6 months

So we've been quiet, but there really hasn't been much to report. :) Just waiting. We recently passed our 6 month mark. The average wait has gone up from 18 months to 20, so we're probably looking at getting a match in December 2011 and hopefully getting our child/ren by summer 2012.

It's hard to be patient, as the more time goes by, the older I realize we're going to be when we're new parents. I know you're not supposed to factor that in, but here I am doing it anyway.

But I must say, we're keeping very busy. Ry's getting ready to record his CD, and I'm going through another fun cooking phase (cooking lots or squash, root vegetables, apple stuff, etc.) and have recently become very addicted to the Sookie Stackhouse mystery series. It's perfect school-year reading and I always catch up on my reading as I eat breakfast and before I go to sleep. I've been having fun with my piano recently and played around with some Chopin today. Who, by the way, totally rocked. In his own way. I've been lazy about my artwork since I got back from my August watercoloring class. (This is probably the worst paragraph written in the history of writing. It just ain't cohesive!)

Right now, I'm feeling a bit exhausted after coming back from a weekend wedding and getting ready for the week ahead at school, which I'm not looking forward to for some reason this week. I miss summer relaxation so much! I miss hanging out in the garden! I miss not walking out the front door without a coat or shoes! Plus I feel a rare cold coming on, so that's making me feel a bit whiny.

Must stop, lest the whinyness get out of control. Toodles!
