Thank you
I am so inspired by the amount of readers finding their way here. It's weird. I don't know really how to feel about it other than to say thanks. I started this for fun and as a way to connect with other moms. Now I'm moving and this will (hopefully) transform into a wild travel guide for Chongqing, China.
Thank you for reading now, and I hope you continue to find your way here in the future.
By the way, no update on the whole blogging in China thing. I'll let you know when I get there.

New blog update
The three most popular blogging sites are blocked in China: Blogger, Wordpress, and Livejournal. What do I do?
I'm tempted to just create my own website, but don't know how. Is it hard? I feel a bit dumb asking this. I mean, I have a blog, right? But I don't do anything special here. I can't even figure out how to do that cool strike-through thing 'cause it's not on my toolbar. And I still don't understand how putting an html thingy in a box creates this cool picture thing with a link on my page. Magic, I think.
What I think will end up happening is the creation of a blog once I get to China, chat up some people, and figure out my options. It will be interesting letting everyone here know since I'll have to email the info to a friend and have them post for me.
Well, you're stuck with me here for the next 6 weeks (!). This blog should be renamed "Mad.Mover" for that time. I imagine what you will see regards our upheaval, as Tate put it, from Portland and transition across the globe. We have multiple To Do lists going of all the stuff needed done when faced with two years out of the US. It's remarkably complicated.
Things to expect:
1. Pictures of all the crap I...am getting rid of. Everything in our house has a label: take; store; get rid of. Guess how most of it's labeled? Every day I look around and find something else I would pack to Florida but disappears when moving to China. I am kind of sickened by the amount of stuff we have that we really have no use for. Our apartment is filled with junk. Really beautiful junk you should come relieve us of! No really, there is good stuff, just not good enough to pay the $200/50 lbs. to ship.
2. Whining about all the stuff that needs to get done.
3. Exhuberance about the adventure we're taking. Ahhh! CHINA! No, not used to it yet.
4. Adorable pictures of the girls. Mostly because they really are adorable, and that's not just the mom in me talking. Others have told me. (hee hee)
5. Bragging about how awesome I am for getting a job in CHINA because we get to live in CHINA.
Now I really should work on finishing my master's. I am paying dearly for it.
Adorable pictures soon.

Potty update
Harper has been amazing with potty training. Until this week, she has had few accidents, and the ones she has are usually due to a refusal to stop playing to go potty. As Tate reflected, it's like when we have to pee during a good conversation: if you leave, the flow is disrupted and can't be restored. Indeed.
Any-who, in light of the awesomeness Harper has been, Tate and her went to get big-kid underwear today (none of the extra padding in the crotch area). Upon her return, a proud Harper walks in with her bag of big-kid underwear ready to show off:
Me: Are these boxer briefs?
Tate: Those are more for me.
