It looks like I'm really doing this

We are good to go. I have been prequalified for a home loan! It took longer than I thought it would because my mortgage person hurt her shoulder and they had her on painkillers for a week, which was not conductive for her to work on my finances. :-)

My Realtor is out of town until early next week, but I'm in no real hurry. I just contemplated my schedule over the next few months in horror:

April 27-28, WEST (West Austin Studio Tour)
May 4 Violet Crown Festival
May 11 (maybe) Austin Flea
Mail off art for ConQuesT by May 14
Memorial Day Weekend: Boston for AnimeBoston
June 21-23: Houston for ApolloCon
July 5-7: Anime Overload
August 17: Austin Craft Riot Summer Show
August 29-September 2: WorldCon in San Antonio

Plus, there is a semi-regular Steampunk gathering that wants me to show, I'm finally getting my etsy shop together... The best time to move will be July/August. In South Texas. Yes, I am hiring movers, though I plan on a packing/painting party--because I'm sure wherever I move will need painting.

How tacky would it be of me to register at Home Depot, etc. for a housewarming?
