Top 10 list for Thursday

Here's my brain dump for today. I keep thinking "Oh, I need to tell xxxxx...." So here is my top 10 list for Thursday:

1. Cheryl told me that we need to give Irina back the $$ she gave back to us. Wasn't sure you had received that message.

2. I went to the liquor store today and have my tequila and cognac, so I'm good on that front.

3. IA doctor confirmed that Mr. Henry has scabies and is calling in prescription(s).

4. Dale says we don't need to staple anything into our passport - the sticker visa is all we need for the next trip.

5. I don't want work anymore.

6. Henry's room is all put together and waiting for him now.

7. I have no idea what to pack for Henry.

8. Barb hasn't called back with any travel info yet.

9. I don't want to work anymore (although, I may have already said this).

10. Three weeks from today, we will both offically be parents!

A thank you for my baby shower

You guys really outdid yourselves. I cannot tell you how blown away I still am about the whole thing!

Everything was beautiful - the tables with the diapers, the candles in the baby food jars, the 'count the jelly beans', the 'sign the picture frame', the tooling (I'm sure I am spelling this wrong) on ALL of the chairs, the baby sock corsage, the 'It's a Boy!' sash, and I could go on and on and on. And yes, the cake was yummy!

Every one was so extremely generous, especially all of you! I appreciate all of your hard work and creative minds. I appreciate your enthusiasm over all of the things, big and small, that I received for Henry. And most of all, I appreciate all of your endless support and bottomless hearts in loving me and Henry. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! I love you all so very much. Henry is one fortunate little boy to come home to such a special extended family.

All this is said as I listen to Cookie Monster sing "C is for Cookie and that's good enough for me!"

A note from Seoul

Here I am at the internet cafe in Seoul. It is $2 for 50 minutes, so I figured I could afford to drop you all a note. :-)

The flight to LA was uneventful, I slept some. My layover in LA was about 2 1/2 hours. The walk to the international terminal was about 1/2 a mile, but it was good to walk around after sitting so long. I found the other couple that I am traveling with. They seem very nice and down to earth.

Remember the little girl at the end of my referral video (Violetta)? That is their little girl. How ironic is that!!

The flight between LA and Seoul was looooonnnnnngggggg. Fortunately, it was not full, so there was an extra seat next to me. I managed to sleep about 6 or 7 hours. They served two meals and they were okay.

I will be here in Seoul for another 2 1/2 hours. We are wondering whether we will go and meet the children right away, or whether we will get to freshen up. I feel like I am a sweaty, stinky mess. So I am hoping we get to freshen up.

Okay, guess that's all that I have to report for now. It is 7:30 in the morning here, and 5:30 in the afternoon (the day before) at home. So I'm not sure when you'll get this message. But I wanted y'all to know that I got this far safe and sound.
