House Update

You may already know that we're buying a new house. Unfortunately, we need to sell our condo before we can buy the house we want. The good news is that we showed our condo on Saturday morning and things went really well! The lady loved it and said she was going to talk to the bank today (Monday) to see if she can afford it. Hopefully we'll hear from her this week.

But, even if we don't, we have an open house on Sunday, so hopefully that will bear some fruit, too. In any event, things are looking a lot better than they were a few weeks ago. And we've done it all (so far) without the "help" of a realtor.

Speaking of which, the realtor of the people from whom we're buying called on Sunday to give us a hard time and get an "update" on how things were going. Foretunately I had the good news I mentioned above and was able to fend her off for a while. I don't like her. I'm sure I'll write up a nice article about her once the deal is done, but for now I'll bite my tongue.

So if all goes as well as I hope, we'll be moving in the last half of January. Not the best time to be moving in Canada, but at least the movers will be cheap!

Maggie's Birthday!

Today is Maggie's birthday! For those of you who don't know, Maggie is our little, white, neurotic, and horribly cute miniature poodle. She turns five today!

Actually, she probably turned five sometime in the last year, but we got her in October of last year and October 10th is midway between my birthday and Marie's, so we decided that today is the day from now on.

Here are some pictures from the last year of our little doghter!


This was her when we found her at the SPCA.


Here she is looking cute with her petite os.


Finally, here she is looking cute.

Ok, so I like my dog. Since we're not having kids, this is as close as we're getting to posting baby photos, so deal with it!

Bonne Fete, p'tit chien!
