Finally it's time....
I'll be watching the opening ceremonies this evening with a cocktail in hand. The next 2 weeks should be interesting. We're watching history being made, people. I might even need two cocktails for that. :P

Random Bullet-ness
I'm pretty sleepy right now since I was up past midnight last night. Confession. I was watching Tori give birth to baby Stella. If you can figure out what I mean.... don't hold it against me. I happen to like her and her handsome hubby. They're a cute couple. In spite of the whole leaving their spouses to be together sordid affair stuff......
Speaking of my sister, she's due August 19th. But she has a pattern of delivering about 10 days before the doctor's prediction. Which means this weekend could be Baby T's big entrance.
We're all holding our breath to see how that goes. I told her the moment she feels the very first contraction or little leak of water breaking she needs to run... not walk ... to the car and get to the hospital. Otherwise we'll have a repeat of the bathtub incident. I'll let y'all know..... By the way, I swiped the pic from her blog. I figured since she posted it, she wouldn't mind if I showed it over here, too. That's some belly, eh? :)
My new diaper bag came in the mail. I love it! But the color is a little more peachy pink than I'd prefer. But I love the style. So I'm sticking with it. Unless something else catches my eye sometime in the next 2 years before my referral. I only wish I were joking....
The rumors are that the CC*AA is gonna match thru January 27th. That's 2 days, peeps. Which really vigorously inhales (wink, Robin). It's going to take them 8 months just to refer all the log in dates in January. I'm in June. If they keep up that pace, I'll get a referral sometime in 2010. Hopefully. But let's not go there just now.....
The countdown is on to the big O. It's only 2 days away. No... not that big O. The Olympics, silly! I'm looking forward to the opening ceremony. I plan to be in front of my TV with a cocktail. As interested as I am to watch some of this unfold and as exciting as it is to realize this historical event is being held in the birthplace of my daughter...truth is I can't wait for it to be over. It's all I've heard about for the last 2 1/2 yrs since I started this adoption. I just want them behind me. Behind all of us....
I'm all tuckered out, folks. And my bullets don't want to work... so you just get plain old unexciting paragraphs. It's the best I can do. Nite y'all.

Questions Answered: Part 5
Pugmama asked "What are you wearing?"
Nothing but a smile, babe. ;)
Rhonda asked "How much is that doggy in the window?"
He's priceless. Besides... my doggy is NOT for sale.
Alison asked "What is the strangest talent you have?
I'm double jointed. Freakishly cool, eh?
Alison also asked "Did you have a childhood nickname?"
Nope. Not really. Until I got to jr high. That's when my BFF and I decided to call ourselves Special K and Little D (she was and still is 4'11). Don't blame us. It was the 80's Run DMC era.
Alison again "What is your ringtone?"
Right now it's just the boring standard generic cell phone ring. Cuz I'm too lazy to pick something else. But when I had my old phone it used to be that song by the Pussycat Dolls. You know...."Dontcha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?" Uh-huh (said with a snap)... that's back when I thought I was all that and a bag of chips. Which sadly was about 60 lbs ago. :(
Alison just kept it up with the questions and asked "Are you spunky? Do you like your oatmeal lumpy?"
You've met me. Do you think I'm spunky? I'm thinking you'd answer.... uhhh... yes. And girlfriend, I love my oatmeal lumpy!
Janet asked "What is your favorite kind of cereal? (Dumb question, because of your blog name?)"
I have no idea what the blog name reference means in relation to cereal, Janet. Is that some kinda Canadian thing that us Yanks aren't aware of? Cuz I have no idea here. But to answer the question. I love cereal. All kinds. I don't have just one favorite. I love Life, Raisin Bran, Lucky Charms, Frosted Mini Wheats, Cocoa Krispies.... I could go on and on. I love cereal.
Janet also asked "Do you floss?"
I paid for braces on my teeth when I was 24. I was fanatical about cleaning my teeth for the few years I had to wear those things. But now the answer would have to be... I don't floss nearly as much as my dentist would prefer.
Ava's family asked "Why do you and The Princess always seem to end up sharing a bed?"
Cuz we like each other. A lot. :P
Liene asked "Have you traveled outside the US - not including Canada & Mexico?"
Nope. Unless you count the ports of call on a couple cruises I've been on. Places like San Juan, St Thomas, Cayman and Jamaica. I've been to Mexico a few times. And I'll just apologize now to all my Canadian fans and say that sadly, I've yet to go to visit your country. But I hear it's a nice place in spite of the igloos and dog sleds, right Catherine & Doris? LOL! (Sorry... inside joke.) I love to travel but unfortunately it costs. If money were no object I'd travel all over Europe. I have London, Paris, and somewhere in Italy on my list of things to do before I die though. I'll make it there at some point.
Liene also asked "When you were a teenager which celebrity were you in love with?"
My side of the bedroom was plastered with Duran Duran posters. I actually remember having this one up on the wall! Ahh.. the memories. 
Liene again "Who is you favorite Disney character?"
Sorry. I don't have one. Never gave it much thought.
Liene had a lot of questions. "If you could learn any language which one would it be and why?"
I'd love to be able to speak another language. Mandarin would be a good choice to have that connection for my daughter. French or Italian would be good choices just because they're so sophisticated and sexy. But Spanish would be the most practical for the sake of my job. We've had a big increase in our Hispanic population here recently. To be able to communicate more effectively would be huge.
M3 asked "What's the worst hairdo you've ever had?"
Man.. I've had a few bad hairstyles. But I think my family would agree the worst was around freshman year of high school when I sported this wet looking hard as concrete hairdo. I'd put a bunch of gel in it while it was still wet and then blow dry my bangs straight up and over to the side. Oh, I forgot to mention I had a really curly perm. The end result was like a jerri curl looking thing with big bangs. But since I'm just a white girl I couldn't achieve that "juicy" hair look. Instead it ended up looking wet but was crunchy and my bangs were so hard I could've put an eye out. It was bad. And no, I won't be sharing pictures.
Island Girl asked "Are you ever going to show us your house now that you are done painting? You said you would!"
Yes... eventually I will. I was trying to wait until it was completely finished. Not just the paint. The painting is done. But I'm changing the whole style of the living and dining rooms. The curtains are still in the process of being made. That's pretty much the last thing to do. But my mom is working on them. When it's completely completed, I'll share. :)
Island Girl also asked "If the color pink never existed what would your house be colored now?"
Well thank gawd that's not the case. Cuz I can't even entertain the thought of anything else. There is no other choice for me. Pink is my color. But if I have to answer the question, I'd say fuschia. Or is that just another word for pink? LOL!
Amy asked "What is your favorite guilty food?"
All of it. Remember the 60 lbs I mentioned earlier? That's called "2 yrs of the adoption wait weight". Seriously. I only wish I were joking.
Happy Weekend, y'all!
