A picture is worth a thousand words

Well, I finally got unpacked enough to deal with pictures and my silly digital camera! So here are some random pics (none of my house yet - I'm not done decorating, so I don't want to take any until it's 'presentable'....). They aren't necessarily in order, but oh well. Enjoy!

Maggie says: "Don't even think about touching my favorite duckie toy - especially while I'm taking a nap with it."


This is Maggie on our only piece of furniture (air mattress and Maggie's favorite blankies) for the first week of living in the house. Luckily she didn't puncture it with her jumping!


This is me at Alamo Title Company in Colleyville getting the keys to my house at closing! Teresa thought I needed to remember this moment (I'm so glad she brought her camera!).

Yay - Arlington!! This is my new home!

This is the Walmart that is across the street from the site of the new Dallas Cowboys stadium. Even Walmart has longhorns on it!!! Also, around the parking lot, there were brick pillars that had stars on them and then a baseball sculpture at the top of each one (this Walmart is also next to the Texas Rangers baseball stadium). Now that's a customized Walmart!

Not sure why this picture turned out so purple, but whatever. This is the new Dallas Cowboys stadium that is being built as I type. It's about 10 minutes from my house and this pic was taken from the Walmart parking lot across the street (Walmart will be knocked down eventually to allow for stadium parking). Apparently the stadium will be done in 2009 - yeah right!

This is my baby Maggie sunning herself with her ducky toy in the office before the furniture arrived. She LOVES the carpet in the new house (traction and warmth) and she has cat-like tendencies with the whole sunning herself thing. I think she has identity issues. :)

This is a pic of me and a decorated longhorn steer outside of Chick Fil-A while Teresa and I were searching for houses. There are a million of these decorated steer around Dallas/Fort Worth - like the Snoopy's in St. Paul and the frogs in Toledo. I think they are so awesome!

This is another example of NON-creative naming of restaurants/cities (see blog post in March)!

These are the wieners that I babysat at Tammy's (orange one is Stretchy, black one is Tyson):

They were obsessed with sitting in my suitcase - not sure why.....So cute!!!

PS - Maggie was pretty jealous of the attention they got.

Here's the gecko that I saw at Teresa's house:
