In other news, adoption stuff is really coming together. We need to get a couple things notarized on Monday, but otherwise the paperwork is D-O-N-E. I'm spreading the word at work, which has been a little bit bittersweet. Just like you'd expect, I've gotten lots of encouragement and support. Lot's of people wanting to set us up with people who've gone through it. But unexpectantly, one woman that pulled me aside and wanted to know how I could look to "save" a child from another country when people in our own country are throwing their children into rivers. Because I didn't expect that kind of criticism, I didn't respond how I wish I would of. Wouldn't it have been cool if I punched her? Or bit her on the arm? And then said something mean and nasty about her breath? My typical response to conflict is to shy away and let it fester. Not with this one. It's nice to just accept that some people say stupid things. End of story.
Hmmm. What else? Have I mentioned that I'm the advisor for the prom this year? It's coming up in three weeks and I'm absolutely s p r e a d thin. I've been waking up in the middle of the night wondering how to go about making punch for 500. My budget for the affair is shocking. $12,000. Way more than our wedding! Wowza!
Oh yeah, I just finished my quilting class at crafty planet. I took it with Rebecca, and it was so much fun. This was taken when I was tying it off, before I put the binding on. I hadn't done binding before and it's so easy.
Speaking of crafy, here are a couple of presents that Zander and I whipped together. Isn't it kind of amazing and funny to think of him cross stitching?
By the way, this post will be labeled that it's posted by Zander. It's not. I just forgot that he was signed in and now it's time for dinner and I don't feel like fixing it. Have a great weekend!

You have a friend without a blog? How sad.
Oh my goodness! Is that Juno in the backround? That's really a prop cat, isn't it? Yeah.
Yea, you say you wrote it, but I'm thinking Zander wrote this, and *he's* actually the prom planner/chaperone dude.
On a different note, I'd love to read a post about how you decided to do an international versus domestic adoption (hey, articulating it would get you ready to take on those who question you, right?).
That quilt is great! Nice work, Jules.
Mrs. Cannon, just a former student dropping by to say hey. You should know who this is, his name has to deal with sprints.
I love your cross stitch! You should post these in the Subversive group at Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/groups/scs/
