Midweek Bullets

Not much going on but I figured I need to say hello and let everyone know I'm alive. So without further ado...

• Well 21 came and went on Saturday. Not really a big deal anymore. It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to keep up with it. I'm thinking that I'm going to wait longer than the number of candles on my next birthday cake.
• The weather is nice and cool here. It's the way fall should be. We're sleeping with windows open. The AC is off. Just beautiful.
• I'm so ready for fall TV to return. It's time. Bring on Priv.ate Pra.ctice, Grey's An@tomy, Danc.ing w/ the Sta.rs, 2 1/2 M.en, what else??? Oh, and has anyone watched the new 90210? I grew up with the original - heck, they graduated HS the same year I did. I kind of like it but, as they always say, sequels aren't as good as originals. We'll see what happens.
  
• I'm in love with this:
  

I don't know what it is, but I had one this summer. Went out and bought some last week and good grief is it delicious!! And there isn't a lot of beer I will drink. I'm often an import snob. It takes a lot for me to drink a domestic beer. I'll probably have one tonight.

• I was utterly appalled at church on Sunday. A few rows up from us there was a little girl either 3 or 4 yrs old sucking juice out of a bottle. Why do parents allow this? I'm annoyed enough that Su.ri Crui.se who is 2 1/2 still does it. I think her parents can afford plenty of sippy cups for her to use especially if they're buying her $250/pair of jeans!
  
• I wish I could get someone to look at my house. We're probably going to put it on FSBO so that we can get an MLS listing. We have no problem having a relator help a buyer with our house. That's only 3% commission we have to give up instead of the 7% if we used a relator on both sides of the table. We'd lose so much money if we do it that way. So I guess I just have to pray harder.
• We move in 3 months. 3 MONTHS! Lane starts his new job 3 months from yesterday. I really don't want to move. As most of you know I really don't like it here. However as I've probably said a handful of times before, I love my house, I love my church, I love my friends, especially T & C and their daughters C & K who baby-sit for us and love Eriks to death. I love Eriks school, I love the karate studio and the instructors and I love my doctors. Moving from California was hard and I cried when we left but I think it's going to be a little harder to move from here to GA even though my blog buddies await me and I await access to things I don't have here. I think the hardest thing about this move is that I'm moving without a daughter. We expected that when we left here there would be 4 of us. There's still only 3 and that is really hard. Really, really hard. It just reminds me that I'm going to have to have a new homestudy done in a new state (BTW, this will be HS #4, in 4 different states). It reminds me that I have to wait longer. It reminds me that adoption is one of the most difficult journeys anyone can face and those who have never had to go through it really don't understand how painful it continues to get the longer we wait. I know people who have been married for a long time before they have children. But, here I am married just over 12 yrs and I have one child. I had expected to be done growing my family now. OK. I'm going to leave it alone because I've been upset over this the past few days. Might be PMS.
• We will be in CA in just over a month. I'm looking forward to it, but I'm having a hard time figuring out a way to tell Eriks school that we're pulling him out of school to go to CA. If it weren't for potential irregular heart rate issues that could come up while Lane's away, we'd stay put but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Plus if I have issues while out in CA, I still have medical records at UCL@ so I could be seen there. So what we're exactly going to do while Lane is in class during the day remains to be seen. We're going to hit Di$neyland on the weekend and planning on attending Mickey's Trick or Tre.at party on Thurs. evening.
  

Okay, I've blabbered enough. I'm sure most of you just skimmed the post anyhow. Catch ya again soon.

Oh, one last thing. Since life seems to be anything but thrilling right now, I'm going to take Krista's lead and play the 20 questions game. So, leave your questions in the comments and I'll answer them over the course of several blog posts. Maybe you'll learn something new and interesting about me!
