Friday Night Lights

I usually blog early in the morning before my workday starts but I've had a lot on my mind today so felt like writing. Next week I have an important Doctors appt (nothing life threatening) as well as our homestudy update for the adoption. We're going on 17 months of waiting and I (the impatient one with the control issues) have now made a Facebook page to help promote our adoption. We even have a low budget ad running to help promote the page. It can't hurt and it keeps me busy. That page is not connected in any way to my personal facebook page, nor will it be since if we were to meet a birthmom through Facebook, we wouldn't want our Last name known. That's a no-no in the adoption world. Also in the realm of trying to keep busy with positive things I've decided that I want to / I want us to volunteer more. I love volunteerism and it's something that forever ago, I was really into. Ron did quite a bit of volunteering too in years past. There is an organization called Dining Out for Life that Ron has worked with in the past. You can sign up with them to basically host an evening at a Restaraunt, invite friends and family to dine there and then the establishment donates a portions of their proceeds from the event to help fund Aids service organizations. We'll be hosting on Thursday 4/28 at The Pop Shop in Collingswood. Check out http://www.diningoutforlife.com/ I've also been all about compiling a list of goals. Call it a bucket list if you will but I'm just not getting any younger and there are things that I want to do that I always talk about doing someday... but never do. Lord knows I am a list-maker and once it's on a list.. it must get done. This includes anything from cooking classes to learning another language, reading atleast a book a month and continuing my education in one way or another. Anywho... That's all for now. Waking up early in the am for errands and some yardwork. Have a great weekend!
