Recently, I've learned that:

- If you think no one pays attention to you, try walking around outside in a wedding dress that's seen better days, patterned fishnet-esque tights, and pink open-toed heels. You will turn a lot of heads.
- It is extremely difficult to cover freckles with makeup.
- I am very pale. Paler than I ever knew. Paler than the lightest shade of Estee Lauder Maximum Coverage and the lightest shade of Revlon Colorstay.
- Modeling is FUN. Especially crazy, who-wears-this-crap, high fashion modeling. (See the first bullet point.)
- It is worrisome to loan one's baby camera to a friend, even a friend that one knows will take excellent care of it.
- One sees very interesting things while walking a 4-mile circuit near where one lives. Last night's walk found a pair of boxers, part of a toy gun, and some very confused signs. Also, I like that people walking the other way say hi to us even though we have never seen them before.
- There are a lot of countries that don't let people adopt unless they're at least 30 years old. Bah to them. We don't want to wait another 2 years before even beginning the process!
- CVS loves me. They sent me a $10 off $50 and a $5 off $30, thereby guaranteeing that I will have an amazing Black Friday there!
- I can deal with cold weather if I'm doing something I love.
- I'm edgy-looking. *snort*
- I can go at least one day without drinking pop/soda, but it's sad.
- My husband is amazing. This I already knew, but I keep noticing it more and more.

I am! Except with the whole having to be 30 to adopt from stupid countries. Grr.

I have one picture already, which will be my pic o' the day from that day, and I will be getting a whole CD of the pics from that day (including the ones in normal clothes) in the mail sometime next week. Then I'll post my favorites in a Facebook album, which I will certainly link to on here. =o)

Yeah, I meant to comment on that. I think it's stupid. Any person can have a baby whenever, but you'd think with all the extensive background checks and what-have-you, they'd let you adopt at least by 25.

SERIOUSLY. And also? It should not be so freaking expensive. I almost think the child's country's government should pay people to take the kids, because if people didn't adopt them, they'd be paying to feed them, albeit poorly, for several years. *frowns* But yes, you'd think that being 25 and having been married for nearly 5 years, they'd hand the kids right over to us. *sigh* I think we will wait to apply till January because then we will have been married actually 5 years so that will look really good to agencies.

Yeah, I've never understood why you have to pay to get a child. There are SO many children that need homes you'd think the agencies would do everything in their power to get homes for the children. So you're going to actually start the process this coming year?

Yep!
