Slacker..

I know.. I'm a slacker!! BUT have news!!! We sent off 10 documents to the Chinese Consulate in Houston on July 25th and I picked them up last Saturday at the post office. All beautifully authenticated!! WAHOOO 11 down two to go!! Then on Aug 1st we went down the the USCIS office in Tampa to be fingerprinted. Wow I was totally impressed with how organized the entire experience was! We were 20mins early for our 11am appts. We filled out this form and I was taken back first. It's that nifty new electronic finger printing machine! They roll your finger on a glass window and it comes up on the computer screen! VERY cool! I was done at 10:58am..2 mins before my actual appt time!! Then it was David's turn.. we were all done by 5-10after eleven!! now what do we do??? The baseball game wasn't till 3pm! We took our time and drove down to St. Pete. Stopped at a most AWESOME Publix. I told David.. we need to move here!! We decided that we would have to stop here on our way home and pick up a few things! We ate lunch at this nice little Greek restaurant and got the the stadium around 2pm. It was raining everywhere this day!! We watched the Blue Jays do BP and hung out. We got our seats in the Club Level..figured what the heck! I forgot how cold it can be up there... brrrr!
This was one of those days we were glad the D-Rays play in a dome.. it POURED OUTSIDE!! We could hear it on the dome!! First it would get dark, then you'd hear the rain then it'd get light again and get dark.. and pour! crazy weather! Oh and wow the Rays won! They hardly ever win when we go see a game! It was a very exciting game too!!
On the way home we got David some new windshield wipers.. those teflon ones.. SUCK! Then of course stopped at that Publix! They had nuts in bulk! We got some raw cashews for Murphy and some unsalted pistachios for Chester! and picked up some ravioli for dinner. We didn't get home till 8:30pm or so.. geez what a long day! It rained rained all the way home.. ug... I was glad David drove.. Thanks sweetie!
OK. so back to the adoption stuff.. I asked my sister if they would be our Just in CASE anything happened to us for our daughter and she said yes.. Thanks Carol!! You guys are the best! We sent that information to our social worker.. now the only thing holding us up is David's autobiography!!!! He NEEDS TO GET THAT DONE and off to the social worker so she can put the home study together and send to the USCIS!!! I have been the biggest NAG!! All I can say is.. He BETTER finish it up today! IF anyone talks to him... bug him about it for me.. please!
Well that's where we are.. doing pretty good!!! Soon our Dossier will be in China and the big Wait begins...
Later everyone!
