So. I've finally, completely and 100% have settled on adopting from India. Do you know how scary that was, coming to that decision? It's so...adult, so life changing. I mean, I'm not going to do it NOW, but still. Wow. I feel so grown up right now. I just hope that financially I can find a way to do this. It's something I've wanted to do for about 3 years now. But after I saw Slumdog Millionaire, my mind was completely made up.I want to give a child a chance. To make this even more official, I even told my parents my intentions. Once they know, it's pretty much a done deal. Scary.

My dog is snoring in my doorway. He is the cutest thing in the world, trufax. He thinks he's protecting me from the EVAL HALLWAY MONSTARS OF DOOM. But he's deaf as a post, so he's not much good. I still love him for trying. He's got his little sweater on and it's too cute. My dog has a wardrobe. NOT because I am one of those ridiculous people who thinks dressing up dogs is a great idea, but because he's 16, he has arthritis in his back, his hair is so thin he might as well be bald, he only weighs 4 pounds, and he gets COLD in this weather. So, yeah, he has a collection of warm fleecy things to keep him comfortable. He's my baby.

And it sucks that we had to get back into real time instead of holiday time. Bleck. Holiday time was so much more lax.
