Oatmeal Cake and Matching

Here's this month's cake and let me tell you...it's a good one!! I took it into the office for a potluck and got a handful of requests for the recipe. I think next time, I'd make it in a 13x9 pan, just because I'm more about the cake than the icing.

The most exciting news is that the current rumor is that matching for the next batch has begun and we usually start hearing about referral calls 2-3 days after that matching rumor comes out, so maybe Friday??? I think they'll match through 1-4-06, but we shall see. I've sent my request to get fingerprinted again (for the third time!) and have been picking up items here and there for the trip. A lot of things I just can't buy until I know how old Mary Alice will be.

Well, I better post this before I lose power, as there is a wicked storm going through right now and I always lose power!!
