Joss Stone's Mind, Body, and Soul CD has a semi-permanent residence in my car's CD player. "Right to be Wrong" has been my personal anthem ever since I started this adoption process.


After Peanut left I started making the official "I'm going to adopt him" announcements. Really, I don't know why anyone was surprised by this. But, none-the-less, the reactions I got ran the whole gamut - from unwavering support to complete negativity. If I never hear "but you're single" again it will be too soon. Then I heard "Right to be Wrong" and the song's bridge just rang so true:

You're entitled to your opinion
But it's really my decision.
I can't turn back, I'm on a mission.
If you care, don't you dare blur my vision.
Let me be all that I can be.
Don't smother me with negativity.
Whatever's out there waiting for me
I'm gonna face it willingly!
