My Laptop

It came! WOOHOO! I'm on right now. I'm so very happy!!

While it came from the POST OFFICE. Thanks USPS. No thanks to DHL who apparently isn't coming to my town anymore. Jerks. ;)

Whatever. At least it's here!!!

DHL

DHL - oh how I loathe thee!

I can't not say I've had a good experience EVER with DHL' s shipping company. And this time is no different. I'm certain it doesn't help that I live in Nowhere, WY but UGH. UPS manages just fine! Fedex always works. So what is the big deal?

I ordered a new laptop from Dell - who always uses DHL these days.

So, as I'm tracking the laptop (I want to be home when it arrives!), I see it go from NV to SLC. Woohoo I think! That's so close.... Well, it went from SLC - 5 hours WEST of me to Aurora, CO (Denver) which is 4 hours South EAST of me. Idiots. They had to pass my house to manage that.

But I understand, major hubs responsible for certain areas I'm sure. Whatever.

Then it leaves Aurora & says "tranferred for delivery" - whatever that means because it didn't come that day.

And this morning... it's in Rock Springs! That's 120 miles WEST of here again.

That means my laptop passed my house AGAIN.

And now it just says "in transit to" - not out for delivery. Perhaps they want to take it to Laramie? 100 miles on the other side of me???? ACK!

Introducing my NEPHEW!!

Adoption #2

We had our appt today. It was fun!

I had all the paperwork to start working on. Our caseworker is the nicest guy! He was very realistic. Hopeful but not unrealistic and not pessimistic.

Not much else to report. He did say he thinks we can have everything all done by the end of October. And had a plan all laid out for that. Very exciting!!!

Wrong Way!

On the way to church yesterday, Drew passed the street we needed to turn on (he was chatting with me). And Leah - from the back - yells "hey! I want to go to church!"

"We are going, Leah."

"But..."

Suddenly I realized she KNOWS we went the wrong way. So I had to reassure her that daddy passed the street & he would go back to the right place.

Drew & I then resumed talking as he drove through a neighborhood to get back to where we needed to be. And when we turned onto the right street all the sudden Leah yells...

"THIS is the right street!"

I can't believe she knows the way! And it's not like you could see the church from there. We were still about 8 blocks away & a street over. We really were just then back on the right path. Crazy!

Unknown Fact

Oops. I left that blank. Thanks Jaycey ;)

So here's the thing. I'm an open book. I'll tell you just about anything about myself. Whenever I hit questions like that I'm completely stumped.

So I was gonna go back to that question & I forgot. lol

Let's see....

I need to pee right now? that's cheating.

Um...

I went by my first name - Anna - for one year. In 3rd grade. I don't know why I wanted to do that. But since I had it switched on my records at school (mom had registered me as just Camille to begin with) no one would ever change it back because legally my name is Anna Camille. And that followed me through school for the rest of my education. Such a pain.

"Anna?"

"Here. I go by Camille."

Adoption Update #2

We have a new caseworker in Denver. Dan.

He called me yesterday.

Well, first. On Sunday I got a call from a woman that works for the office in Utah but lives in Wyoming. She wanted to talk to us about where we were in the process. I mentioned I thought we were being transferred to Denver & she didn't have any idea what I was talking about! lol She said she'd call me back when she found it. Whatever!

So yesterday (Thursday) Dan calls and says he got our file about 10 minutes ago. He's coming through here next Tuesday & would we like to meet! Hooray!

So he thinks that we can get most every done in 3 visits. He comes through here once a month. So our 3rd visit would be in October & if I can get all the paperwork done in the meantime we can be waiting soon. That's so exciting!

And even though Drew is not working full time right now we are getting some money at the first of September we can pay the inital fee with & then go from there.

At least some things are moving along! :)

Harry Potter Husband Test

This is funny! My sister took it & was Mrs. Bill Wesley.

Your result for The Harry Potter Husband Test...

Mrs. Harry Potter

Your perfect HP man is Harry Potter.

You like a guy who's not afraid to fight evil when evil picks a fight. There's a lot to say for bravery in the face of overwhelming odds, even if it does come with a prejudice against people who don't fit into his conception of "good guy" and a penchant for hurling objects across rooms when he gets angry. But in fairness, for an orphan who's spent the better part of his life being hunted by the most evil wizard in existence, he's turned out pretty well. Just be prepared to name your kids after everyone he's ever lost, because he's got a bit of an obsession about the past.

Moments

Some of my favorites for the last couple of days...

Drew asked Leah if she would like to come with him to go to the store.

L: For what, Daddy?
D: Line for the weed whacker

When they arrived at the store - "Daddy, is this the weed whacker store??"

***

Bring me a big teddy bear - "Mommy, my bear doesn't feel well."

I don't know why that caught me so off guard. She's two. Should she say "bear sick, mommy" or something like that?

***

Drew asked Leah - "Do you want to go for a walk with me?" (calling up to her from the main floor to upstairs)

Leah screams back excitedly - "let me just get dressed real fast!"

***

I know that stuff is cutest to me but I thought I'd share anyway ;)
