Day Six - Favourite Superhero and Why

My favourite superhere is Jean Grey (Pre-Pheonix era). What can I say? I mean what women wouldn't find a female superhere who can read minds and move things with her own mind pretty darn awesome? I know I certainly do!

I'd love to have the powers of mind-reading and telekenisis! Those would be awesome superpowers. Not to mention that Famke Janson looked AWESOME (done in my best annoying Walmart commercial mom voice) in X-Men United! I loved her hairstyle. In fact, I've worn that basic haristyle for most of the last 8 years!



My mom is doing some better today. She's still in the hospital and they aren't really sure what is causing her problems. All her bloodwork, EKG's and scans have come back clear, so the doctor is perplexed. She has more tests scheduled for outpatient on Wednesday of this week. Hopefully, she'll be able to go home tomorrow. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers!

Day Five - A Picture of Somewhere You've Been To

Today has been a very long and tiring day. My mom woke me up this morning at 5:37am having chest pain and upper back pain that was radiating down both arms. The Hubs and I got up and quickly got dressed, then went and picked her up from work and carried her to the ER. We were there all day, first in ER and then in PCU when they admitted her for observation. She's still there overnight and The Hubs and I are at home to get some rest. We'll be heading back to the hospital tomorrow.

In the meantime, please forgive me for a short and to the point post, but here is a photo of the Fremont Street Experience from our trip to Las Vegas earlier this year in March. I hope you enjoy the photo! I thought the whole thing was truly amazing!

Day Four - A Habit You Wish You Didn't Have or Something You're Looking Forward To

I like both aspects of this post, so I think I'll answer them both =D

A habit that I have that I wish I didn't have is that I often start things, but fail to finish them. Or I take forever to finish them. I have lots of big ideas, but very little follow-through. It's not even that I'm not motivated, but more that I have so much going on that I lose my motivation. I've tried to limit the number of things I'm involved with, but, even then, I find myself getting too involved in some things to be productive at others. It's something I really dislike about myself.

I wish I could focus on one thing and do a great job of it, rather than spreading my interest across a myriad of endeavours. You would think this would mean that I'd do a poor job of most everything I do, but that's not the case! No, because I'm also a perfectionist, I don't allow myself to do a poor showing of most things. A slow showing, maybe, but not a poor one. This results in me always feeling tired, disappointed and a bit of a failure. I need to work on curbing this bad habit.

Something I'm looking forward to? Well, that's an easy one! I'm looking forward to adopting and being a mother!

The Hubs and I thought we had gotten ourselves onto the list to be called for orientation with the State of Georgia a few weeks ago. We were just waiting for a call, but we never heard anything. So, after several phone calls and redirections to different people, we finally discovered we were not on the list as we thought. So....we got to start all over. However, as of this past Tuesday, we are officially on the wait list to be called for orientation! I can hardly wait to get the call and get started working towards our adoption =D

I will be a very, very happy woman when we finally get to a point we can have a child placed with us. So exciting!

Day Three - A Picture of You and Your Friends

Okay, so I don't have a single photo of myself with more than two of my friends (counting The Hubs) and me in the same photo, so......I decided to take several photos and make a collage!

Pictured starting at the top are: Lady V and me; me and Boop (my eldest niece); Snow White; (second line) Rosie Posie; me and The Hubs; the wonderful and awesomeKristin; (final row) me, K-Bear and the beautiful and amazing Ms. Thrift (K-Bear's mommy); J, me and The Hubs.

I hope you enjoy this collage as much as I enjoyed making it and as much as I've enjoyed making and being friends with these wonderful people!
