Happy Thursday! I haven't decided exactly what I am going to do with this blog. I want people to be able to use it to keep updated on our adoption but let's face it, that is going to take some time. So I have decided to just post random thoughts most of you don't care about it in hopes that you will continue to come back and visit in anticipation of some adoption updates.

Today I do have a little bit of an update. I called our agency yesterday to see what we needed to do now. Of course they said, "Send more money!" We have to prepay for our seminar and they won't take reservations until about 30 days out - then only 4 or 6 couples get in. YIKES! They really should have told me that. Anyway, I told her we will definitely be there and she put me down to call in case it starts filling up. I am trying to wait until Mid-May to pay for it. I am working really hard at work to have a nice little bonus by then. I have this plan in my head how to pay for everything as we go along and I am not ready to start dipping into savings yet - save that for the bigger stuff like the crimal background checks and homestudy & our profile release! Our homestudy will be a little more than most because we will have to pay for a social worker to drive to Kansas from Oklahoma. Oh well - it is all going to be worth it. For all the travel we do, we really should move back to OK. But, we won't. Atleast not right now.

Oh I do have one piece of good news - I won the lottery! Yep - I won the lottery! J's work gives them out as incentives from time to time and he brought some home last night. I won $10.00 off one "free" scratch-off ticket! Then I won $7.00 more dollars off the remaining tickets. So my lottery take was $17.00 - tax free, baby! I made Jay go cash them in and bring home Chipotle for dinner - YUM!! I was so tired last night I went to bed right after dinner. I missed the 10pm Sex & The City so you know I had to be tired. I live for Sex & The City reruns! Speaking of Sex & The City, I realized a couple of days ago, much to my shock, that I am not Carrie. All this time, I thought, I am totally Carrie. I write. I am fashion forward. I am funny & sarcastic like Carrie. I am a HUGE proponent of retail therapy. and I can rationalize anything, just like Carrie. But alas, it is not true. I am soooooo Charlotte. What can I say? It's true. Like it or not, I am Charlotte. Hey - could be worse, I could have realized I was Samantha!
