Put On Your Big-Boy Rants

[Dianalorena 1,153]

Hey everyone! sorry I've been away.

 

 

It's been two months since I entered the U.S and I'm adjusting for the most part.

work has thankfully kept me busy, I'm making clients, taking some art courses. 

But two months in, neither my social security or green card have arrived, naturally. 

 I'm going to the office on Monday. Can't start building credit without it. 

Why is nothing remotely efficient when it comes to immigration? Jesus.

 

other than that, things are great with the mister flaco, we rented an adorable

1940's house in a good part of Austin and we've been spending a lot of quality time finally.

he is compensating for those two years of long distance by being incredibly attentive,

sweet and romantic so I can't complain! 

 

how are you, guys?

yay. why would anything be quick, right? I hope you will get everything soon. 

 

awww. 1940's house sounds just so dreamy and nice. I bet you guys feel comfortable, I'm glad, you finally are able to enjoy time with each other after being apart for so long 

 

It's cool that you're already working, may I ask where?

Kids got to get messy digging out pumpkin guts. They picked their picture and we carved them out.

Feeling ignored that no one has noticed or reputation-pointed our Spanish haikus, sigh we man.

You can make up for it by rep-pointing all our posts from here through eternity, si D2 ma'am.

Saturday ES* report, see man:

 

*GSs were duds, often that way man

 

-- Many (2+1) perfectly fitting suits [Bill Blass, Christian Dior, Jos. A. Bank]; 2 packs Solo cups; 

     Many (2+2+2) warshcloths; long screwdriver; canned chili & soup; Morton salt; Nautica bath-towel 

     = $Many ($2x2x2x2 + 2+2+1), steal man

-- mag flashlight with fresh batteries = $Many ($2+2+1), steal man

-- gently expired salt, Many (2+1) canned corn, unopened ketchup = free, steal man

-- Many (2x2x2+1) suit-hangers; Many (2x2x2+1) warshcloths = $Many ($2x2x2), OK man

Total = $Many ($2x2x2x2x2 + 2+1)

[TBoneTX 45,599]

In even better news than the ES haul, our back rather sucked again on Sat. morn but recovered quickly to the point that we often didn't have to think about it at all during the day, amazing man.

 

We are self-experimenting with a version of "traction" that might be helping, stay tuned for more man.

[TBoneTX 45,599]

As usual, warshed/baked/folded the kitchen rags, Saturday man.

We added all the newly purchased warshcloths, add we man.

The lint from just those was enough to make a sweater out of, unbelievable man.

[TBoneTX 45,599]

Anniversary din-din was enjoyed by all, we + she + wee man.

Found a steakhouse where the waiters serve off skewers, all kinds of all-one-can-ingest hot meats man.

Two kinds of chicken, Many (2+1) of steak, lamb, shrimp, sausages, & pineapple, try almost all we man.

 

Mini-B. probably ate his own weight in most of that, chip off the older block man.

Waiter even brought an anniversary cheesecake/strawberries slice, nice touch arranged by we man.

Mini-B. ate most of that too, chip off the older block man.

 

Best part was the Groupon, $i man.

Instead of the rack rate of $Many, faint we man, we paid only $Many, steal man.

 

Trip enabled us to warsh and then gas the needy Mrs.-T-B.-mobile, kill several chickens with one stone man.

And Mrs. T-B. really does look at least Many years younger with her newly straightened hairs, youthful she man.

 

[TBoneTX 45,599]

Scintillating Sunday repartee, yawn man.

 

Exciting Sunday update, see man:

 

Arose far earlier than preferred to caucus with dry-cleanerette/tailor, special caucus man.

(She'd been away at a funeral on Sat., explanation man.)

She was thoroughly impressed with our new* Bill Blass, Christian Dior, & Jos. A. Bank suits, wowwed she man.

 

*procured for $Many ($2+2+1) apiece at an ES, discerning dapper we man

 

All that needed alterating was slight cuff-shortening, otherwise perfect fits man.

 

We then began Many (2+2+1) laundry loads, Thread Laundress on "heavy" weekend we man.

We have finished the first, second, Many'rd, Many'th, and Many'th, take it from us man.

 

In addition to other regular chores, we:

-- sprayed/wiped the inside windshield of the T-B.-mobile, clear to us man

-- updated our envelope of fast-food coupons, purge expired & add new ones man

-- restocked the toilet paper in the bathroom, show Mrs. T-B. that we care about her backside man

-- went to CVS and got Many (2x2x2x2-2) bags of 2-for-1 Snickers, Halloween and snacks man

-- napped-without-cat very well, zzz we man

 

Our back held up quite well indeed, "traction" experiment apparently working man.

[TBoneTX 45,599]

Might make it to bed before midnight (?!!!), pre-zzz we man.

This is recently unprecedented, trumpet fanfare man.

Cat prep premature zzz man.

Mornin', semi-present Commie- and other babes with dormant-yet-highly allocatable rep-point inventories!

Hey, thanks for the update. Glad you're assimilating.  

 

Here, one state over from TX, we're enjoying the Autumn and the final week of the M-I-L's stay. That was one fast 2.5 months. La Colombiana turned 40 yesterday. She took it in stride since she was surrounded by friends and family, and the celebration included much dancing, alcohol, and especially cake.

Relevant to Steve's rant: the first episode of Patriot Act on the Netflix is about Tiger Dads suing to end affirmative action in college admissions.

 

And yes, I was implying that you are a Tiger Dad.
