A Barrel of Nelsons

So, I haven’t been saying much lately about adoption stuff. That’s ’cause I haven’t got much to say.
Well that’s not entirely accurate.
I mean I’ve got lots that I could say, but I don’t for whatever reason. There are some topics I leave well enough alone because I’m well aware that I’m not an expert. There’s [...]

So I had this grand scheme of how I was going to post everyday in August, and start it out with a long drawn out series/thingy introduction.
Then I didn’t even look here yesterday.
Oops.
Oh, well, things are so crazy around here anyways, I probably wouldn’t have made it a week.
To review the not-officially-or-even-unofficially-agreed-upon schedule -

This weekend [...]

Okay, I haven’t really been inspired lately, I’ve got half-posts in my head, but not real posts, so I thought I’d give you all an update. And by all I mean the 3 of you that might look here every week or so.

So after the smash, crash, and it’s-a-total-here’s-some-cash deal with the un-named [...]

No. Really.
Frustrated and Angry. Frustrated and Sad. Frustrated and Punching Something…
It’s about all sorts of stuff.
My job. Dinner. My weight. My sinuses. The people I work with. The people I deal with who all believe that deadlines don’t apply to them. And then want to whine at me when the newsletter is late.
Work has been [...]

Last weekend, we postponed the wedding… to no specific date…
Last weekend, Jeff did some stuff that could possibly be classified as being rather or more than rather jerk-like, but I’m big enough to say only that much.
Then I spent 4-days and 3-nights with Sara and Sam and Gavin and Pumpkin (that’s their cat).
There’s alot more [...]

We’re less than 3 months out. I’m still crazy. We’re supposed to be picking up my dress this weekend.
We found the Bridesmaid Dresses that I really wanted on the internet. My mom’s grabbing Charlotte’s (which is vic.lilac/lilac) off of eBay for about 1/2 the in-store price. Sara’s, (which is peridot/celadon) we’re trying to get through [...]

We’re making cookies. Four kinds though two are almost like the same kind with different add-ons.
The two that are alike (ones a Shortbread Cookie with Orange and one’s a Cookie with Cranberries that’s almost Shortbready), Jeff got off some foody blogs that he reads.
We’re making the Thick and Chewy Gingerbread Cookie recipe out of The [...]

Why, yes, I did go dress shopping last weekend. And I did find a dress (I haven’t bought it yet, but I found it and it’s THE One.*)
Pictures below the break…
