darkemeraldsI think I've just borrowed my life away. You know the ads that say, "If you haven't refinanced in the last five months, you NEED to look into an incredibly low-low-LOW interest mortgage loan from Carcharadon, Crocuta and Sapiens!"?
Well, I didn't go quite that far, but I've gone completely to the dark side anyway by applying to refinance my house. They call it all kinds of things, but it's a mortgage. Mort-gage. Anglo-French, from Old French, from mort dead (from Latin mortuus) + gage security.
That means I'm engaged to make payments on this thing till I die. And all for a new bathroom.
Eeeeek.
