Growing with Hosta

We are deep into the world of home buying. Thank God my taxes are done because I’m stressed out enough as it is. I feel like I am stuck in paperwork hell. My life is so electronic that this much paperwork is pretty foreign to me. I have to get so many things together to get this loan. I cannot imagine how this would work if I did not have everything as organized as I already do. Thank goodness for online statements though. Very convenient when you need to print them. It would be more efficient if I could just give the .pdfs over to our mortgage guy.

I was pretty stressed when I got home so I went outside and took some photos in the back yard. The Hosta is starting to bloom. I lay down on the ground and used my Zeiko 10+ filter to get very close and detailed. I love how those filters work. They are really a great purchase. My sister Tara said that we could have some when we move.

This is my own personal DSLR camera that I bought half of. My mother-In-Law bought the other half as an investment of great photos of her grandchildren. With over 26,000 photos of Eva and counting, I’d say she got great ROI on the investment. The opinions about them are 100% mine.

Disclosure: I received a number of Seagate devices including the Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 1 TB USB 2.0 Ultra-Portable External Hard Drive, GoFlex Home, GoFlex TV and GoFlex Net. I’ll be talking about these devices in the coming months. The opinions about the devices are 100% mine.

It seems like the paperwork thing was a much bigger ordeal last year than when I bought my condo in 2002. Just keep track of everything you send and the date you sent it. It will be frustrating. Yes, yes it will.

  Andrea,
  
  It is already exhausting and I haven’t really sent any paperwork in yet.
