"Can't seem to get my mind off of you Back here at home there's nothin' to do..."

Well, actually, there is plenty to do. I just can't keep my mind on any of it.

Our agency (who is run by a family) went on a well deserved vacation this week. I guess things are going to start picking up next week (I HOPE!!) and they decided to get away before things got busy. I'm delighted for Lori, and hope she and her family have a great time relaxing and getting away from all of our neediness. She deserves it- she's a saint. I hope she's going to a spa or something blissful.

HOWEVER, I must admit that I emitted a long, mournful wail when I read the email. Like an emu lost in the forest (do emus make noise or get lost in forests?) A one week vacation means no referrals are expected. If referrals arrive unexpectedly, no one will be there to distribute them. Our Santa Claus of adoption has gone to the North Pole, and there are no gifts under the tree for any of us while she's away.

Hopefully next Monday morning will bring much joy.

In the meantime, I am using all my Adoption Process Energy to focus on my friends who are awaiting license announcements, referrals, everything. May you have a wonderful week full of the most amazing surprises.

Chel (pronounced "shell"). 33. Mama to Gracie. Artist. Friend. Adoptive parent. Scrapbooker (not a very good one, at that). Long distance swimmer. Animal rescuer. Wife. Beader maker. Vegetarian. Rubber stamp collector.

Why the change? This new face of gingerblue.com is the culmination of three online journals/blog (the adoption blog, the baby blog, the art blog), plus the personal web page I have been maintaining since 1995. Here you'll find updates on Gracie, updates on my jewelry making, what I have going on in my art studio, and what's going on with life in general.
