Scott and I are still good friends, we're just accepting that this wasn't meant to be. I'm now looking forward to the next chapter in my life in a new state. I've booked a trip to Charlotte from 24-30 Aug and I'm already getting excited about looking for a new home for myself.

Oh Gillian *hugs* I already posted in the UK forum and I am so sorry to hear it hasn't worked out for you But it's great that you are still friends and it is great that you are going on exciting adventures!

@ aly: here's the link https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=of...office_type=CIV

you HAVE to use their civil surgeons. *shrugs* just another loop we have to jump through.

btw: i just read your blog, i can TOTALLY relate: it's monsoon season and we have a leak in the roof, the AC dies at least every second day and our landlord is too broke and stupid to have it fixed properly. oh, and i just saw the credit card bill and nearly passed out.

i hope everybody has a nice sunday evening!

HAHAHA - Oh Jeremy has a billion credit cards and they are all maxed out totalling about $2000 so I can relate to that as well!!! What with that and everything falling to pieces right now it is so not fun - I can't wait 'til Saturday - we can just have a good old b*tch about everything that is screwing up and maybe with enough wine inside us we will actually get to laughing about it all!!! We can compare horror stories!!

Will check out that USCIS thing now - didn't realise we had to use a specific doctor... that really sucks

I think I probably sound a lot stronger than I really am though! I'm having good days and bad days right now and I seem to be up and down and all over the place. I'm coming to terms with the fact that my marriage is over but I'm getting overwhelmed sometimes with feelings of loneliness.

But then a few minutes later I'll feel really strong and as though I can take on the world.

I'm sure these feelings are all just part of the grieving process that I'll have to go through. I'm so glad that I have friends here on VJ because I haven't really made any where I live since I got here and the loneliness does make things harder.

It's normal to feel lonely, especially when you haven't made any real friends yet. But you do have all of us and I can prolly vouch for pretty much everyone on here by saying we are all at the end of a... computer If you ever need a sounding board, just shout

Thanks Aly, it means a lot to know that there are people out there willing to lend an ear.

YAY! Marta is coming to our housewarming luau!!! Woohoo!!!

We have tacky party bags from the dollar store

[*julez* 124]

That's cool! I wish I lived near enough to attend! I'll just ahve to settle with being there in spirit!

I posted this in the UK OT thread, but want to share with those of you who don't frequent that thread that we are moving into our new house this Saturday! I am so excited! Our new furniture is being delivered friday and we're doing the rest ourselves on Saturday! With the help of a few burly guys we know, of course!

After Friday, I'll be MIA for a bit. Try not to miss me too much.

[Jeraly 4]

Oooh! That's great news Julez!!! But leaving us again so soon...? You only just got back!

[*julez* 124]

Just for a few days, I'm not using any holiday time for the move, so providing no major disasters, I'll be back to work Monday and back with the gang! Well, what's left of our gang anyway.

[Jeraly 4]

Awww

I just found out that I am going to have more people at the luau!! I am sooo excited now!!

I want to go to the party

[English Muffin 59]

I want to go to the party

So do I.

Unfortunately it's on the day that I fly back from Charlotte, otherwise I would have given serious thought to going to it.

[Jeraly 4]

Hehe - that would have been awesome!! You can't change your flight?

StP - if you can make it I can e-mail you an invite too - I just figured that Texas was a bit of a jaunt...

:dance: :dance:

[English Muffin 59]

Hehe - that would have been awesome!! You can't change your flight?

Afraid not. I booked one of those hotel/flight/hire car packages through Expedia and paid upfront and in order to get a good deal it's non-changable and non-refundable. Perhaps you'll have another party soon that I can come to??

[*julez* 124]

Make that 3 of us.

But I can't afford to fly to Cali.

[StillThePrettiest 3]

no spare cash at present, unfortunately

thanks to the US gummint

Well... maybe we can have some pre-Thanksgiving thing as well? We can try and come up with some theme-

Scratch that - how about a Hallowe'en fancy dress party?! They will have TONS of stuff in the dollar store for that!! AND it gives us an excuse not to buy furniture we can't afford so we can fit people in our tiny place!! Oh that would be too cool

October 31st is a Friday or we can do it on the 1st November which is a Saturday (duh). Palm Springs is meant to be gorgeous in November as well - that is when the tourist season picks up a bit more here so if anyone fancies a mini-trip, there is a weekly street fair on Thursdays - at that time of year it will start at 6pm I can also recommend Angelina's, a lovely Italian place and Cafe 285 for outside dining/bar/live music in view of the street fair

*gets excited about party #2 as well*
