I'm gonna talk about it

What is up with conversations between mixed races?

You know how you can look at someone and "stereotype"?.. come on, everyone does it!

Earlier this afternoon, I had a discussion with the other admin that I work with. She herself is black. We are good friends and everything is cool, but as soon as I bring up something regarding another race.. the switch gets flipped. Has society trained minorities to be defensive? I am in no way a racist. I believe that everyone is equal... except for Britney Spears and she is a DB.

So here is how the conversation went. I will call the female we were talking about "L". Oh man, "L" has such an attitude and is rude to everyone. "L"

I said.. I heard she is married to a white man. Ok, yes.. I was being a stereotype but this lady does NOT look like she'd marry a white man. She looks more along the type who'd be married to a Mike Tyson look alike. When I said that, there was absolutely NOTHING racist in my mind. I was actually being racists towards the white guy if you want to get particular.

So, my friend's first response.. "yeah, she is.. what is wrong with that".

Why would she immediately think that there was a problem with it. We can talk about the woman's bad hair, bad makeup, bad attitude.. but gosh let me talk about who she is married to and the whole room gets quiet.

Then, I start feeling guilty for something that I shouldn't feel guilty about. I meant nothing by it. That is like saying.. Oh my God.. her husband is a big asshole. It is the same in my mind.


WTF

Question and Answer

I go to Suntrust tonight and talk with my loan officer. We are doing a "question and answer" sit down so he can explain my loan in detail and answer any questions I might have.

For those homeowners (especially first time homeowners)

I'd like to know what you would have done different with your loan if you could have.
What questions I should ask.
What mistakes you think you made that I could avoid :)
and what positive things you've gotten / done that I could use as guidance.

I'm going to do it

I'm going to buy a house.

I got my pre-qual letter today and I'm set to start the journey!

Thanks Shannon, Roxanna and Cristine for pushing me to do this :)

I've never felt like shitting my pants so much!!! HA

Taking my BC pills and I feel amazing so far!
