Living out loud in the Carolinas

  • This week has been so busy. Jon was off Tuesday and Wednesday so we did a bunch of adoption related running around. Tuesday night after errand running we went to dinner at our favorite Mexican joint where CSP enjoyed a mega cerveza.Then Wednesday we did some more adoption running around (courthouse for background checks) then…

  • Saturday Jon and I spent the day with a dozen or so other adoptive couples in a workshop. We learned so, so much. We both agreed that every adoptive parent should attend this workshop. They covered everything from attachment to orphanage conditions, to what to expect when you’re in-country, to what to expect when you…

  • Saturday we awoke to a note on our door that our neighbor accidentally cut the telephone cable. This is a problem since our internet is DSL. I felt like a true American Pioneer as I tried to survive until today without phone or the web. It amazed me how often over the course of 2…

  • CSP gets a kiss from Molly Originally uploaded by heyshanny. It kills me the way she’s sitting on the back of the sofa & kind of on his shoulder at the same time. She’s the funniest little dog I’ve ever met.

  • Ok, so it seems that y’all are on board for the photoblog your day thing. I’m thinking we’ll do 2 days- a weekday and a weekend day so those of you trapped in cubeland M-F will have something more to take pics of during the day. And since a lot of you are going on…

  • So yesterday we went for our fingerprint appointment. For those of you who don’t know, the Department of Homeland Security or Immigration or maybe the combination of the two, who knows, they make you get fingerprinted before you can bring a foreigner into the country as your child. And your fingerprints are only valid for…

  • It has turned warm (hot really) except for this week when we have a nice temporary cool down. And warm weather round here means grilling time for CSP. So meal planning has been tough lately as I’ll ask what he’d like for dinner and suggest something from my little repetoire. Then he’ll shoot it down…

  • When I set my mind to something I go all in. But I can be a sprinter. Case in point: my garage. It is half full literally to the ceiling of boxes waiting to be unpacked. Most of the boxes contain my hobby materials. There are yarn & knitting boxes, jewelry supply boxes, boxes full…

  • I was telling CSP about my trip to T@rget on Saturday where I scored a 60 pack of off brand pee pads. They work better for me with all this bleeding. You know, on the box it says these pads hold like a cup and a half of liquid. No. Come on. I’d be careful…

  • As we’re about to fall asleep: Ew!! What? Molly just licked my bare eyeball. Ew. Man, that was rough. As we’re driving and I point out some geese on the side of the road, CSP remarks about how he saw one dead on the roadside the other day. I just feel bad for them. I…
