TGIF

Well, since I had Good Friday off of work, my realtor Teresa and I decided to look at houses in the afternoon - just to see if there were any other houses out there that I liked better and that could close quicker than the pokey house I have an offer on. We started at noon and ended up right back at my tenative house in Grand Prairie by 7pm. I think it's 'the one' and so I'm suspending all other searches unless something spectacular comes on the market. I was 'feeling the vibe' last night at the house and I really could picture it as my own. The other day I was just too emotional about it to really have any kind of feeling about it. However, everything depends on the home inspection too....

I am definitely a Property Virgin (has anyone seen that show on TLC? It's great - Sandra is awesome), I also realized yesterday that I was a Chick Fil-A Virgin as well. (LTL - aren't you proud - I finally went to Chick Fil-A?!) It was decent - nothing I would get all worked up over, but Lindsay has been on me for a few years now to try it and I finally did. I also took my picture (like the good tourist that I am) next to a big painted steer outside of Chick Fil-A (very similar to the frogs that are all over Toledo and the Snoopy's all around St. Paul). Dallas has big steers all over the place that are wildly painted and decorated - they are so cool! I also have a picture of me in front of a neat one at Cheesecake Factory from one of my house-hunting visits earlier this year.

Unfortunately, I cannot post any pictures from my camera right now because the cord that I use to connect the camera to the computer is in a box in Toledo right now - AGH! What was I thinking???

Well, I think I used for the first time the BEST invention ever made - the DOGGY DOOR! I'm staying with Tammy right now and she has one so her dog can go in and out to the fenced-in backyard - it's wonderful! They never have to let their dog out or deal with any of that, or worry about how many hours it's been since the dog went potty. I am going to be installing a doggy door as soon as possible at my new house - FOR SURE. Maggie is still learning the process and gets how it works, but when the flap is closed and not specifically opened for her, she thinks it's 'locked' or something. She just needs to learn that she has to push her nose against the flap and it will open. She is improving, though, with just about 12 hours here at their house. Yay for my wiener dog!!

Today I am going to do some furniture shopping - there are SO MANY furniture stores here and I'm sooooooo picky that I better start now so that I have a master bedroom suite by 2012!
