About 90F in Orlando...far too early to be so hot!!! At least the humidity isn't at 100%...Darren would melt!!!

Been nice in Bristol too

As for puters - I am taking my hard drive with me - I've always been fine with it before so not sure if this will cause any problems?

[Robyn-n-Kris 72]

Nice and 70F or so here today in Austin. Chance for storms etc... Going to be curious to see how Kris does with the heat LOL.. Oh and he's bringing his HD as well Jeraly LOL

Phew. I've been in NC for the last few days and, apparently, I have much to catch up on.

My lovely had the visa interview today and it was a success...a big fat red approval stamp!

Congratulations!

I pulled my back Sunday - putting in a 60 lb AC. (I did think I used my knees, but no) The doc says I am having back spasms. So I sit here at work, heating pad behind me & on some relaxers that make me nauseous & yet not pain free.

How's your back, Dev? I did exactly the same thing a couple of months ago. It was excruciating. Don't know if you're into Chiropractors or not but that's what I did. I was repaired in no time.

I am suffering from terrible insomnia these days. I was up at 2:30 this morning and could not get back to sleep. At least that meant I could go to the gym for 2 hours before work.

I was having a terrible time with insomnia. Finally took some Melatonin and I've been sleeping like a baby ever since. *knocks on wood* I'm also going to be trying it for the first time when I fly to the UK in July. I'm terrible with jetlag, so I always have to book a flight at least 3 days before an event so I can appear human as opposed to catatonic.

We've got NOA2!!! *is sooooo happy*

Whoooo hooooo! Congrats!

Ugh.. 400 people?? and i thought my book signing was bad.. But you'll do fine. My thoughts will be with you when it comes about.

Okay, now you've got my interest. Is it okay to ask what book you wrote?

Morning all

Just thought i'd pop in and say that I got here safely. My POE was completely painless, all over within about 5 minutes!! The first guy at immigration even laughed and joked about the effects of marriage on his hairline Secondary inspection was literally a 5 second ordeal All he said was, 'you know you have 90 days to get married, right?' I said yes, and he said well, congratulations! You can go now!

Our apartment is reallllly nice! Needs a bit of cleaning, I had all the windows off yesterday I am settling into domesticated life rather well... I even shocked myself

I am in a state of shock that I have my very own American front door key and weiss card

Oh oh oh! AND I am now 'officially' engaged We were in our back yard the day before yesterday and Chris dropped down on one knee (Under a BIG cherry tree!) and gave me the most beautiful ring!

We are at my Dad's at the moment going through wedding plans etc!!

Argh! So excited!!!

Hope everyone is doing well!!

Will try and pop on later.

Speak soon! xxx

Wow! How exciting Tasha! Welcome!

But now you've got me wondering because you said your Dad is here in the US? I recall responding to a question posted by a Dad about his daughter back in the UK. Is he the same person?

happy hump day everyone!

So the weather is lovely, but I'm really tired now, cos i've been in and out of the sun all day. And I've just remembered that if I spend too long in the sun I start to get a headache. Am I a dummy moving to LA????

I did manage to survive Hong Kong for 2 months, and really enjoyed it, I can't remember now if I just stayed in more, or if I got used to it.

I've been asking myself the same question recently...along with why does it cost more money to ship the same amount of cr@p across the country than to put it on a frickin' BOAT and sail overseas and then have to still go on the road from Philly to CT? Huh? Huh? New Haven to LA is a shorter distance than London to New Haven, and yet all the quotes I've received so far are at least twice what I spent with Excess Baggage to get the stuff over here in the first place.

Wake me up when I'm in Los Angeles -- I'm taking that Xanax now with a chaser of Tylenol PM.

[VisaJourneyLady 33]

hahha, and I was waiting for a good opportunity to say that I like your new ticker!!!

Well you've made one decision for me, I'm storing the stuff till we get an address in LA, the other option was to send it to my OH's mum's place in Miami, and then send it one when we have an address there.

I suppose I'm just getting ancy. Or onerey (sp? sorry StP!)

P.S. Maven, is this maybe just the stress of your presentation coming out in other ways? *hugs*
