I have a lot of random things I wanted to talk about on my blog but haven’t been able to take the time to sit down and blog about each one of them.  Instead, here’s some snippets of what’s been going on or on my mind:

1. 1. My big 3-0 is just around the corner!!  I somehow convinced my husband to take me to the happiest place on earth for the entire weekend - VEGAS!!  I’m so excited.  Oh how I love Vegas.  My poor husband, however, does not love Vegas {yeah, I don’t see how that’s possible either}.  So it’s a big thing that not only are we going but he’s going with me!
   2. I’ve been watching Teen Mom on M TV.  There’s a firstmom on the show named Catelynn.  They’ve been filming her as she’s been dealing with the adoption.  The episode where she went to the support weekend was touching.  I’ve been glued to my tv when her story is on there.  It’s supposed to be an open adoption and I know that there are varying degrees of openness in open adoption, but I was very surprised that she didn’t have access to basic things like their last name or a way to directly communicate with the APs.
   3. I mentioned to my parents that I wanted Chloe’s birthday party this year to be low-key {in years past we did a big 30+ people party that were always a big undertaking for me}.  The first thing they said was, “it wasn’t low-key before?”  and the second thing was, “okay, so you want it to be just us, you two, and Chloe?”  LOL  Love how they managed to not let me not include them in her birthday plans.
   4. Chloe has recently become more interested in her barbiedolls {did you know that there is a Joan Jett barbiedoll??  I totally would have bought it had it not cost more than $30}.  I was pleasantly surprised to discover that her dolls have panties on {it’s just designs on that part of their body}, until I discovered the doll that has a thong on.
   5. oh dear, i’m going to be thirty.
   6. I’ve given myself a big project.  I’m kind of excited about it.  More on that later when I’ve completed enough of it to show people.
   7. I made myself promise not to take the baby stuff out of storage until I take down all the xmas decorations and put them away.  You would think that would be enough incentive to get off the computer and put my xmas decorations away.  Okay okay.  I’ll do it before we leave for vegas. . . .
   8. We’re going to our adoption support group meeting next week!!  This is the first one we’ve been to since J first got in contact with us.  A lot has been going on so I’ve been going nuts waiting for one that we can go to.
   9. I’m wanting to do a major hair change for my bday.
