Out of the loop

Thank you so much, friends, for asking where I have been lately!!!! I know I have been a little out of touch but that is because every moment I have spent on the computer for the last month has either been to work or to work on our adoption portfolio. It is finally finished and at the printer. I dropped it off at Staples at 1pm today, the said they started trying to print it at 5pm (the time I was hoping to pick it up) but the file is so large (65MB) that as of 6:30 it was still in the process of printing. It is only a 14 page document but I guess because there are so many pictures and graphics on it it really slows things down. What I don't understand is why when I brought it to Office Depot last night it printed up quickly but not that great of quality. Since I dropped it off at the Staples in Palm Beach Gardens and I in in Port St. Lucie my Dad volunteered to pick it up for me and deliver it to the attorney tomorrow. Hopefully it will be done printing by then. I am going to try to upload a page or two of our profile so you can see what I am talking about. Now, that I have bored you to tears here are a few things I could have blogged about over the past few weeks

  • Dave has been working on a big presentation for a class. Tonight he delivered in front a large group of space entrepreneurs. I can't wait to hear all about it.
  • Work/church has been rough - can't really go into detail - but suffice it to say I will be soooo glad to be a stay at home mom, hopefully soon
  • We took my nephew, Lance to see his first space shuttle launch. It was amazing!!! We were about 15 miles away and had a clear view across the inter coastal. It was at night but it lite up the sky as if it went from dawn to full noon in about 90 seconds. All I could think was this it the most spectacular thing man has ever done, technologically speaking.
  • I am almost done decorating my living room. My mom informed me that the drapes I made need to be floor length so I am on the hunt for some brown fabric and maybe some fringed to add to the bottom. I will post some pictures so you can give me your opinion.
  • We went for a nice hike at Ox Bow park two weekends ago. It was lovely. Saw an armadillo.
  • Dave brother it totally into blogging now - all political stuff. Cosmo and Dave share in the writing. Check it out here. And no I have not been reading this one either. I just have not had any time!!!!
I am sure there are other things but I will save them for another day. BTW, I will be catching up with all of your blogs real soon!

Ponderings that don't deserve a post of their own...

Never before have I been so sweaty, sticky, and stained and cared so little. On a sign in the ladies room at the US Consulate: Help keep our environment clean: Please keep your feet on the floor and not on the toilet seat. What the ...? My new diet and exercise plan - parenting twins. Hong Kong - ultra firm mattress, barely uncomfortable. Nanchang - surprisingly plush mattress, just right.  Guangzhou - what mattress? it really should be called a platform or plank.   Loving the people, marketing and salesmanship skills of the Chinese shop owners. I wonder if they have attended a John Maxwell seminar. He is popular here, you know. One would think that the country that built this thoroughly modern skyscraper , the second largest in the world, could come up with a way of making the tap water potable. Why are there so many Chinese people wandering around the hotel in their robes? Note to self - do not shake a baby bottle filled with very hot formula. Question:...

I really thought I would have time to blog everyday on this "once in a life time trip" but in reality, yesterday I did not even have time to brush my hair and I have yet to wash it since getting the twins on Sunday. So as I sit here on Tuesday evening I want to remember and record all that has transpired since the girls were first placed in our arms but I am sitting in a dark hotel since Abbi and Livi are asleep in their cribs just 10 feet away.  The near darkness make me want to crawl under the covers and fade into dream land. So, the remedy is going to be a bulleted list which I will try to expand on later. "Try" is the operative word here. Gotcha Day was traumatic for the girls but they soon calmed down and just eyed us with suspicion for the evening. Prior to getting the girls there was a two hour meeting to discuss feeding and caring for the babies and the itinerary. Monday was paperwork day. The first office was where the adoption became official. ...
