Random happenings

Today I did something I've never done before: went to a movie all by myself! I saw Mamma Mia. It was good, but a bit cheesy, like every good musical is. It was weirdly liberating to sit alone in the theater with no one to chat, laugh, and cry with. I might have to do it again sometime, but I'm not sure when I'll have another 2 hours to myself!

I took Miss Priss Pants to daycare for another trial run. I dropped her off, had lunch with my favorite guy again, paid the car payments (ugghh!), when to Kohl's, then the movie, then back to pick up my critters. She seemed to do alot better today. She was happy when I got there, but in a different outfit due to a major blow out. When she is stressed she has super yucky diapers. Hopefully she'll settle in soon, otherwise I'll have to start packing 1/2 her closet to get her through the week! I was much happier about todays visit than last weeks. I'm going to hopefully have lunch with my BFF Steph tomorrow so she can meet the princesa for the first time (that's really pitiful--we should make more effort to get together!), then take her in for a few hours and let daddy-o wrestle them both into the car to come home.

The latest on our neighbor, Bryan: He checked in to a hospital near here in the wee hours of the morning this morning, and surgery began around noon. Six hours or so later he is out of surgery with one leg/ankle repaired, but we haven't heard about the other leg. Please continue to pray for him and his wife Lauren.

I'm officially issuing a challenge to any readers who don't have blogs (ahem, Hollie & Krista!) to start one. It's super easy and not terribly time consuming. If it were hard or time consuming, I wouldn't do it, and you know that for a fact! It's only fair that I be kept up to date on your lives since you get to keep up with my monotony! Like Hollie, for instance--is there a bun in your oven yet? And Krista, what trouble, I mean fun, have you been getting into? Come on, you two (and anyone else who is selfishly reading blogs but not blogging--hee hee) do it, do it do it! If you're not going to, at least post a comment now and then so I'll know what's going on. I feel so out of the loop . . .

Lastly, since I've been sharing my blog more, many of you may have missed the slideshow I posted in early June. It takes you start to finish through our adoption journey. Click here to view it. I hope you enjoy it. Hopefully it will give hope to those in process, and open the hearts of those who might be considering adoption to get started on the bumpy but amazing road to bring their child(ren) home.

Love and Cinnamon twists! (thanks kdv--I'm gonna use that forever!)

Here's a sampling of what a blog by me might look like:
Hello, Reader,
Today I read my BFF's blog and I went to lunch w/ my friend, Chicademayo. I closed myself in her car door trying to avoid the rain AND hit myself in the face with my laptop getting out of her car. I then went inside to make crab cakes for a party that started in 10 min. only to find I bought clams instead of crab. Sick.

If you are still reading, I'm sorry. That's all I've got, and THAT is why I don't blog. Seriously. I've got nuthin'. I can't even remember my google/blogger name and password to leave comments. That's just how bad it is. I think I'm gonna go have a crepe myrtle now. All my love and cinnamon twists, kdv

You crack me up! I would totally read your blog even if that's all it said every day. Have you asked a bartender to make you a crepe myrtle yet?? See, this is the stuff that makes me feel more normal . . . and, you're in the running for most loyal reader. Anyone else?

Since I stalk your blog a lot for pics of the kiddos, maybe I SHOULD post one for my kiddo. Then you can stalk it.....but mine won't be as witty as yours. Mostly, "Mags and I went swimming today" or "Mags took a long nap while I watched Tori & Dean." Not very exciting........ Hollie

Hollie, I so wanna stalk your blog. I don't care what it says, just like I'm pretty sure no one cares what I say. Just do it for the pics! hee hee

I'll be looking for you to send me the link. :)
