Yes, I know. It's been awhile. Here's the hightlights:
The Adoption
The last set of referrals came out while we were on vacation. Although it was for a hope-inspiring number of LID days, rumor 'round the 'net says it wasn't for an impressive number of actual referrals. But since I have no way of knowing the number of actual referrals, I choose to focus on the good news. They made it thru 18 days of referrals!
Also, the next set of referrals should be here any day. Very nice. Especially nice since I personally know someone who will FOR SURE be getting her referral. Yeah!
The newest prediction for our referral based on the recent pace would be a July referral. That is assuming it will take the CCAA 2 months to get thru every month of LID's. Since I'm on a kick where I'm focusing on the positive.... A July referral means September travel. September travel means my "maternity leave" will stretch thru the Christmas season. I'll get to miss a Christmas at the post office. Hoo-rah! See?....there IS an advantage to waiting 9 more months.
Oh, and as of yesterday we have been logged in for 10 months. Over half way there. Right? See how positive I am? I'm so impressed with myslef. Truthfully, it doesn't seem that long. Weird, huh?
Work
I can't tell you what Jeff has been up to at work, since I don't really understand what he does. It doesn't stop him from telling me about it, but I can't repeat it with any accuracy. (Virtual servers, VM ware, etc.)
My work is totally getting cranked up for the Christmas season. Long days and more and more packages. I have one woman on my route who gets 20+ catalogues DAILY. I have no idea how she even reads that many. I hope she recycles.
Home Improvement
We're back on the war path. Jeff is laying flooring as I type. I really need to help. It's not like I really do anything, but I think he likes me standing over him offering help and praise from time to time. When he's done we're going to pull up carpet down the hallway, then some painting. We're contemplating a bathroom remodel, but can't decide how crazy we're gonna get in there. (have the tile painted vs. laying new tile)
Also, we're having a new roof put on. That's a whole post on it's own. Maybe during my next brake.

Would love to see the home improvement pictures when you are all finished!
We just did the roof. Can give you a referral for that if you are interested.
What kind of flooring is he laying down? We need to have that done ASAP. Maybe your hubbie wants to earn a few bucks??? (heehee)
I would really like to know how hard it was...
The bath remodel has gone well and we should have photos posted on Monday. This weekend we are staining the cabinets and hanging the new mirrors etc. The only items which won't be ready by Monday will be the countertops (we are undecided as to whether they are needed or not) and the new flooring. We can give you some input on tub and shower replacement if you are interested.
Hope to see you Saturday!
