type='text'>boo</title><summary type='text'>

In May of 2010 I received a letter from a new mortgage company saying that my loan had been sold and I was to make my first payment to them as of June 2010. I did as instructed. In the beginning of July I received certified mail saying that I was in arrears to the tune of $4500.00 and the loan was now in default, foreclosure imminent.

unusual sight. I shan't forget. Twas, indeed, a red letter day.

Events of the last several years had left me angry, bitter, depressed, soulless and without humor. I had always used humor to deflect and diffuse but I'd reached a point where that was no longer possible, especially in regard to my blog. Words would not come.
