Latest Addictions - iPhone Tops the List

The iPhone is so cool - it's so much better than the commercials! I admit I had wanted my old Mobile Q to tank so I could buy one. It bit the dust, so I bought one (and one for hubby) and I LOVE IT!!! I think my Dad has been infected by this addiction too. Why is it so cool? Read about it here

I am addicted to Starbucks Skinny Vanilla Lattes. Thanks Jenn for saving me a couple hundred calories per day! I love it better than the full fat. The Gold Card is pretty cool too. I get 10% off everything and my card was "free" which means I spent a lot of money on coffee. But the card does cost everyone else $25.

Book 4 of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Series - I can't read it fast enough! So good!

I'm completely addicted to working out. I figure if these people can do it, I've got no excuse. And I really want my arms back. You know the arms you have when the kids are toddlers and you're toting them everywhere? Those arms! Ali was my favorite last season. She's a machine.

What's Going On In The Adoption World?

I know of 2 families who are travelling in November. I think they both received June referrals so that's pretty cool they only had a 5 month wait to travel. I'm so very excited for them and can feel their excitement from the forum. I hope they blog their journey. It's so helpful to the rest of us who are just waiting.

If I decorated a nursery today - It would be a very pale pink paint and dark furniture - Not sure if I'd buy cherry or espresso. Brown and Pink is what I would lean towards though. I'm not decorating but that's what I would do if I were!

We are waiting - waiting for the moment when we have a picture, waiting to travel, waiting to complete our family, living our busy lives with 2 great boys wondering if she is born. Our Dossier (large stack of official paperwork) is complete (as of June 08) and in Thailand with about 15 families in front of us. Everything is approved and we're anxious for the next set of referrals and then the next and then the next - hoping that from some fluke we get a referral before the anticipated date which is 10 1/2 months away. Everyone asks us, "When are you going to hear?" as if we have any clue but we nod, smile and say June or Sept. It already sounds closer than it did this summer. I mean, it is closer but as winter approaches, I guess I start counting down to flip flop weather so it goes faster. The thought that the phone will just ring and it be THE CALL is still a bit crazy to me. I get nervous when our SW sends an email. I won't be able to speak if she shows up on Caller ID. I hope she doesn't hang up on me.

Eclipse

WAY BETTER THAN BOOK 2!!! This is an excellent book! The 600+ pages flew by. I now understand what the fuss is all about. I really, really love these characters - werewolves, vampires and humans - all of them. I don't want them to die, get hurt, be sad, etc. Stephenie Meyer is an incredible writer. At times, I feel like I'm there in the clearing with the vampires or I get chills when she describes Edwards skin. Her descriptions are that good and I'm constantly wanting to read even when I don't have time. I did predict one of the twists but missed the other one completely. Of course, I'm still dreaming about them... The love between Bella and Edward is... well, has grown into what a new marriage is like. You know what I mean.

I can't wait to sink my teeth into Book 4. (LOL couldn't resist)

I've already decided I will read these 4 books again while I wait for Book 5 to be completed. I'm going to be one of those people.
