ADOPTION QUEST: Assessor woes

The disappointment continues!  Aaron and I patiently waited the 2-3 weeks the assessor and her supervisor stated it would take for the paperwork to go through.  4 weeks have passed and still no license.  Aaron called on Friday but we didn't get a reply back until day.  She didn't start our paperwork until last week and now she is sick.  I guess my happy dreams aren't possible now.  Maybe we'll be so lucky early 2013.

GIRLIE UPDATE: Man of Steel trailer 2

It's been awhile since we've seen a bit of the Cavill!  I hope there's some ass-kicking in this flick.

ADOPTION QUEST: Prepping for baby

As you all know me, I love to plan ahead.  So I'm putting my crazy life in order as best I can in anticipation of "an arrival"! 

I met with my boss and made a back-up plan if I had to ask for time-off from say, TOMORROW until the end of January.  I'm racing to complete my last big project and once that schedule is set my work load should be minimal until spring break!

Next comes the Christmas planning!  Most of the shopping and decorations are done, yay!  Still thinking about our dinner menu.  Oh shoot, the Christmas cards!!

Nothing thrills me like a challenge but it will all be worth it -- I'll have a lot of available time in the weeks to come to concentrate on other things in life!  I am hoping my recent happy dreams come true!

Christmas 2012: 10 foot tree

Oh it smells so good!  This year we went for slim and tall.  And that means the tree can't fit in it's usual corner. 

  

It's looks nice being front and center of our entryway!

ADOPTION QUEST: Surprise visit

Wouldn't you know it!  Our assessor decided to make her last visit on the day I stayed home from work with a rash!  Quite embarrassing to answer the door in your pajamas but I wanted it over with.  I must say our house was quite clean for a fall day.  I vacuumed all the leaves that morning and the sofa covers were all washed that night when I thought I was infested with bugs.

Bottom line, we passed!!  I'm going back to sleep...
