Almost Friday... but still Thursday

[MHandMB 0]

I can't wait till Friday! This week has been a pain. My co-worker is now on maternity leave, so everything is falling on my shoulders. I am working for three attorneys, and handling all of the bills and office management stuff. The new girl has been late almost every day, so I end up having to grab the phones for her, too. Plus, Amed doesn't have his license and he keeps getting off of work early (even though the schedule for the week has him leaving at 5:30 every day), so I have to go pick him up, take him home (a 20 minute drive), and come back to work(another 20 minutes).

It's not his fault, and I know it's a pain for him, too, but it's getting to be really inconvenient, especially since I need to be here. We're hoping his greencard will come in the mail next week so we can go get his license then. I know he wants the independence, and it'll probably make him feel a lot better. Then, we'll have to see about getting another vehicle.

Any good news to share today? Any interviews scheduled or visas approved? I hope we get some approvals coming soon!

Hope everyone has a good day.

Hicham and I went to a Ben Harpet concert last night and it was so fun! He loved it! We got home pretty late so we slept until noon oops. Now we're going to run some errands together before he goes to work!

Have a great day!

Just got back from my eye appointment. Weee, new glasses after 3 years without insurance

Howeva, I can't see worth beans because of the drops they put in my eyes. Hmm, that's going to work really well, since I the computer screen is fuzzy and I can't see the papers I'm suppose to be shuffling.

The new glasses are really sweet though. they're purple and orange, and most of my wardrobe includes pieces that are purple/pink or orange, so I think they'll look really cute. They went really well with my favorite orange scarf that I'm wearing today. Huzzah!

I love new glasses! and those sound super cute! mabruk!!

Well I'm having a lovely morning

I spent the first 1.5 hrs of my waking time today bitchin' a fit to my husband about USCIS, NVC, the visa process in general, the US gov't, etc. Why? Because it seems everyone and their brother is getting approved for their K3 except us Ppl who sent in their I129Fs the same friggin time as me regarding the same friggin country and I'm still waiting!! What happens when you call USCIS to ask ####### is going on? They act like they're reading off a teleprompter and say...well if it hasn't been 180 days yet nothing we can do for you...it's within normal processing times call back when the 180 days are up..yeah whateverrrrr biaaatch I'll call you whenever the mood strikes me..deal with it!!! I hope you have a nice evening when you go home to your husband..mine's stuck in Egypt! There's no rhyme or reason to this damn visa process and it's making me CRAZY!!!!!! Then I call to bitchh about it to my husband last night and his phone is off!!! So I immediately head to the nearest party store to buy a pack of smokes even though I'm trying to quit I should call USCIS and tell them they owe me a carton of cigarettes for my troubles! ARRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Hope everyone's having a lovely, rip roarin' Thursday! .......

If it makes you feel any better, I'm on day 189..

awwwwwwwwww thanks! I love to dance - it's my passion.... it's my sanity.... it's my sanctuary, my "zone". I've been dancing ME for about 9 yrs, teaching & performing for abt 5 or 6. As a kid, I did the usual ballet & tap & gymnastics...

It's how Said & I met - I was dancing in the restaurant & he came to have dinner. He came back a year & half later to meet me again! 'Twas our destiny......
