no sleep & foot spasms...

So I have to wonder if there is any correlation between being awake for over 24 hours and not being able to walk the full flea market. Thank goodness for Margie and her quick thinking. I was wearing my platform sandles (ok, not the brightest move knowing I'd be walking quite a bit) when I got spasms in both feet so bad I was crying in pain. Margie ran off and bought me a pair of those knock-off Crocs... ugly as the day is long, but I was IMMEDIATELY impressed with the fact that I could actually stand up again after I put them on! Now I know why everyone says that's what we should wear when we go to China! I may just have to break down and get a pair (if I can find something not QUITE as ugly).
In the meantime, I figured out that yet again, another adoption milestone will be happening on an important date in our lives. If we get our referral on Tuesday, which is looking like the most reasonable, then our referral date will be our dear friend Paulie's birthday!!! So... maybe we should start taking bets for "forever day"... Tommy's birthday on 8/23 ? Our anniversary on 9/5 ? can't wait to find out!
