Thursday Stuff

[Together4ever 1]

*yawn*

Another day. Just like the last one. Whoopie. Just different clothes. Cuz, you know, it's the right thing to do. Let's see... tomorrow is Friday... mm hm.... tomorrow is pay day... thank god... today is officially dubbed "the day before Friday". There. Now I've managed to make it interesting.

*yawn again*

Hmm... absolutely nothing interesting to talk about. Woke up to the song, "I Would Walk 500 Miles" and was tempted to smash the radio, but I was a good girl. I have dragged myself 15 months... but that wouldn't make a very good song I think. (I hope you all are understanding I'm just being silly... because I'm trying to force myself awake.)

I think I complain too much. I'm really starting to bore myself but too busy and too tired to change it. Come on weekend. I need some serious "me" time.

So what's shakin you guys?

A whole lotta nothin' . Same old, same old, check , recheck status, wait, wonder, and worry. How pathetic my life has become !

We're supposed to hear today about our new apartment for Sept. 1. We've looked at two in the same building, one is bigger, but we're not sure yet if it's available. I'm hoping the bigger one is available, even though Wadi likes the smaller one better. Whichever one we get, it's a lot bigger and cheaper than what we're in now, so we'll take it!

I can't wait to move. A studio is much to small for two people, especially when one of them is as big as Wadi!

Girls, you all know I'm about to jump outta my skin! I will see my man in about 12 hours!!!!! I am soooo tired. I haven't been able to sleep over 3 hours since Monday. I'm sure when I see him I'll be wide awake though.

Amy, you're gonna even forget your name! You better keep me posted.

Jabree, I know what you mean. Every time I see or hear the word "visa" I want to break out in hives. Can't even bear my visa debit card these days (and maybe that's a good thing... heh). I love your avatar.

Jenn, good luck on the apartment. You know you'll get the one just right for you. Moving sucks but settling into a new place is always fun.

I have my coffee! One eye is now open! Look out world! I may type 100 wpm today! (Used to, but tendonitis now says SLOW DOWN WOMAN!) zzzzzzzzzzz So much for enthusiasm. Geez, wasn't I just at this desk???? Feels like all I did was go to the restroom and come back. Blah. I need to find a life somewhere after 5:30 pm I think. Ha ha.

OMG AAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today's the day.... holy crizzap! I wish we were all in your shoes today. Have a wonderful reunion

As for me, I'm not terribly busy at work, so I'm having a "me" day... chiropractor at 11:15, massage at 1pm! If it doesn't get busy before my scheduled work, I must do some catch up on taxes. OH!!! and kudos to Mom! She's loaning me the money to pay off my 2004 taxes so I don't have to look at my ex-husband's name on the bill every month Thanks Mom!!! She's the best. I mentioned I was going to take out a loan cuz I couldn't stand that until it was paid off I'd have to look at his name & social security # on *my* taxes - mind you, he never paid a dime of it so, it's all me, but his dang name is there & I'm sooooo over it! Thanks again Mom!!!!

Have a wonderful day everybody.... hope we get some good news... or at least catch some of Amy's good energy today!

Worry has struck again! My husband and I talked last night about the near future. He misses his family so much. It's been 3 years since he has seen his brother and sisters. Thank Allah that his mother came for a month this June. But the worst thing is that the last time he saw his father, he didn't know it would be the last time he would see him on the earth. The past 5 months have been really hard for him and I know that he has been depressed. I keep reassuring him that we will go to Morocco ASAP! But things just keep happening. First I can't send the AOS packet because of the tax info for the I-864, which the info should have come last week. I called a week ago and the lady told me it should be here this week. So far I haven't seen it. I had a dream last night that it came. So maybe today's the day, Inshallah. I told him that we can file for the I-131 so we can go to Morocco in January. He's not sure if he wants to do that. He says he feels like a prisoner of the USA. I asked him if it would be better to be in Morocco and not be able to see me for a few years. He said it wouldn't be better unless we were both in Morocco. So now I have been telling him that everything will be okay and that it will all be over in a few months, Inshallah.

But as for today being Thursday, I woke up in a good mood. I am planning on staying in that good mood. I found a nice shiney penny heads-up, so hopefully today will just keep getting better.

Sorry for venting! I just needed to get that out! I hope everyone has a wonderful day, Inshallah!

I hope things brighten up for you Janine... maybe you have a couple of lucky signs today, so things are looking up. Good luck....

I just don't understand! Why does it feel like it should be 11 when it's only 9:30?! I've been at work for a little over an hour and it's just dragging. I hate slow mornings! I can't wait until lunch. Then it will only be 4 more hours til I get to leave!

Come on Thursday! Move a little faster!

LOL...Jean you crack me up! I feel you..this may sound selfish but sometimes when I hear about the reunions and what not I wanna cry Don't get me wrong..I'm sooo happy for those getting visas and reuniting. I was talking with my husband about the waiting and he made a comment about how it's kinda like waiting through pregnancy (yeah like he'd know but whateverrrrr). I told him..at least with pregnancy you know the baby will be here in 9 months give or take. Not like the damn visa process where the beaurocrats have your future in their hands and you have no clue when you can get on with it.

Ok I'm done with that.

I'm having an ok Thursday alhamdulillah. Looking forward to the weekend and hanging out with good friends. The weekend is the only time I can just forget about the whole visa nonesense and pretend I have an actual life that doesn't revolve around visas.

On a happier note...Big Congrats to Joyeann! Not long now and you'll have your love between your arms

HAHAHAHAHA. Bet you guys are sick of my whining. I know I am for sure.

Mrs. Z... I can guarantee you that all those celebrating have been in those shoes and understand it. I have cried buckets the last few days. They're mixed tears. I am seriously so overjoyed and thrilled for all those visas!!!! Makes me all giddy. Then reality crashes down and the tears go icky. LOL

I was thinking the other day, I wish so much I could invite each and every one of you to our marriage celebration (if it EVER happens I swear to god...) and have a party. Otherwise, it'll be Moh, me and the kids. Nothing wrong with that either.

I need to shut up and eat my lunch. I could not face another frozen diet meal. I've stuck to it 2 or 3 weeks now (time has just gotten elusive to me) and lost a whopping 5 pounds (blah) but for some reason the last few days I am so hungry its making me crazy. Soooooooo the wheels fell off the diet today and I'm having a personal pizza and a cherry pepsi. Yeah me!
