Overheard while unpacking: (Putting together bags of things that have to go back to the Homo Depot for the 112th time this weekend): Who's going to return this? Anyone? Cats? Answer: Not me! You can't make me! I won't do it! I won't go back there! No no no no no! (Putting together stupid chairs from Ikea): Are you annoyed with me? Answer: Actually, I want to push you off this porch right now. But it doesn't mean I love you any less. (Holding up newly purchased fire extinguisher): Where do you want this? Answer: Up your asshole... unless you think you can find room for it in the pantry. (Unclogging garbage disposal around 2 am): Look at me! I'm a homeowner! Look at me!

I found An Elephant's Gestation through J. in Portland, and I was so surprised to see that M. is YOU!

It felt really good to see you at the ODS conference last month; I only wish we'd had a moment to talk after the last session. Before attending the conference, I felt so alone with our adoption plans, but then I kept running into people I know. My heart goes out to you during this time of waiting.

On a different note, congratulations to you and I. on the purchase of your new home! -------- COMMENT-AUTHOR: Anonymous COMMENT-DATE:3:45 PM COMMENT-BODY:M., congrats on your new home, and your plans to adopt! I hope you don't mind me cyber-stalking you, but AJWP told me about your blog. Mine is down at the moment but I promise it will be back up soon. I tend to use it to complain a lot. ;) --------
