Hey everyone! I'm surprised there wasn't a Thursday thread here.

Today should be a good day. Andrea should be reunited with Faisal, and Meriem's Hachemi should be arriving! Enjoy your time, ladies!

It's pouring down rain here, so it's kind of blah, but I am excited about the upcoming weekend. We're headed to the smoky mountains in NC/TN for the weekend. It'll be Amed's first trip up there. He's always wanted to meet some real American Indians, so we're going to go to Cherokee. I think he'll love it!

How is your day going?

Happy, Happy day for Andrea!! She gets to see her love today. :thumbs: What a great day for her and Faisal. And I will have this special day tomorrow. I cant wait. I talked to Hachemi just a few minutes ago. He is checking his bags at the airport in Casa. He sounds so nervous. He will be flying out to JFK in 2 hours.

Hope everyone has a good day.

I'm awake, but I'd rather not be ;) About to go to work - I have a busy morning, then a lunch date w/ one of my dear friends. I've been craving Thai food and she loves it too! Then back to work to figure out a program that I had problems loading on my computer yesterday :blink:, a couple more appts after that, then home sweet home. Maybe I'll even cook dinner tonite!

It's going to be another one of those long boring days again. I was wide awake 15 min ago but I just got so tired all of a sudden that I feel like I am going to pass out at my desk. My eyes keeping watering everytime I yawn! I hate mid-morning sleepies! It's turning out to be an okay day however. I am looking forward to the weekend. I get to sleep in on Saturday, which means I'll be up at 8, and I think my husband and I are going to go to the PA Renn Fest! Yay! I am excited! Anyway, I hope everyone has a good day!

I appear to still be breathing. A coworker made the mistake of asking me this morning "are you ok sweetie" and the waterworks started. I swore I wouldn't allow this to happen again, and it did. So, I wish I had a bag to put over my head. I didn't realize its all over my face. So I sit at my desk with my back to the world and work work work work until its time to go home.

I suppose I should apologize for my anger and mockery of the racist/bigotted/whatever you want to call it... I call it fear-induced ignorance... in "the other thread" but somehow I don't feel sorry.

I don't mean to be the thread downer... life isn't that bad. I've just decided I don't have enough left in me to apologize for myself anymore. I have a right to be who I am I guess.

Lovely week for reunions. Congratulations.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Jean, you don't have to apologize to anyone anymore abt this crud! Re: the other thread.... I've just decided when it pi$$es me off too much, I just really do need to skip it, as curious as I might be. I just don't have time for all that poop in my life.

And you know... I was reading in K1 forum abt some couples splitting up cuz this process is just so trying and I feel really blessed that, as much as we miss each other, Said and I are not really the least bit stressed abt this process nor is it having any ill effects on our relationship. Alhamdoulillah!!! We are truly blessed that we've come this far this easily. Maybe it's a true sign of our "soulmate-ness" (L) - I just made that word up, but it works! :P

My day just got busier, but, alhamdoulillah, that means more $$! woohoo!!

Jean,

You don't have to apologize for saying what you feel. How interesting would life be if we all just said what others wanted us to say? This process is enough to make even Mary Poppins into a raving bitchh. You're not a thread downer...stop being hard on yourself. We all have our bad days. Chin up Miss Jean!

I saw those threads too. And I can understand how this process can break a couple. Mohammed and I are too tight to let go, even if we get pissy at each other sometimes because we are both so FRUSTRATED by this maddening waiting waiting waiting. I told him about the breakups and he was shocked and bit outraged by how easily people let go. Well, there is always a bit more to it then that. I feel pretty blessed to. I hope this process continues moving as smoothly for you.

As far as skipping what angers me... I am too pent up right now and frankly I welcome the release. It may not be the best approach, but it is what it is.

It's such a long day! I wish my work day ended at 3! Oh well! Been very busy at work. Apparently I am the only one here that knows anything about computers and printers. Our copier/fax machine is on the fritz and they asked me to find the jam. Well there's no jam. I gutted that sucker and found nothing. so now someone 's coming in to fix it. That was a waste of 30 min. Well I guess the good thing is that I am going to go home and sleep for a good hours or so. We're still looking for mail from USCIS saying something about our AOS petition. I guess no news is good news.

I'm having a happy, happy, joy, joy kinda day :dance: For no reason at all :D I woke up with an incredible amount of energy. I danced around in my car on the way to work...yay!

Mrs. Z- I see your having a good day. Your hubby is still on your poop list? I'm sure he'll find a way to get off soon. It must be hard since he's not here. I bet he is wishing he was here so he could give you a massage or bring you flowers to make it up to you. Hope you have an even better day!

Ahhhh a massage would be so great! Sometimes my husband can say the most off the wall stuff to me and it bothers me for days. The weird thing is when I talk to him he doesn't have a clue that I'm haboring any resentment at all. Yeah, the separation makes things hard to deal with. When we're actually with each other we can talk things out better and get over them.

I'm still having a good day, though :)

Hope you're having a good one!

That's how my husband was, and still is. Sometimes I can be so mad at him that he will just laugh at me and make me even more upset. Then he thinks that everything will be better by appoligizing. I need time to sulk and think about how mad he made me. Either I am good at hiding my feelings or he is just plain oblivious! They can be very inconciderate of your feelings. Which I am sure you have figured that out by now. THere have been times where I have felt like an object instead of his wife! Oh well! I pay him back for that! It's fun! But after all the stupid stuff we do to each other, I still love the jerk.
