Only 13 more to go!

I counted up my squishes the other night and I now have 87! Only 13 more to go to get to 100!

It is my plan to start working on piecing the quilt after my fall class ends in the middle of October. If you still have a squish to send, please get it in soon! I have so many beautiful squishes and the quilt is going to be just stunning.

Things are going well for us. I'm taking economics this fall, and it is very cool to finally understand these concepts. I am surprised how many economic concepts are coming out in the political ads and conversations. I was so stoked that I understood the phrase used at the RNC: "China is like Adam Smith on steriods."

Our next big house project is the lawn. B ordered a whole bag of super seed, so hopefully we'll have a lush green lawn soon!

China is still crawling along. They have referred through February 9, 2006, so that puts us about 14 months behind the front of the line. I still have my fingers crossed that we'll see a significant speed up by the end of 2008 or beginning of 2009. There are reports that March 2007 is in the review room, but our agency still reports that their February 2007 folks are still in review. I will be so glad to have this milestone behind us! Not that I am worried about being rejected, but it will be nice to know that we are in for sure.

I hope all is well in your neck of the woods!
