This is the best I can do? Seriously?

I have a massive headache today. And I get to go help basketball practice here in about 45 minutes. Bouncing basketballs in an enclosed gym is really going to help my headache. But having this headache made me sit down and be still for a minute and I decided to organize my "favorites" list. Pathetic, I know. What did I learn from this little activity? I have 61 blogs bookmarked in my computer and 36 are specific to adoption from Ethiopia. I think once we get on the waiting list, I'll have plenty to read! :) And find other pathetic, mundane things to organize.

But for now, I work at our paperwork, continue adding to the "honey-do" list and get ready for our home visit next week.

That's all for now!

It's the Little Things

For two years now, I've been battling a dryer that doesn't dry very well. We kept intending to get it fixed but kept putting it off. Our units were over 10 years old so my hubby didn't really want to spend money on fixing it. But it was beginning to take 3-60 minute cycles to dry our clothes (that's 3 hours for one load if you don't want to do the math) and my patience was getting thin. So...last week I saw that washers and dryers were on sale big time and drug my hubs to go look at them. The prices were so good we decided to just buy new ones instead of spending the money to fix really old ones. They were delivered today and I think they are beautiful!!

I know....a completely boring post but for me, it's been a very good day!! :)
