It seems that getting out of the review room has been just what I needed to re-light that extinguished fire under my you know what. I told myself months ago that until CCAA got to December 05 referrals, I was not going to get too excited. Rubbish. I've got some bottled up excitement and getting out of the review room has let it out. I know the next couple of months for referrals may not cover as much ground as this last one and we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
Also for the first time in months I got up the nerve to input our LID of 3/14 into one of the referral calculators out there (can't find the link at the moment.) It isn't an exact science but does calculate predictions on past data. It gave us a date of 11/22/07!!!! I am not putting a whole lot of stock in that date but I would be lying if I said I didn't like what it said. (If you had told me a year ago that November 07 was a best case scenario, I would have wanted to smacked you.)
When I told Jon about the 11/22/07 prediction his response was "Well babe, I guess the rabbit finally died". Yes I know it is just a figure of speech. But dang it, in the last few years I have pee'ed on enough sticks and obsessed over enough adoption message boards and blogs to consider sacrificing a rabbit if it came to that.

Glad you found some excitement. And, yes, I hope that bunny is legs up now.
LOL... rabbit died!!! I think most people are thinking Oct 07. I'm breaking away from the pack with a August-Oct 07 predicition. I hope CCAA employ more people...
Karen, I can't say that I'm sad to see that rabbit go! We're so excited for you two!!!
I think we are all so excited about getting out of the RR because it is the first time in LOOOOONGGGGG time that any of us actually know something.
I'll take Nov. '07 - happily so
It's nice to get excited again, isn't it? I'm finally starting to let myself get swept back up in the adoption craze. I'm glad your bunny is dead, although I never thought I'd be saying that!! HA HA HA
I'm happy you were able to have that fire lit again! May November rush upon you carrying the most precious package of all!
