tag. i'm it.

Clearly Dianna thinks I need more distractions, because she tagged me. Swell. So, here's how this one works. I'm supposed to go to imdb.com, look up ten of my favorite television shows (past or present), and list three of the ‘plot keywords’ they use to describe the show. Then anyone reading can try to guess the titles of the shows described. Alright already, lets give this a whirl.

Be advised, some of these may be tricky.

1. Suit/ Flying / Famous Opening Theme
2. Gadget Car / Automobile / Artificial Intelligence
3. Aviation / Helicopter / 80s
4. Interior Decorator / Working Woman / Beauty Queen
5. Soap / Falcon / Vineyard
6. Medical Drama / Chicago Illinois / Doctor
7. Hidden Civilization / Muppets / Singing
8. Contest/ Beach / Reality
9. Fashion / Fashion Designer / Contest
10. Brother / Female Doctor / Framed For Murder

Any guesses? Huh, huh, huh?

Oh, and I'm gonna tag my pals Reagan & Jenn. Why? Because I can. Their blogs aren't at all adoption related, but they are frequently entertaining and worth a quick peek.

business days? crap.

All hail Jessica, queen of the morons. Seems that I skipped over a key word in the 'ol estimated timeline. The info says we should expect to wait 45-60 BUSINESS DAYS from LID to provincial approval. Oh yeah, and there's Tet in the mix too. Awesome. I'm freakin' elated. This means that it is not unreasonable to think it could take until, oh, say, maybe May 20 until we have our PA. Great. Another effing month before we get any paperwork update. This is a happy day.

Bleh.


61 down and 19 more to go... maybe

It's been 61 days since we were logged in, and still no update. "Where is the paperwork?", I hear you cry! The answer is short. I have no clue. Is Beckett's dossier complete? No idea. Is our paperwork in Hanoi? Couldn't tell ya. When will we get an update? I wish I knew. Didn't they say to expect 45-60 days from LID to Provincial Approval? Yes, but it is now day 61. Didn't this part take 80 days for somebody recently? Yep, and if our schedule is the same then we have 19 days to go. Could it take more than 80 days? Heaven help me if it does.
