Tonight I had the pleasure of having dinner with 5 other adoptive moms to be. We’re all adopting from China and are at various stages of the process. We had dinner at Logan’s and they were nice enough to let us chat and laugh for way longer than your normal dinner. I asked for something…

Yesterday afternoon I drove up to Greensboro with my mom, Hale & Morgan to go to Emerald Pointe, a huge water park. We went last night for just a couple of hours, and since there were no lines, and no sunburn potential, we got to ride all the big rides and pack a ton of…

So…We are officially on our way to becoming parents! We applied with our agency on Saturday. We received our approval email on Monday. Throughout this week we’ve received enough forms to fill out that we could wallpaper the house. If everything stays on schedule we should be in China this time next year (how cool…

So I’m sitting in the salon the other day while Morgan is having her first facial. That child is so spoiled. I waited until I was an adult before getting a facial like normal people. Anyway, I’ve been going to this same salon for a good while now to get my hair cut, and this…

Jon’s been jonesing for another pug. They are addictive, like tattoos and heroin. He wants a little black girl pug and he’s already named her Molly. He talks about her almost as much as we talk about Ling Ling. Well imagine my surprise when I’m searching for books at the library online and I type…

Karen over at The Naked Ovary wrote a post the other day about her parents’ dog eating her tampon in the living room, leaving a big blood stain. She invited her readers to leave their grosser than gross stories in her comments. I read those comments and laughed so hard while being horrified for those…
