My Secret Pal strikes again!!!

WELL MY SECRET PAL HAS DONE IT AGAIN. SHE SENT ME A BOX OF PACKMATES FOR WHEN WE TRAVEL TO CHINA! THIS WILL HELP ME PACK ALL OF JADEN'S CLOTHES WITHOUT GOING OVER THE LIMIT!!! AND SHE ALSO SENT ME THE CUTEST DORA THE CHINESE EXPLORER! I CANT WAIT TO SEE JADEN PLAY WITH THIS. MY SECRET PAL IS THE BEST!
OH AND I HAVE TO GIVE A BIG SHOUT OUT TO LANCIE FOR BEING NICE ENOUGH TO BE MY PROP FOR HOLDING THE GIFTS FOR THE PICTURE. SHE WILL DO ANYTHING TO BE ABLE TO BE IN THE BABY'S ROOM!
GEORGETTE

121 GOOD WISHES QUILT?!?

WELL I THINK I HAVE GOTTEN ALL THE QUILT SQUARES THAT I AM GOING TO GET FOR JADEN'S QUILT, MINUS ONE THAT IS AND SHE KNOWS WHO SHE IS! IN THE PICTURE I HAVE 120 SQUARES. I CANT BELIEVE WE GOT SO MANY. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE HARD TO GET 100 HUNDRED WISHES BUT LOOK WE GOT 120!!! THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE WILD QUILT! GUESS I BETTER GET BUSY.

REFERRALS

WELL REFERRALS CAME OUT LAST WEEK. THIS TIME THEY COVERED 7/14/05-7/22/05. ONLY 9 DAYS! SO INSTEAD OF GOING FORWARD THEY ARE GOING BACKWARDS. THERE ARE NOW 236 DAYS OF REFERRALS BEFORE OURS! :-( AT THIS RATE WE WILL NEVER SEE JADEN! OR MAYBE BY SOME "MIRACLE" WE WILL GET OUR REFERRAL SOONER THEN WE THINK?!? :-) LETS KEEP OUR FINGERS AND TOES CROSSED!

I AM SUCH A SLACKER!

OK I HAVE REALLY BEEN SLACKING WHEN IT COMES TO POSTING MY SECRET PAL GIFT! ACTUALLY I HAVE TRIED MANY TIMES BUT BLOGGER WILL JUST NOT LET ME POST PICTURES. SO I FINALLY GOT THEM POSTED. MY SECRET PAL WAS SO GREAT TO ME LAST MONTH AND THIS MONTH! LAST MONTH I GOT THREE BLANKETS, HAIR BARRETTS, A CUTE BIB AND THE MOST ADORABLE WOODEN MUSIC BOX WITH LADYBUGS(LADYBUGS ARE A SIGN OF GOODLUCK IN THE ADOPTION COMMUNITY). I HAVE PLAYED THE MUSIC BOX MANY TIMES ALREADY! THEN THIS MONTH THE GIFT WAS FOR MOM AND THAT IS ME. SHE SENT ME LOTION WHICH SMELLS GREAT AND A CUTE LADYBUG PIN. MY SECRET PAL IS THE BEST! AND I PROMISE NEXT MONTH I WILL POST RIGHT AWAY!

16 MORE MONTHS!?!?!?!?!

I SURE HOPE NOT! THE LATEST REFERRALS ARE HERE. THEY COVER 6/29/05-7/13/05. THIS IS 15 DAYS. OF COURSE WE COULD LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, IT WAS 15 DAYS AND NOT 13 LIKE LAST MONTH. WHAT ARE THEY DOING ADDING 2 DAYS MORE EACH MONTH? HOPEFULLY THE REASON IT WAS SO SMALL THIS TIME IS BECAUSE THE CCAA JUST MOVED INTO THEIR NICE NEW BUILDING SO THEY HAD TO MOVE AND COULDN'T WORK ON THE REFERRALS? WHO KNOWS. SO WHERE DID I COME UP WITH THE 16 MONTH FIGURE. WELL THERE ARE 245 DAYS BETWEEN THE LAST DATE OF REFERRALS FOR THIS BATCH AND MY REFERRAL DATE OF 3/15/2006. I TOOK 245 DIVIDED BY 15(THE # 0F DAYS IN THIS BATCH) AND GOT 16.33 MONTHS UNTIL MY REFERRAL! I DON'T THINK IT WILL HAPPEN THIS WAY, THEY HAVE TO SPEED UP OR SO MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO JUMP SHIP! I GUESS THE NEXT FEW MONTHS WILL TELL. I MYSELF STILL FEEL LIKE WE WILL GET JADEN'S PHOTO IN MARCH AND TRAVEL TO CHINA THE FIRST PART OF MAY. PLEASE LET ME BE RIGHT. ALL OF HER CLOTHES ARE GOING TO ROT BEFORE SHE CAN WEAR THEM! COME ON CHINA GET BUSY!!! GET THOSE BABIES OUT OF THE ORPHANAGES AND TO THEIR FOREVER FAMILIES!
