Munchkin is in Disney World with her family. I don’t know if they’re coming back today or tomorrow. Sometime in the near future. To say that I’m going through withdrawl from my talks with D would be somewhat on line. I have Very Important Things to discuss like, what to get JD for his Birthday, what size Munchkin is now and less important things like America’s Next Top Model. It feels weird to have your chatting companion suddenly gone.

It’s not even that I’m worried about Munchkin. I’m sure she’s having the time of her life. To say that I don’t feel a twinge of jealousy that I’m not the one who took her to Disney World or that in feeling that twinge of jealousy, I’m admitting my insecurity. (Fun.) No, I’m talking more about the fact that my friend, D, is gone and I miss talking to her. And that’s sad.

Things are fine on the home front. I’m now officially at home; the training for my one job is complete and I’ll only have to stop in the office for occasional meetings. So far, we’ve done fun things like go to a pumpkin festival (during which time I thought about Claud). I’m even tossing the idea back and forth of auditioning for The Christmas Carol at our local performing arts center. Of course, if the performance dates coincide with the trip we have planned to visit Munchkin for her birthday, that throws that plan right out the window! My children come first! (Though I’m dying to get back on a stage.)

The blog at adoptionblogs is going well. I’ve subscribed to a bunch of news updates from google/yahoo/etc regarding specific words (birth mother, birthmother, adoption, adoptee, open adoption; etc). I’ve also ordered some books on which I plan on reviewing in whole or mentioning in part. I also need to search through the book box in the basement and find some of my “books to have on hand when talking about adoption.” (i.e., James L Gritter, etc)

I’m rambling. I just miss D. And Munchkin. And even that old J guy. ;)
