4 months. . .

I haven't posted in a while since there's been no real activity on the adoption front.  But that doesn't mean I've been up to nuthin'!!

Just got back from a week-long beach getaway to Siesta Key, Florida, with my crazy Korean friend S.  She is such a trip to travel with!  We don't get to see each other too often as she lives in Phoenix, but we try to travel somewhere once a year.  Siesta Key was adorable.  It's a little island off the coast near Sarasota and has this cool, "tucked away" feel.  Once you cross the bridge, it's like being on a little tropical island.  You can practically hear the Jimmy Buffett soundtrack in the background!  We ate lots of fish and Indian food (they actually had a really good Indian place right over the bridge) and sat on the beach.  It was so nice to get away for a little bit.

I'm also the proud (addicted) owner of a new iPhone 3Gs!  I can't believe I lived without his thing for so long!!!  The apps are so cool and the e-mail features are highly functional.  This device is just light-years beyond my trusty old Sidekick.  I felt bad leaving T-Mobile after 10+ years, but their hardware just doesn't compete.  I'm practically attached to the thing!  It actually came in handy in FL because the Google Maps and Yelp app made it so easy to find restaurants and shops.

I also just installed a new, 500GB, external hard drive I picked up at Costco for $69.  My old hard drive is starting to sound wheezy and doesn't always connect on start-up, so I'm trying to prevent data-loss heartbreak before it happens.  With all this technology, I feel soooo 21st century!!

My lust for all things baby and nursery seems to have died off kind of suddenly.  The nursery is almost done - I'm just waiting for the nightstand, which got held up in shipping, to arrive sometime this week or next.  Once that's in, I'll put down the little shag rug I got for the room and we'll be done.  I have a small handful of items left on the stockpile list, but nothing I need immediately.  I am, however, lusting for two other things!  I really would like a new camera, as our old Kodak digital is pathetic.  I think the iPhone actually has a better camera on it.  I'd lurrrve a digital SLR, but they are so expensive!!  Costco has some nice packages, and I'm hoping prices will come down before Christmas.  My other wishlist item is an adapter for the iPhone for my car.  I don't really want a new stereo deck, just one of those adapters that allows you to plug the phone in to an auxiliary jack on the system. 

Can you tell I'm addicted to the iPhone??????
