All over the place.

1) I have about approximately 10 billion unread posts in my bloglines. Yep, it's gonna be a 'mark read' kinda month for me. Hey, it's not that I'm not thinking of you. I just haven't had the skates off for long lately.

2) The 'It' in my attic seems to have moved on (Thank you, all things holy.) I have heard nary a peep since the night when it sounded like furniture moving up there.

3) Have you seen the rumors? Word is we are matched through 2/28/06. Okay, so I know I am next but usually when there is a cut off rumor the referrals are not long behind. I'll believe it when I see it (just have to play it that way). Still, I read that little tidbit this morning and then promptly puked. Lovely.

4) Pictures of some thoughtful and much-appreciated goodies:

As I noted before, this beautiful mama sent these fun things...

For my piglet (or so I suspect she will be a piglet):

Great stuff that will be sure to get a lot of use:


The other day, these beautiful Mother-Daughter pendants arrived as a holiday surprise! Thank you so much, Little Maple's mom.

And, finally, this 'with it' mom has done my packing for me! I love a practical gal and I had quite a laugh of deep appreciation when this package arrived on Christmas Eve. It included disposable bibs, phrase cards in Mandarin, a money belt, a snazzy Vera Bradley airline bag and, the piece de resistance....4 rolls of Charmin to Go (pun intended). I love it.

5) Just because I thought this was cute. Yes, Jorgie is a messy eater so never mind the slop-over. It was Jake that made me laugh. He is patiently waiting in line...ever so closely ;0)

6) I am going to be seriously challenged in the focus department over the coming days. I just hope I don't start throwing up every time the phone rings! Then again...hmmm. Nah, not the way to do it.

7) I hope your holidays were wonderful. My past week has been a winner. Only one missing has been one wee girl. I'm leaving a light on for her.

8) Ciao!

That's one early RQ rumor, eh? I am so psyched!!!!!! Leave that light on all night long, cuz we may be getting an early arrival here girlie! Fingers crossed. LOVE all the goodies you've received! And I hear you on the Bold Bloglines- I never have time anymore!

I am writing this as I host friends for dinner who are in town. They borrowed my computer to check email and I took a quick gander at Bloglines and saw RQ's post. Like many I thought of you and came here to see what you had to say and what was going on.

I have told our friends that I am putting the laptop back but really I am writing this and I have a HUMONGOUS smile! I am raising my glass of wine and "cheersing" that soon (and if RQ is not full of crap with this rumour) that you are going to be seeing your daughters face in the next few days!

No better way to start 2009!!

Keep smilin!

You must be ready to bounce off the walls!!

You have some nice gifts there.

Liz and Ava said...

So excited for you!...can't wait to see those referals!

Christi and Abbey said...

I can't believe I am seeing "action" starting on your blog. You've been waiting for so long I have to rework in my mind that you will soon be morphing into a real time mommmy! The practical gifts you got are perfect. I have to check RQ all the time now so that I can keep tabs on you...this is soooo exciting!! Red Rover, Red Rover send Pipo on over!

Tammie said...

Finally! You're so close I can almost taste it!

Mom 2 six said...

I can not wait !
My kiddos can not wait for the "duck lady" to see her daughter !
How exciting ~

J said...

Come on stork, you can fly faster than that. A very special momma is waiting. I wish I had some words of wisdom on how to focus after receiving one's referral, but I don't. Maybe just bring a bigger baseball mitt!! Here's to hoping your partner get's back in the saddle soon so you can have plenty of time to gaze at the picture of your little one.

Saw the rumor and have been thinking of you. The puking will stop....eventually.

Looks like some wondeful friends have been setting you up with all kinds of goodies. I am happy for you.

Can't wait for news. Know you are in my thoughts.

Tami said...

Just so you know, I'm going to be virtually stalking you and RQ for the next few days. I can't wait to hear your news!!! YIPPPPEEEEE!!! It's going to be soon...I can feel it in my bones! :)
As far as the puking is concerned...don't most expectant mom's do that anyway? :)

Sandra said...

I hope the rumor is true. That would be awesome!

I know you're swamped and distracted. If you get a chance, stop by and see my last post. You might see something familiar. I'm sorry in advance. ;o)
