Yup...I lost 7 pounds. You are thinking...wow...what fast progress on the New Year's diet.
Only, I lost that 7 pounds in ONE DAY!
Stomach bug my friends...and MAN was it a bad one. I mean 7 pounds in 1 day!!! Are you serious!
So our long weekend during which we were going to visit with friends we didn't see for Christmas, organize the house, take down what little Christmas sutff we put up, and generally relax...was ruined. I spent it either in the bathroom or passed out, and poor Pauly spent it being Saint Pauly tending to my every need, feeding me, getting me ginger ale, rubbing my head and just being sweet to me.
So now I am seriously behind in all that needs to be done in my house. I have started a little notebook of to do lists, to buy lists, to pack lists, etc...and I need to get cracking on it!!!
The silver lining...I am 7 pounds ahead on the diet for 2009!!! Instead of having 20 pounds left to go...now I only have 12!!! YIPEE!!!
In adoption news...well there isn't any. We are still waiting to hear about our first ruling. Tien, our agency coordinator spent the holidays in Taiwan and is expected back in the office tomorrow. We are all hoping she returns with referrals, hearing dates, and first and final rulings.
Once we have our first ruling, we will have a much better, although not accurate, estimate of when we might be travelling to meet Olivia Hsin-Hua.
Fingers crossed we hear something soon.
PS...On New Year's Eve I got the BEST reaction to our adoption ever!!! Are you ready? Wait for it...
"Oh my gosh...you are adopting? You are like Charlotte on Sex and the City! That is SO cool!"
Are you serious! Now THAT is hysterical!

I am so sorry to hear about your "extreme dieting". Sounds horrid! I am hoping you get some good news this week about the hearing...I have a feeling Tien will bring back lots of goodies for all!

Heather,
You gave me a laugh when I read that. What should we title the book??? "The dumb things people say when you adopt? or THe dumb people who say things when you adopt?"
I hope you hear this week...Glad you are feeling better, but jealous you lost 7 lbs already.
lol

Ugh, the stomach flu is the worst!!!
I haven't heard that one yet, but I have twice been told that I am doing the "Angelina Jolie thing" - as if!
Here's to a week filled with good news!

wow, can you pass the bug along to me?? sick.....I will do sick if I can just get a jumpstart on losing weight. I am so sorry you were sick, but congrats on the jumpstart. Hope you are feeling better.
I am laughing my hiney off to the Charlotte comment, hopefully it was not a good friend, and if they were I hope they are not any longer. I am so glad she said "like Charlotte, and not Samantha"
Hoping for all of us that Tien comes back with lot's of good info.
good to hear from you, and hope it is smooth sailing with your list.
that would have made me giggle. hope you are feeling better
Hi Heather!
