March 16

After a series of disappointments, it looks like I might actually get my condo! I've signed all the paperwork and am just waiting to hear from my realtor about the closing date. I might need to work out a deal with my landlord so I won't be out on the street for 2 weeks, fortunately I've already had a couple of friends offer me their space if that happens. Personally, I really don't want to move my stuff twice, so it makes more sense to work something out with my landlord. My Uncle tells me the stimulus rebate for first time homeowners ( or homo-wners, in my case) doesn't go into effect until April 15? I hope that isn't accurate. It would sure suck to miss out on $3000 by a couple of weeks. Hopefully, he's got the tax deadline confused or something.
