Mini updates...

1. Adoption: There was one infant girl referral last week, which now puts us at #2, or #5, or #3, or #4 on the referral list, depending on how you look at it.

2. HGTV: Even though we were told we were going to hear back by last weekend, we still have not heard if we are officially picked, but here is how a very strange phone call went yesterday from one of the producers:

Producer: "Hi (used my name)! Since your husband (used his name) is a property manager, we were hoping he could refer some good plumbers and electricians to use since we like to support local businesses."

Me: "Ummm... he is not a property manager, he's a teacher."

Producer: "Are you sure?

Me: "Yeah, pretty confident with that one."

Producer:
"Oh, I guess I got some incorrect information."

Me:
"You know, we have not been told if we have been picked yet...."

(Long silent pause that really spoke volumes of "Oh, shit")

Producer: "Well, I am not the one that tells you this, so I will tell that person to call you right away. Bye!"

**click**

So, where does that leave us? He knew our names, so either we are picked and he just messed up on Husband's career and they are in planning mode - though failed to tell us, OR they meant to call the contending household, whose husband is the property manager, but got the names messed up on the call list. Regardless, there was not the call right back, so we continue to sit on the edge of our seats!

I would be a train wreck if I had these two competing phone calls to wait for. Both are really exciting and intense! I hope your phone rings for both reasons very very soon.

*Glad to know that one of the referrals was a girl. I was wondering about that. You're getting really close on that list. WHOA! :)
