14 more sleeps!!!

Its hard to believe that its been a few weeks since I posted to my blogs. Life is a little crazy right now as I'm getting ready to travel. I have been busy buying stuff for the trip, washing Channing's clothes, packing, cleaning house, coordinating stuff for when I'm gone and doing yard work here and at the lake.
So far I'm hanging in there pretty darn good. I'm slowly getting excited, I just find it hard to believe that I'M GOING TO CHINA and finally will have CHANNING IN MY ARMS in just DAYS!!! This friday is my last day at work before I start my parental leave....ahh what a feeling to have some time off. I think thats when I will start crapping my pants. And my agency said that this week I will be getting all my travel documents such as Chinese visa's, passport, plane tickets and other stuff in the mail.
The only panic I have right now is that I cannot seem to post any pictures to my blog from my MAC laptop. So there may be some problems!!! I do have a back-up plan which the wonderful Catherine will help me out from Canada, but I better start practicing emailing pictures to her. This isnt fun and I dont recommend switching computers or buying a MAC right before you travel. So if any MAC users are out there can you email me some help????? PLEASE!!!!
Last week I noticed that I leave Canada for China on August 9th.....well August 9th is my 1 year LID.....that is so cool!!!
Well thats it for now.....hopefully I can do another update with pictures in the next day or so!!!
Note to my Secret Pal......Janet!!! Thank you so much for the wonderful gift for Channing this week. I love that you were a rebel and switched the theme....the beach theme is perfect and I loved everything. I cant post pictures, but as soon as I can I will do the last 2 months. I had a feeling my SP was you....LOL!!! You spoiled Channing all year and we will treasure everything!! I cannot wait to see her play with everything, some will be coming to China!!!! HUGS!!!!

I too was wanting Catherine to be my "back-up" help when I'm in China...but then I remembered that she'll be eaither JUST home with Hannah when we go...or ever there at the SAME time as us!! lol

You'll do fine I'm sure blogging!! I'll get my friend Keith to check out your blog again. Maybe he can help you again!!

Blessings!

What websurfer are you using to log-in to your blogger account? Safari? I sometimes have issues with Safari and images on my Mac. But if your pics are jpegs and you are in blogger, then it should work. E-mail if you want to chat more about it- we can do a Mac intervention!

Hey Chickie, I don't know why but it hit me when I saw your counter that says, 13 days till you hold Channing. WOW, I would be in panic mode LOL. As Janet put it so well, I will be "blog stalking" you while you are in China.
