Staceys friend crush.. Lone Dröscher-Nielsen

Soooo... Stacey's birthday is coming up next month and I decided to get her an Orangutan. And by that I mean.. ADOPTION! Although she would really rather have a real one!! I have located the website for Orangutan Adoptions. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to be able to get onto their link to fill out the adoptions papers. I want to go through savetheorangutan.org because that is a foundation that is headed by Lone, Stacey's FRIEND crush (its the cutest thing ever)...
This woman has a very interesting background in that she was a flight attendant before she started saving Orangutans. She actually has no formal training at all. She also has a documentary based on her life on the Animal Planet called Orangutan Island. Stacey looooovvvves her. I think it's because she has all the monkeys...Or in this case Orangutans.  So I will keep you updated in my quest to adopt an orangutan. If you ever want a gift idea for Stacey... anything monkey. And she ESPECIALLY LOVES Orangutan Island.
++ UPDATE++
I have found an Orangutan for Stacey's Birthday!! She is going to be sooo excited!

Paula in Disney.....

My Little girl is growin up on me :( 

I mean really.. It is the saddest thing ever. Soon, she will be driving and trying to ditch school. Ugh, when did this all happen? This growing up stuff sucks.

Anywho... I dropped Paula off at school at 10:30pm Friday..and she tried to push me out of the room. As if I was going to leave her there without finding out who her chaperon was. Silly kid.
Here is a picture of her and her little friend Sam.. Sam actually had to hit Paula upside the head because she wouldn't let me take a picture. Something is seriously wrong with that kid.. I was trying real hard not to make a scene. she is lucky I am not my grandmother...

It was a difficult 33 hours not having her home with me ( she was home by Sunday Morning at 7:30am)..I went to work, went and had lunch with Stacey. Got alone time and got the drocery shopping done. Yup.. real hard. I missed her though. She had such a great time just hanging out with her friends. And she got a big taste of freedom. It was good for her.. and for me too. I need to learn how to let go a little and be ok with it.
I was really worried about her for nothing.. she is a good kid. I just love her MUCH.
