It stormed out today. I hate storms. I have had a recurrent theme in my dreams for the past few years – tornadoes. I think it comes from a combination of thinking my house’s basement is not deep enough (it’s a walk out) and being in one at my old house. But I have had [...]

Finally….the long awaited DNA announcement. Nothing new, just a reminder that we are all on a time crunch. Like we needed reminding.

Adoption tidbit and Guilt

My agency had another referral today – this one was a girl. There is a family leaving on Friday to pick up their baby too. That’s exciting. I’m glad to see things are still moving. I asked them today what they thought about my adoption (as in will it happen???) and they said they do [...]
Pics from this weekend

This is our little fire and the fireworks in the background.
How do you know when your marshmallow is ready, A~? When it starts on fire, of course!
The flash lit up the scene – my brother didn’t know what the girls were up to until then…trying to feed him burned marshmallows. They laughed like hyenas after [...]
PIF, Weekend recap
Posted in Uncategorized on May 27, 2008 | 5 Comments »
Does no one want to play the Pay it Forward game? I have not received a single response. Maybe no one reads my blog. That wouldn’t surprise me I guess. I’m not that interesting. The following is an admittedly boring recap of my weekend.
Friday: Went to Menards and bought a couple of bird houses, a [...]
Pay It Forward

I did this Pay It Forward that I saw on Kelli’s blog. I got the most heartfelt gift from her today and seriously, it made me cry. She is such a sweetheart. I don’t know if I can do it as well as she did, but I’ll do my best.
So here are the rules:I will [...]

No news on the adoption front. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. I have not heard a word from my agency lately – not on the agency’s message board, not from anyone else. I’m sure they are hard at work. Hopefully they are coming along with some referrals soon. I know they had a boy referral a [...]
Prince Caspian and scooters

We saw the new Narnia movie. It was awesome! It is 2 ½ hours long, but it doesn’t seem like it! I just love the special effects – the characters look so real. I know there is some controversy regarding the Narnia movies, but I don’t see what the fuss is about. There was some [...]

How horrible is that? I shouldn’t do it, but I couldn’t stop myself. That September 1st deadline is always on my mind. Now I will know exactly how much time the little bunny racing into the storm has before he gets struck. I’m the bunny. The bunny hoping for a miracle, running through the storm. [...]
Strange Day

Today was just…weird. I really think I have a guardian angel watching over me. I drive about an hour each way during my commute for work. Today when I was about half way home I was coming up to a stoplight. I put on my brakes and checked my rear view mirror. Much to my [...]
