Tuesday - cleaning up after the Rita party

Ah, hopefully the Houston business community will have today recovered from a full week of Rita-madness. I have one loan in closing today; still needing insurance on it, as the home owner's people couldn't get it right two weeks ago, then ignored my request on Tuesday last, presumably hanging their excuse on the hurricane evacuation.

Then, I have three files to pack up and submit presuming that I can actually find the lenders who are willing to accept them. That should take me until mid-morning, and THEN I have more work on my list of things to accomplish for the day. Tonight, I'm going to have to launder the mutts, as the carpet cleaning guy is scheduled for tomorrow morning. Can't have dirty dogs on clean carpeting.

Chuck and I picked out [professional] models for the Fabulair website yesterday - now, I have to figure out how much that is going to COST me - I've been informed that I have to pay for "hair and makeup," so I'm going to ask Damon how much THAT would cost for seven hyper-coiffed men. Then, I have to ask Mary and Eric about setting up the shoot; and ..

I think this is going to cost me several thousand.

Had dinner with Chuck and Charlie last night; that was sure fun. We went to Ninfa's on Navigation (which mapquest thinks is on Canal St.) and it was PACKED. Chuck is so much fun. Charlie's also a hoot.

Started making up the name tags for the divo party that I thought up the other day. They're going to be fun. I'm also thinking about making up .. what to call them .. docent sheets? Like, laminated sheets that explain what this tschotchke is, or why this wall thing is here, or whatever. That could be fun as well.

Not a word out of Michael the Hooker since Sunday morning. I guess that's good. His presence in the casita is limited to a travel bag and a laundry basket, a skate board leaning up against the wall and his toothbrush. He's a basket case.

Okay, it's time to get things moving here. I have to take Ruby back to NTB and have them check out what kind of coolant they put into her back a few weeks ago. Have to chase down my tax scofflaws. Want to hear from the woman who needs FIVE catch-up tax returns filed by Oct 3 so that she can file for bankruptcy before the rules change. Also expecting some other QuickBooks consulting business to come in today or tomorrow.
