Sunshine and Rubber Duckies Friday, November 9, 2007 "Grandma" Drops Off Dossier Today Chloe and I got the car inspected, drove by our adoption agency to drop off our completed dossier (which Ive had in a file drawer for a couple of weeks), and we met Daddy for lunch.

I was excited to drop off the dossier, but Ill be even more excited to be able to send it on its way to China.

Id say Im annoyed, but I think Im amused, too. Maybe both, if thats possible. I also think either that man was insane, or I am living in a state of severe denial. Heres what happened: This old man was at the auto shop where I was having my car inspection done. He was walking in as I was paying for my inspection, and Chloe immediately responded to his presence by putting her head on my shoulder. He smiled and said, "Grandmas girl." I looked around to see what old lady he was referring to, but there was no one there but me. HELLO! I am 38 years old. I have pictures of me on this site...is there ANY w...
