the nursery line

2:22 PM Posted by nick mucci 2 comments

so we met with our adoption worker yesterday...she's awesome. elizabeth, thats her name in case you were wondering, came and hung out at our house to check that our smoke alarms were working, that we had a fire extinguisher (we actually have 4; we've been told our house was once a drug house), and things were relatively clean...she told us not to go crazy cleanin...

...so we went crazy cleaning! cleaned out the garage and had to really get the child's future room ready. So we were cleaning out my office, which is the child's future room, and while doing so, i said to Mandy, "Sweets (cute huh), we are probably going to need to get the Steelers box out of the attic." First, yeah, i have a Steelers box for all my Steeler stuff, so what. Second, what followed after that statement can only be called a small miracle, Mandy said,

"why? we could have a Steelers nursery, ya know?" and the bells rang, angels sang, and my Aunt Judy got her wings (you know she had something to do with that)

after i awoke from the shock-induced coma, i stared at her in disbelief. now whether or not that actually happens, i'm giving it 100:1 odds, what a blessed man i am that my WIFE would put that idea on the table as an option! how did i get so lucky?! i cannot wait to be called dad to her mom.

and by that i mean, called dad just as she is called mom, as complements...not called the dad of her mom...cause that would just be weird...

2 weeks til kick-off!!

You mean "Two weeks until the Steelers are put back in their place by a team with a ealthy and legitimately GOOD quarterback."

I couldn't resist.

I had a similar experience not too long ago. Joy and I were driving around Quincy somewhere and I noticed a Harley Sportster. I said to Joy, "you couldn't see me riding around on one of those?" She said "Sure, we can talk about it!" I almost drove off the road. I will point out, however, that I still don't have a motorcycle. There's a better chance of you getting your Steelers nursery. Just don't put it up until after everything is final. Some might consider it abuse! ;-)
