My Dallas adventures continue......with a great big rain/thunderstorm passing through. Maggie and I are hiding away in the hotel to avoid the whole mess. Tomorrow I will be looking at "my" house again - I can't remember what it looks like anymore! Still no formal acceptance of my offer yet, but I got 26 pages of various ways to sign my life away to a mortgage company (from my mortage company, not the seller's). My mortgage company said that we should get all of this paperwork out of the way so we're ready to go when the seller's bank approves the offer. They say that banks want to close almost immediately after approving a short-sale offer. So next week might be really chaotic - the closing date is either the 27th or 28th, so I'll probably hear for sure on Tuesday or something ridiculous. At any rate, I am meeting with Teresa (realtor) tomorrow night to look at the house (and I just talked to her and she's bringing me some homemade banana pudding too!). We're going to do some measuring of the spaces for appliances while we're there.
I had a fun adventure at the post office today - a co-worker of mine told me that the post office here in Irving has a machine in the lobby that is accessible 24/7 that can measure your package or box and print your label and then you put it in the depository to be mailed. I love that I can go to the post office after-hours and take care of errands! It's the simple things in life that make me smile, I guess. One more thing to check off the list of things to do!
Also -Maggie achieved a doggie milestone today (a little late, but oh well): She finally realized what a mirror was and got all freaked out when she saw her reflection! The hotel closet doors are the sliding floor-to-ceiling doors that are all mirror on the outside. Well, I was getting ready in the bathroom and I look out in the hallway to see Maggie poking her nose on the mirror, then jumping back and yipping at her own image. She was amused/scared/angry all at the same time - wasn't this kind of thing supposed to happen when she was a little puppy??? I've held her in front of mirrors all her life, waiting for her to do this and she never cared - just didn't get it....until now! I had a good laugh at her expense.
One more Maggie tidbit - she is afraid of umbrellas that are sitting on the floor minding their own business and drying off from the rain. What an odd dog I have!

That's a song too, right?
Maggie is so funny! Mirrors and umbrellas can be her blog title, she should totally start one.
Glad the new job is going well so far. Sounds leaps and bounds ahead of, well, it sounds great!!
At least your post office still has the "box" to take care of off hours business. The one I go to had to get rid of it because not enough people had come out of the dark ages to use it.
