I... think we passed? Just waiting for status to change online but I think it went very well. :) 

 

I keep trying to lie down for a nap but about every 5 minutes someone texts/calls/pings one of us for an update. (He's passed out already and apparently cannot hear any of the notifications.) I should just turn off both the phones.

Read from Mini-B.'s magazine and book, read we with wee man.

 

Miu is sound asleep atop her miu-tower, but this will certainly change, nocturnal miu man.

 

We obviously remain an incorrigible party-animal, no self-control and don't want any we man.

Scintillating Friday repartee, yawn man.

Thrilling Friday report, see man:

 

Lunch was PBJ sandwiches, 2 each ingested by Two Guys man.

 

As soon as weekly POTS $ale$ numbers* were in, approached we wee man, si man.

       *yet again record-smashing, buy yours today man

Mini-B. immediately guessed that we were trying to take him to get his hairs cut, see wee man.

Mini-B. immediately went into lengthy delay/negotiation/stall tactics, practiced wee man.

Somehow, we got him into the T-B.-mobile, resourceful we man.

 

Went to 2-chair Mexican shop, not there for a while man.

Mini-B. got hairs cut by Señora Margarita, cut wee man she man.

Then we got our hairs cut by Sra. Margarita also, cut we man she man.

Two Handsome Gringos, concluded all man.

Total was $Many ($2x2x2x2), not including that we tipped her man.

 

Afterward, Mini-B. surprisingly circumspect, usually angry/griping/accusatory wee man.

We gather that he didn't dislike this cut-hairing experience OR result, both crucial man.

 

Drove through Dairy Queen for Blizzards, pre-promised bribe man.

Blizzards consumed in parking lot, Two Guys man.

Drove through Burger King for chicken sandwiches/fries, with use of coupon man.

Returned to casa, ingest BK stuff Two Guys man.

Ended up watching Many (2+2) -- yes, Many (2+2) -- YouTubes about locusts, interesting man.

Then watched a Many (2+1) Stooges film, always good man.

Many (2+2) bags of Costco popcorn were consumed, ingest Two Guys man.

A good Two Guys day/night, conclude we and wee man.

It's 4am and I can't sleep.  Turned on the TV for some diversion and am watching some "infomertial" from Time-Life wanting to sell me their 9 CD collection of music called "AM Gold".  All the best music of the mid 60's to the mid 70's that was the rage on AM radio.  They are playing the music and showing videos.  Get the entire collection for 5 easy payments of $26.95.  Order in the next 15 minutes and get the special bonus CD....

 

WOW, I remember EVERYONE of those songs.

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you.

Someone stole my dictionary. Now I am at a loss for words.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

If your pet has a bladder infection, urine trouble.

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

My kid has A.D.D... and a couple of F's

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

Just checked USCIS case status. R's N400 has been scheduled for November 8. We are both freaking out a bit....we thought it would be next year...

He'll sail through and then you can forget all about USCIS 😁

Saturday GS/ES report, see man:

 

Had a plethora of "community GSs" itineraried, itinerary we man.

The first Many were anemic at best, in fact all duds man.

We lost patience and skipped the last two, efficient we man.

Only the last GS and the only ES yielded the take, see man:

 -- 2 shirts for Mini-B.; new Suave for Men shampoo = $Many ($2+2), deal man

 -- 2-step stool; 2 boxes business security envelopes; new Westclox wall clock = 

        $Many ($2x2x2+1), deal man

Total = $Many ($2x2x2 + 2+2+1)

 

We then went to a new children's resale store with a coupon for $Many ($2x2x2+2) off a $Many ($2x2x2x2x2-2) purchase, see what's there man.

See the take, see man:

 -- Many (2+1) short pants, L-S shirt, seemingly new windbreaker = $Many ($2x2x2x2 + 2+2+1), after coupon man.

More than we normally see fit to pay, but they also buy stuff from customers, mentally file we man.

Thank you! And no, I'm not going anywhere. We're taking a breather, and then we're going to start thinking about petitioning his daughter so that when he becomes a citizen in 3 years, she can come in on an IR2 and become a citizen as well. We don't plan on having her live with us permanently, but we want her to have two citizenships to give her as many options as possible. Her mum supports this plan too. So I guess I'll have a new subforum to navigate...

 

My husband is out tonight -- we were supposed to have a celebratory dinner out, but out of the blue he heard an old friend from when we lived in the Bay Area was in town, so they're out together. I gave it a pass. He's a nice enough person but those two get so very much into their in-jokes that I get bored, quickly. Going to get back to working on my novel instead. Far more productive use of time!

Thrilling Saturday report, see the news man:

 

Breakfast/lunch (at half-of-half after 2 p.m.) was a can of green beans*, see below man.

      *bought at a previous ES, financially savvy we man

Napped for an hour, not nearly enough zzz man.

 

Prepped for cuzzins' Many'th-anniversary party, big shindig in hotel man.

Mini-B. supervised by Cousin M.-B. in Ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s casa, supervised wee man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. was to attend with The Rojo, current boyfriend of ex-she man.

We had not yet met him in person, no man.

 

We arrived first, socialize and eat most expensive horse-divers we man.

Eventually, Ex-Mrs.-T-B. and the Rojo showed up, ex-she and Rojo man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. was really hot*, hot tamale she man.

      *as with all parties, vain ex-she man

The Rojo was quite nice, good rapport Rojo and we man.

The Rojo said, "Finally, the infamous T-B., see man."

We said, "Greetings and sympathies, si and sigh man."

We continued by saying that we had kidded Ex-Mrs.-T-B. about getting into a fight, si man:

"You take her!"  "No, YOU take her!"  "No, YOU take her!" escalating to inevitable fisticuffs man.

Conversation was actually quite pleasant, rapport Rojo and we man.

Rojo got terribly hosed by psycho ex, left him with 2 daughters full-time man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. asked why we hadn't brought our Cubana, figment of ex-she's imagination man.

We evaded topic without admitting nonexistence of Cubana, evasive we man.

We did tell the Rojo about our harem of Many (2+2+2) rubias, duration of marriage man.

Maybe he will adopt the same, sensible-looking Rojo man.

 

Someone snapped a foto of Ex-Mrs.-T-B. and the Rojo, many such instances man.

We posed behind and made a face, Timing Is Everything man.

 

We were seated at the alleged "singles'" table, what a joke man.

It was we and Many (2+1) elderly male Oil & Gas attorneys, male contingent man.

It was a neurotic amiga of female cuzzin + rather cute daughter, female contingent man.

Daughter disappeared from table for long stretches, amiga didn't even know where man.

Amiga & daughter conversed between themselves the rest of the time, insular she men man.

We had rather nice time chatting with the O&G attorneys, pleasant dudes man.

However, this was not primo for expanding our bevy of rubias, no man.

 

Din-din was spare-no-expense buffet, heavenly man.

We eschewed salad/rolls for sliced beef, sliced pork, & salmon chunks, ingest we man.

(At least 2 of the Many O&G attorneys did the same, highly intelligent table man.)

 

We had arrived at half-past Many (2+2+2) p.m., punctual we man.

We left at half-of-half past Many (2x2x2+1) p.m., retrieve Mini-B. man.

We said goodbye to Ex-Mrs.-T-B. and the Rojo at their table, polite we man.

To the Rojo, we said, "Nice meeting you and sincere sympathies, Dude," say we man.

Immediately after, we gave an air smooch to Ex-Mrs.-T-B., hee hee hee man.

She's probably urinated at us, hee hee heeeeeee man.

 

Retrieved Mini-B., up-jacked on video games wee man.

Got him asleep by half-of-half past Many (2x2x2+2) p.m., WAY past bedtime for wee man man.

He will be a wreck when visiting Mama T-B. on Sunday, sleepy wee man.

 

On Sunday, we will see if Ex-Mrs.-T-B. is still talking to us, ha ha haaaaaaa man.

 

In other gripping news, miu lobbied us insistently for treats, insistent miu man.
