Woo! Where have I been? Around. Working mostly. A little down. A little up. It's all going okay, though. Really.
Had a quarterly visit from my adoption specialist today. It went fine, and forced me to do a little extra house cleaning. She told me about an 11-year-old girl that may need a new placement soon. Sounded like a good possibility, and she sounds like a good kid. I told her I'd consider it. Hopefully I'll hear in a couple weeks. And for whatever reason, there are just not a lot of kids free and clear for adoption getting presented by Child Protective Services lately. I want to complain -- maybe even threaten to find a new agency... Maybe what I should do is find some other adoptive hopeful families and compare notes.
It's been a stormy night with rain, lightning and thunder - and even a couple of brief power outages. Kobi-dog hates storms. He sat with his head under my thigh through most of it. Poor guy. It's quieted down now, and so has he. Unfortunately, the clouds were heavy during the majority of the lunar eclipse, so essentially missed that. Oh, well. Next one is December 2010! Something "else" to look forward to.
Thinking I'll change my green tendrils for hot pink soon. Or maybe blue. But probably pink... Votes?

I think it's great that you're considering adopting an 11 yr old that needs help. Fantastic.
Sadie hates storms too. Will even try to hide under the bed if she can fit. Hope the situation turns out to be a good fit with the 11 year old.
an 11 year old girl sounds wonderful! What a great thing it would be for you and her. Please keep us updated :-)
I say pink for your hair next considering it sounds like you may be getting a little girl soon!
Hot pink, hot pink! M, I agree if you don't get more activity soon, I would look into other agencies ASAP. YOU are fabulous and cleared for take-off....somewhere children need a wonderful mother like you.
Just checking in on you to see how you're doing. I was glad that you mentioned Kobi in your post, I've been wondering how your boy is doing.
