I watch too many romantic movies!

$1500!!  WOO HOO!! Thats wonderful.  I never win in Vegas, but my friend that I go with always does, so she usually buys me stuff, and thats good enough
We stayed at the Bellagio a few years ago and now I am super spoiled - The Venetian is definetly next on my list. It sounds like it will not disappoint! I have promised myself I will go back before I move to England.  One final fling with Vegas since David hates it there and I would never be able to drag him along.

Beth - double YAY for snow days.  We never get those   It snowed like 3 feet the last time we had an offical snow day.

Have a wonderful time at the sea side and happy thoughts for an easy FLR experience, Jamie and Alan!

For me: this week is drrraaaaging big time.  No one will call me back, or send me information I need to do anything, so I am basically stuck twiddling my thumbs and staring out the window.
David was supposed to buy a ticket to come visit at Easter yesterday and it doesnt look like he did.  Ugh. Procrastinators.

I'd probably be like David though, Carey....although, I'm itching to buy my ticket to England already, but can't since we don't know what's going to happen with the whole visa situation (although I think we'll be fine and I'll be approved before Ian leaves).

And Chi, congrats on the winnings!  I've never been to Vegas....and probably never will..lol.

I'm tired already...lol.  Had a busy day at work, and during my lunch break called a woman about getting a cake.  I would LOVE to order from her, but it's close to $200 because she lives like, 3 hours away from me.  Oh well...will call one more place tomorrow and see if I can get a better deal.  And I MUST order my shoes tonight.

O.k....so this isn't all stuff you ladies NEED to know, but if I write it down I'll remember if, so you're helping me out. :p

And tomorrow is Hump Day!  WOO HOO!

Hi all,

Sorry I've been MIA lately...I've been working insane hours, and trying to organize my life a bit (pre-spring cleaning, I suppose).  My goal is to be completely debt-free (except mortgage) before I move abroad, so most of my time/energy is focused on that at the moment.

I have been reading some books, though.  I greatly enjoyed Rules, Brittania as a general "do these things, don't be shocked by these other things, never do these things" source.  (I imagine you guys who've spent tons of time over there already know a lot/all of them, though.)  I've only glanced through Living and Working in Britain, but it looks like a treasure-trove of info.

Not much else to report here...I'm counting the minutes until daylight saving time starts so that I have some chance of seeing my horse.  I was all set to spend this weekend with him, and then it was gross the entire time.   I'm shooting for a competition on 3/21, though, so we need to get in some practice beforehand.

It feels waaaaaaaay later in the week than Tuesday....

oh my ladies! Well we are off to Shefield today to apply for my flr/m in person I feel sooo sick:( Hope it goes well....I'll update later wish us luck

Good luck, Jamie!  I'm sure everything will be o.k.!

It feels waaaaaaaay later in the week than Tuesday....

Yeah it does! I was just saying that it feels like it should be Friday. Any why does my coffe just make me jittery and not really awake?? That sucks. I feel like my eyes look like I haven't slept in a week.

Good luck Jamie and Alan! Don't worry, I'm sure everything will go smoothly.

Hi. Been a hectic day here. Feels like it should be Fri. But it's not. *sigh* Had a budget meeting this morning at school. We might be forced to take non-paid furlough days next year! Yippee! No raise AND less money! Woot! "Secure job" my ars*! How I wish things had worked out for me to go over to the UK this year. Oh well. Nothing I can do, right?

Enough moaning! Good luck Jamie and Alan!

Hope you're all doing well. At least we're 1/2 way through the day (except poor Carey on mtn. time! lol) Going to see Flogging Molly tonight- some sort of Irish punk band? I got the tickets for my sister for Christmas. Just unfortunate timing this week. Toooo much going on! Anyway... later gatorz!

Beth hope you have a Happy Birthday on Thursday           

Any why does my coffe just make me jittery and not really awake?? That sucks. I feel like my eyes look like I haven't slept in a week.

I don't know why, but my soda is having the same effect.  I feel groggy and 3/4 asleep, and yet I've been drinking caffeine all day.  Sigh...

Beth, I've heard good things about Flogging Molly, but never heard them myself.  I'm always on the lookout for cool Irish bands, though, so report back with your impressions!  I've been listening to mad amounts of Gaelic Storm recently (and hope to get to see them in concert this fall!).

Ohhh I love Flogging Molly! I wouldn't call them punk persay but more loud, enjoyed best if drunk, violin-y music. I hope you enjoy it Gottagettolondon  Go on to youtube or somewhere and just sample their music.

Sooo...

....it's Thursday, and that means...

IT'S BETH'S BIRTHDAY!!!  WOOOOOO!    

Hope you have a nice birthday, deary!   


How's everyone else doing, btw?

And congrats to Jamie for getting her FLR(M) yesterday!

Ugh. I have to schedule my flight home next week.  I have to leave in about 3 weeks.

*cries*

Anna I'm sorry you have to go home:( Don't worry though i'll bet you'll be back soon!

Beth Happy Birthday!!!!!

and Patty!!!! Dress fitting YAY!!

Oh man I am trying to get stuff done around the house today but this little guy is making it very very difficult:( I'll I want to do is take a nap plus I'm feeling freaking ill ALL the time BOO but it's worth it in the end:) Today is our first midwife appointment! YAY

Anna I'm sorry you have to go home:( Don't worry though i'll bet you'll be back soon!

I know I'll be back, it's just not knowing when or for how long. It sort of all hinges on when Tim decides to propose.  I don't want to go home and start to pack if I don't know when I'm moving, know what I mean? 

Carey don't worry about David not buying his ticket yet...he is a male and a procrastinator...I am so happy he is coming over to see you at Easter....

Patty how are the wedding plans going? how is the boy?

Jaime and Alan congrats on your wedding and baby and FLR....you guys are having a wonderful year aren't you...

Happy Birthday Beth how was the band? when are you and Patty and coming to see me or letting me know when I can come visit you over here in England...I could use some more American friends over here lol

Anna I am sorry you have to leave Tim but you tow will be back together before you know it...this is the hardest part of the ldr trust me...being seperated but you know what in the end it will make the two of you stronger...it just sucks while it is happening..

chi chi and all the other ladies in here just wanted to say hi and hope all is well

things here are good I am over my jet lag and slowly getting used to life back here in England...I love being with Jason more then anything in the world...I feel like I am finally home...
