I also use the non-existent spoon reference regularly too - with my students. It never fails to get a laugh!

A 600 mile round trip to the Sizzler! Mox leads the cushy life, that's for certain!

Focus on the 'spoon' reference......

Oh I got the spoon reference...I thought you meant the "thinking outside the box" thing. Sounded like something from Office Space.

Yeah. Hey listen Aly, I might be running a bit late. Go ahead and start without me.

*didn't read Kevin's post properly and realised that when she did she actually *got* the reference *

Yeah - we'll save you a seat Keerk

Audrey - time difference isn't too bad right now - was up for about 28 hours or so when I was travelling so went to bed about midnight PST which is like 8am back home... Woke at about 5am PST and have been awake since then (so has Jeremy *and* he has work, poor guy!) and have just started feeling a little tired. Not sleepy mind, just that kinda exhaustion where your body knows something isn't quite right and wants to go to bed but your mind feels (reasonably!) awake!!!

Quite weird to think that it is after midnight at home now... means my kitty has been taken to her holiday home already... she is going to hate me... I am just glad it wasn't me taking her there and picking her up!!! I do miss her already At least she will be moving with me!! And I know the cattery is a nice place cause we went and checked it out... cost me over $200 so it should be nice

Yeah - we'll save you a seat Keerk

Make sure you roll that R, Missy!

Sorry Keerrrk!! Will you not come out to play if I can't perfect my accent?! How quick did you say you could drive 300 miles?! I might have time to practice... Then again, depending on how fast you drive I might not How busy *is* the I-5 at this time of day anyway?!

I have no idea, actually. I've only ever been down near your neck of the woods once in my adult life (spent some time as a little kiddee in San Diego) so I'm not sure how busy it gets. Tell ya what, let's meet in Fresno. That's about 1/2 way, only about 2 1/2 hours.

Congratulations Tucson Chick. The start of your new life - how exciting! Was the house move a surprise?

[KGSodie 0]

TucsonChick, FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! I'll bet your groom was worried about the house surprise though. Those sort of surprises can go either way, but it's very cool to hear that you love it! Can't wait to read the POE report too! HURRAY!!!!!!!!

jetlag here i come. sunday morning 6am and i can't sleep.

anyway, here is my POE-short-report.

the flight frankfurt-jfk: drunken russian man sitting next to me, getting more drunk and trying to touch me. flight attendents moved me to another seat.

arrival in jfk: really fast immigration people there. only had to wait for about 20 minutes. the officer at the regular booth opened the envilope, stapeled everything, but a few stamps on things and sent me to the crappiest, darkest and dirtiest office there is. the chick there gave me $hit that i don't have an engagement ring, and that eric holding a doctorate degree would mean that i would at least have to get 1.5carat or more. whatever. she was new in the office and didn't know about the EAD-stamp, but her collegues (at this time discussion wheather they got they diarrhea at the restaurant or the bar they went to). told her about it and the stamp looks like a bad fake attempt of some illegal person trying to get employment.

it took me about 10minutes to clear immigration. total.

luggage carts cost $3 at JFK, i was too savy for that, and the security people felt sorry for me and my 4 bags and gave me one for free. changing terminals was ok (i had to recheck my luggage as i was continuing with a different airline and ticket) and i spent the rest of my layover drinking coffee and eating muffins.

and now i'm here

the house is gorgous! he asked me before he moved if i thought it was a good idea, but what can i tell from so far away? so i told him that i knew that he had great taste, because he was with me

i will only need a bit more storage in the closet und to rearrange a few things here and there, and to clean the windows (we amazing huge windows with a magnificent view over the mountains, but the windows haven't been cleaned in years...) in short: a female touch to the house

other than that settling in is a hard thing for me at the moment. i already lived here for more than a year, but i never felt that lost before. today we will go hiking, and sunshine and physical exercise usually help against girly-depressions.

half way through my wardrobe blitz...as in I've taken everything out and done a basic yes or no sort. Now as it all goes back in I need to be more ruthless and get rid of I reckon at laest half of my yes pile.

[mox 298]

and now i'm here

Congratulations and welcome to America!

Congrats!! Welcome to USA! Let us know how it all went when you've rested a bit!

I want to use this opportunity to vent, though....

My Aussie got this nice package from the embassy. Naturally, he was excited thinking it was packet 4. Nerp! It was addressed to him on the outside, but when he opened the envelope, it was a letter to someone else!!!

So, he called the embassy, and after the run around (please press 4 if you are ready to rip out your hair...), he found out they "misplaced" one of the forms he sent in. Soooo, he just resent the form via express mail, so hopefully we'll get that packet 4 soon. *sigh* Hurry up, people! Our 9 month old son isn't getting any younger...he needs his daddy (and so do I!!)....
