Penny on Stork Duty
Me and my mother-in- law are on Stork watch today impatiently patiently waiting on the Fed Ex to deliver our package. We've already seen the contents as they were e-mailed to us yesterday afternoon. What a wonderfully "lucky" St. Patrick's Day we had! We received a call from Great Wall that was followed by an e-mail containing pictures and medical records. We cried, of course, seeing that beautiful little face. We hurried off to our local Chinese restaurant to get some assistance from the owner regarding the translation of her name. The meaning is still not terribly clear but basically it means "togetherness" and "beautiful". Then we went to Larry's sisters' to print the pics but were totally sidetracked with joy and tears and a little on-line window shopping. So it was late and the grandparents had no info yet and no pics (sorry) because the printer ink was low and we had to choose between sleep or getting the pics printed. Yeah, I know, we should've printed the pics but we were functioning on a dangerously low amount of sleep. So the pics will be printed today.
As we wait for the Stork we've had a few false alarms, our garbage service, a utility truck, a low-boy hauling a grader, and a truck hauling propane. As it would happen, I checked the fed ex tracking service and the package was put on the truck at 8:14 this morning, only 45 minutes from my house and delivery was set for 10:30. But now its 12:10 and no truck, no Stork, and no package.
