Shopping..........straight to the clearance rack - that is what I have been doing this weekend! The sales are fantastic - I went to Gap kids and bought Andrew lots of new clothes. How could I resist.....they had shirts for $3.00, leather boots marked down to $5.00. It was lots of fun, I only hope I got his size correct! I also started to gather gifts for all our "helpers" in Russia.
O.k., as you might have guessed, we have still not heard from our agency about our court date. They are closed on Fridays, and don't open on Monday until 10:00 am (I wish I had those hours!) so I will have to wait til then to make my phone call. I have found that if I don't call them they do not rush to call me so when I call my usual line is "just checking to see if you have heard anything" or I ask a phony question about expiration dates on our paperwork to get the ball rolling. During our last conversation she led me to believe that we were close to getting our "invitation to travel" - to travel to Russia you need a Visa - however, in order to get a Visa, you need an invitation from someone in Russia. I think our invite comes from the Ministry of Education. Anyway, she hinted that we should be receiving ours soon.
O.k., I'm off to the couch to watch "The devil wears Prada" - I hope its good.
