Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Drat! I was all excited coming in, to tell my boss I had figured out a crazy figure we included in a document was just missing a zero. Yeah, no -- she pointed out that I was multiplying the wrong two numbers in my head. Ah well. It would be nice if any of the hundred people who read and edited this thing had reviewed the facts we were asserting!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Man, Randall Munroe has been doing that What If thing long enough to put together a book and I have yet to read any of his answers. It's very possible I am living wrong.

Because books.

I'm sorry, aurelia. That's so hard.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Im sorry, aurelia.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm sorry, Aurelia.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

HOLY SHIT.

The agency I adopted mac through is shutting down. Apparently they have been going down hill for several years, it seems mac's adoption was right at the turning point. There are accusations of fraud and unethical adoptions and they are filing for bankruptcy.

I just do not even know. I have emailed asking to be sent any files they have on him with info I may not have. I still have to send the Ethiopian government reports until hew turns 18, but now I will just do that directly to Ethiopia (means I cannot do it online anymore).

I need to probably research with other families a trusted person in Ethiopia that I can now use to try and find mac's family. crap.

I am so sorry, Aurelia.

Holy crap, msbelle! Can that affect your adoption?

Because books.

That's a little alarming.
