Hi all!

Glad to see everyone is still in a good mood! I'm feel pretty good today, it's starting to get quite warm here though, so sleeping to prep for my 12 hour backshifts is getting a bit harder ( I hate being too warm when I sleep).

William_Wallace: I am so jealous that you saw Mel Gibson...and in '95...he would have been pretty prime I was a young'un then, so it wouldn't have mattered anyway though *I still thought he was a dreamy thing though *

The Sex and the City movie was fabulous We had a girls' night out the first night it opened. 6 of us went together, and we waited in the line for an hour and a half to get prime seats. I might live in a small city, but every girl and woman here was trying to see that movie first night lol I adore the shoes on the movie, but have given up wishing for them for my self. I have pretty big ol' feet and they wouldn't be getting crammed into some of those lovely shoes

Bo said to say hi to everyone! He's in Minnisoda for training for his new promotion. He's there all week, so we will have to limit it to evening calls. He missed hsi first day today though because his flight was grounded for 6 hours last night due to weather. He was not a happy camper, but he'll live.

I've had mixed emotions about progress this week.. My adjudication date on my VJ timeline has moved back from around july 31 and now it's saying Aug 4 as the earliest, but on the other hand, we went from 151 on Igor's list to 138! so I'm still feeling positive..also the wait times in Montreal *the VJ average* has went from 116 days to 104 I think? so also good!

My countdown is more on for my trip 26 days till I get to go back to NC to spend 2 weeks with Bo in our new apartment! YAY! Now if only I wasn't so broke....

<3 Jen

Guys, you are just too funny

DairyFarmer How do you do it? I mean how do you figure out the times so precisely? I am so bad with it. The only thing that helps me right now is the fact that my laptop time is set to match Orlando . When I was in the States I honestly tried to figure out the time difference to call my mom during decent hours and still her phone was ringing at the break of day . And I'm supposevely really good with math too

Alex I want to see SEX and the CITY so badly... But they are showing shortened version and in stupid stupid Ukrainian translation. They just recenlty passed the law that all movie theatres have to show only Ukr. translation as opposed to previously used Russian. Thus it is very hastily done and uses many weird words that can really spoil the impression from the movie. So I have to wait!!! And really can't, I love Carrie and the gang so mucho . Already made Dave promise to buy me a DVD once it comes out .

AS to the shoes, am already stocking up for my move to the US - recently bought three pairs I just can't find gorgeous and affordable shoes in the States. I mean, I wish I could afford those Jimmy Choos or Manolos Hm, maybe one day when I get rich and famous

Ok, my dear VJ friends thanks for distracting me from work for a moment here Back to writing I go

I used to try to keep it straight but now have personalised my igoogle homepage. If in doubt go to google and ask the time. ie What time is it in Boston, mass, US and immediately you get an answer. But I have my igoogle homepage set for weather and time in all places.

As for shoes have you checked out Target.com, I swear gorgeous and affordable. (And you can buy on-line) Throw in Walmart (not kidding) and you find little gems which are the 'current fashion' at a fraction of the price so you can wear them to death.

But oh for some Choos, Manolo's, Marc Jacobs, or my current fav Christian Louboutin. :lust:

Thanks a lot for the tips I just realized that I've never been to Target shoe department, even though shopped there at least once a week I usually shoped Macy's sales and all-time fav. Payless They don't last that long but are so cool looking .

So, I have to go to a wedding this Friday. Going to be another rough day . At least finally found all bits and pieces for my own civil ceremony dress and my designer friend can start cutting and sewing . At times I feel like this wait is never going to end. But than I see all those approvals coming in for other ppl and start believing again Have a marvelous Tuesday everybody

Good morning/afternoon

How is everyone doing?

What a wonderful week, 6 approvals in just one day!

Vermont is on fire!

I adore Marshals, and TJ Maxx , and Ross... Orlando is great just because they have all those designer outlets, too... But sometimes even $500 for a D&G pair seems a bit expensive when you can get look-alikes for $35

Ok, I am starting to sound like Becky Bloomwood from Kinsella's Shopaholic books... Anybody read those?

Same here!!!

Try ebay! Got a pair of Dior sunglasses for only 89$....

Becky Bloomwood from Kinsella's Shopaholic books never heard about it!

How are you doing sweetheart!

I’m so happy with the approvals…

I'm doing good. Working, missing Dave, hating on USCIS (lol), same old ... How are you? Getting ready for your trip around Europe?

Kinsella's books are hillarious if you like chick lit (like Bushnell, Cabot or Weisberger). Same literature style as Devil Wears Prada. Its a series of five books about this girl who shops till she drops and always ends up in funny situations cause of her habits. I just love them!

I just re-read last couple posts and feel bad for the male part of this thread... They prolly seat there and think "What the heck? Shoe talk has taken over"

P.S. I so can't spell

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh i think i have been touched. Checked the Uscis page today and didnt even see, that the date on last update has changed. So i guess that means i have been touched?

Yes, you have been touched you lucky dog! Feels good, no?

Many of us in April got two consecutive touches in a row for whatever reason so you may want to check again tomorrow.

[william_wallace 8]

Think this "touch" is over hyped. Alot of people get there NOA2 wthout a single "touch" I'm not bothered if we get one. As long as we get the NOA2 within the timeframe, them i'm happy as a pig in $hit.

Maddy20

Fingers crossed for a soon approval!

William;

At home sitting on my butt in rainy Scotland Alex lol. Hows things with you, everything going ok?

[Maddy20 0]

I know that a touch doesnt mean that we got approved but just to hear that they are working on it makes me feel good. If i wouldnt get touched i wouldnt be worried either, but to me it is a good thing and i am happy about it especially on a day like today where everything seems to go the right way. Sorry you dont see it that way. Still wish everybody good luck on a fast approval.
