Clicky Clicky --- >>  Thai Us Together

Through an odd situation the link below isn't going to be updated anylonger, sorry.

I am attempting to build a new adoption blog and will post the link as soon as i have it ready.

For those of you who are curious i'll past the update i sent to my thai adoption group.

>>

I saw the Thai Social worker on Tuesday, it was a fairly quick meeting.  Thank goodness her English was decent, because my Thai is extremely limited.  She gave us a handful of paperwork and briefly went over it with us.  She explained that as diplomats a few steps will be simplified for us because in the case of documents assuring that the child will be able to enter the use/gain a visa etc  are easily obtainable for us through the embassy, but other than that it is pretty standard.  We have to gather all of the documents together as quickly as we can and return them to the case worker.  She said (I hope I understood correctly) at that point she would make a call to arrange for our home study.

They only requested two references from us and we have been debating over this.  We only know one person in Thailand who has known us for more than a year, so we will ask him to be one of our references, and the other will have to be friends from the States.

They only requested 4 photographs; does anyone know if it is frowned upon to include more?  I had kind of planned to make up a little scrap book.

And lastly.. the one thing that was said that I had dreaded.  Just before we left the social worker asked me how much I weigh, of course I only know my weight in pounds and she didn’t give me time to try and convert the numbers in my head.  She said I was very heavy and that I should lose weight.  : (

I have worried about this for some time, but had lulled myself into thinking it wouldn’t be an issue. I’ve been reading Thailand adoption blogs for a while now and have seen families adopt who were my weight and even larger so I thought it wouldn’t be a concern.  I am between 55-65 lbs overweight and have been this weight for about 14 years.   Losing weight isn’t something I’m good at, but I’m determined to not let it jeopardize our chances of becoming parents.  I’ll starve if I have to!

Sorry that i have left you all hanging for so long, I never said i was a 'good' blogger ....  I've started a new site and will be keeping it updated periodically as we go forth with adoption.

I'm still here and still alive. I"m working and we haven't made any real progress toward anything.

By Me, 2-07

Nothing at all going on, no infertility treatments, no job starting yet, no nothing.

I'll post if i can think of anything interesting to say.

Breast, Boobs, Boobies, Chest, Bust, Tata, Pleasure Pillows, Melons, Peaches, Hooters, Tits, Titties, Fun Bags, Jugs, Gazongas, Mountains, The Girls, MilkyWay, Hand Full, Flippy Flops, Pancakes, Everest, Twins, Silicones, Mamaries, Rack, Rockets, Squeeze Bags and Boulders. 

(NOTE: if you are easily offended, I’ve probably already offended you. Read no further)

Sooo.. I’ve always thought that my breast were my best feature. I mean I had great tits!  All the world bowed down to my DDD lovelies.  Well anyway… I thought I had a pretty nice rack and I know a couple of other people who would agree. 

Large breast are never ‘perky’ breast, its just physics, but they were large and full and I was never shy about showing an ass load a bit of cleavage.  In my 20s I was a fertility goddess (remember back then I was trying NOT to get knocked up) with lovely curves. So what if my face was average and I was a little on the chubby side, I could distract everyone with my BOOBS right?  The ploy seemed to work.

Until…

The 30s have not been so kind to my Goddess figure.

Where this is a photo of my lovelies just a few years ago…

 I’m sad to say that THIS what they look more like today.

Ok ok.. I confess that second photo isn’t really me, its Mrs. Choksondik from S@uth P@ark, but I’m starting to feel like I can really relate to her!

The most horrible thing has started to happen in my 30s… every time I gain weight, I now gain it in my stomach area… and every time I lose that weight I swear it comes OUT OF my breast! 

My girls now fit into a DD instead of the former DDD and without the help of a Fredericks bra they hang perilously low.   What… oh for the love of God… What is a girl to do?

Well this girl started surfing breast lift websites. I Know, your thinking what?  She’s thinking about going under the knife for something as frivolous as perkier breasts?

Well.. I’m looking into it anyway.

So my research really only served to scare the shit out of me. Maybe you think I think a little to much about breast?  Well..maybe but I think breast are beautiful and I have this picture in my head of the ‘Ideal’.  An ideal that may not be to your taste but well.. It doesnt' really matter because lifts are not like augmentations, they rarely turn out as nice. I’d go for it in a heart beat if I could be assured to look at least this good (or better)when I finished.

   OR this

But I’m really terrified I’ll end up with something like this!  “shiver”

I'm not sure i'd be able to deal with that!

And of course you are probably wondering about breastfeeding, would I be spoiling my chances. 

 I’m beginning to realize that I may not ever have that opportunity and I get so tired sometimes of keeping my life on hold for such a slim chance.

Who knows… these are just my rambling thoughts.

It’s been about 13 years since I took my oil painting classes in college and I hadn’t picked up an oil paint again until a couple of weeks ago.  I thought, no problem.   Yeah right.

The last few years I have devoted my artistic talents to photography and water color painting, both vastly different than oil painting.  I thought it might amuse everyone to see my floundering attempts to figure this stuff out again, so here goes.

This was my inspiration, a colored pencil drawing I did several years ago.

I didn’t think to take a photo of step 1, so we will start with step 2, blocking in some colors.  Not horrible.

Step 3 I’m trying to start adding some low lights and my facial features, ugh.

I’ve now realized that my face is to small and I’m not sure if I can enlarge it or not. Maybe it will work, I’m not sure.  I have no desire for realism, but I had hoped to convey the same ‘feeling’ as the sketch which I liked.

I know i still have a lot of improvment/work to do.  wish me luck

Since I was a teen I have been doing everything imaginable to my hair.

I've been blonde, redhead, brunette, and black. I've had blonde, pink, purple and blue streaks. I've worn it long and short and everything in-between.

Now I have something new…..

I haven't colored my hair in about three months and OMG I had no idea I had so much sparkle to my personality.   I have a good two inches of growth that is my natural color, I had closely matched my last color and so I don't have roots per say.. except that I have SO MANY silver hairs now that I have 2 inches of sparkling roots. 

Damn I'm getting old!

I tried to take a photo but it just wouldn't show up properly in a photo… oh well, you'll just have to take my word for it.

What is weird about it all is… I haven't yet covered it up.  I'm not sure what has gotten into me, but I kinda wana let this silver grow out, see just what I have going on up there.  We'll see how long I can last before I color it again.

And just for the heck of it here are a few of my hair styles/colors over the years.
