MVP!

Three All-Star starters, an All-Star coach, one player named to the Young Guns exhibition, and Rip Simonick as equipment manager for the Eastern Conference team. What a year!

And even though the East wasn't able to pull out the victory, we still got the MVP!

MVP!

w00t! w00t!

Got another e-mail from Michele - the state FedEx-ed the agency a buttload of fingerprinting cards. Which means we won't have to wait until god-knows-when for them to be able to fingerprint us. I just called the agency & made an appointment to get our prints done on Monday morning.

This still creates a delay, but at least this way the clock starts right away - ten weeks for the prints to be processed, and then we're assigned a caseworker & start the homestudy meetings - versus waiting who knows how long for the agency to even be able to submit our prints. The delay seems more reasonable now that we have a good idea of how long it will be before our homestudy is finished.

well, dammit...

I just received an e-mail from our adoption agency. Their e-mails all come with a confidentiality notice, but since there's nothing confidential about the information this one contains, I'm going to copy parts of it here.

WGR picks on my least-favourite guy at the arena: Mr. Yelling "Shoot" on the Powerplay Guy.

Heh.

I love YouTube. I love that I figured out how to embed YouTube videos in my blog.

Also? I love this commercial...


G says: "Latte is English? Since when...?" I told him I think it's one of them thar' furrin' words that have made their way into the lexicon.

parenting, worrying about parenting, and worrying about worrying about parenting

I've been dreaming a lot about having a baby again. Not about physically giving birth, of course, but about actually having a baby in our care that is our child. It seems more real these days - I can actually describe the baby's features, I know the child's gender, I know how it came to be in our care - unlike my earlier dreams in which I simply found myself caring for a child with no idea how it all came to be.

I think it might be because I feel closer to actually becoming a parent than I ever have before. We haven't finished our homestudy - we both have appointments this afternoon with our doctor, who has to fill out a form for each of us, and I'll bring this last bit of paperwork to the agency either tomorrow or Monday. Then we just have to meet with the social worker, who we hope will approve us. There is still much to do, but I can see a light at the end of the tunnel.

It's not all sunshine and bunnies, though.

ever wonder what an enforcer does with all his free time in the "New NHL"™?

This made me laugh so hard I nearly pulled a muscle...

I am not a gadget person. I have never been a gadget person.

That said, I cannot wait until June, when I can buy this...
