Miss me?

Boy, it's been awhile, hasn't it? What a delinquent blogger I am! Let's play catch-up.....

The Adoption
Maybe I should have started with a different topic. This one is still a bit gloomy. The last set of referrals came out a little over a week ago and once again, they only covered about a week's worth of LID's. My agency got about 40 referrals (with a set of twins!! Yeah!!) But I've heard they send about 100 dossiers to China each month. So if they send 100 monthly and only got 40 last month, 30 the month before, and ZERO the month before that, you can see they're building up quite a back-log.

Looking over my blog, I see I totally forgot to mention our 5 month LID anniversary. Heck, now we're halfway to the 6 month mark. 6 months logged in....wow. When we started this process we expected our referral about now. eh, well.

Work
My route is finally going to be cut in about a month. I'll finally be shed of the C.O.W. She was by her mailbox the other day and snatched her mail from me. Bye bye, C.O.W. I'm losing money along with her, but that's fine. I've also gotten myself off the list of volunteers to work their off day. Yippy!! I'll get to spend weekends with my Honey. Or go out of town for a weekend. We're already planning a long weekend trip over the 4th of July holiday.

Cooking
We had every intention of continuing the cooking, but life got busy and we slipped a little. Don't worry, we're jumping back on the wagon after this weekend. I have my shopping list and menu all ready. (Thanks, Brian)

Exercise
We have been doing amazingly well!! We meet my running partner at the park for a long run every Sunday. Jeff walks and gives us "girl" time. And then I hoof it on the treadmill a couple times a week. It's finally getting easier. I even made it to the gym this week. My aerobics teacher came to the post office to say Hi and guilted me into going again.

side note: My aerobics teacher and I started trying to get pregnant about the same time. Since then, she has had ovarian drilling (sounds horrible) and has gone thru 3 failed IVF's. She's about to start her 4th. I can't imagine taking that road, and am so glad we chose adoption. Even with the wait, at least I know one day, eventually, there WILL be a baby. And no injections or egg harvesting required!

and finally Home Improvements
Our one month break from home improvements turned into a 3 month break. It's really easy to get used to your house in a half done state. I was perfectly okay with not doing any more for awhile, but today while I was at work, Jeff started pulling up more carpet. I'll post pictures at the end of the weekend of our progress, but let me tell you, what we found under the carpet is pretty scary!

That's about it for the Jeff and Georgia story. Please stay tuned for more regular installments. (with pictures!!) I promise.
