Too Cool...
Well, I contacted two of the three preferred lenders via e-mail and one responded. I sent some info back and they say we qualify as long as we have that down payment. Great.

And America is on its way from England. The domestic order is being held up by Christmas Ideals. It's funny, I didn't like the old Ideals books; the artwork was badly done and they tinted the pages some really ugly colors. The new books have beautiful photographs—the fall photos look good enough to eat—and the artwork used is usually attractive.

We noticed when we went to Sam's last week that they'd "redecorated" again...but their DVD section is now huge. Costco used to have the best, but it has been diminished over time (more Playstation stuff now), and BJ's is pretty good, with an emphasis on older movies, but the new Sam's selection blows them both away. We were looking at the new From the Earth to the Moon set. We have the original set of just the episodes (I got them from a rental place that was going belly-up and we didn't get the fourth disk with the extras), which were not widescreen as originally filmed and broadcast, and watch this one so much we were toying about getting it. We didn't have the funds last week, though. Hope it's there for a while.
