Congratulations Karen (CeramicsFan), that is wonderful news.  May I ask where you emmigrated from (if that's not too personal?) 
I always wanted to go to a swearing in ceremony, I've seen them on television and it just makes me proud.


Thanks, Patty!  :)

I came from Canada originally, but I've lived in the U.S. since I was 8 months old so I've pretty much been an American all my life!  :D

Is that getting your Green Card?


No it is not, Phil...

A Green Card is what I've been holding for all these years, ever since my family moved from Canada to the U.S. when I was still a baby...

Green Card holders essential have most of the benefits that American citizens do, except they can't vote or be called for jury duty...

When I became naturalized, I had to give back my Green Card as I wouldn't be needing it anymore!  :D

Hopefully, today will be somewhat relaxing.

I need to get some pruning done- we have this tree that's got so many branches now, it looks like a "Weeping Willow".

Do you speak Canadian, eh?  :D ;D ;D ;D



Cat

Do you speak Canadian, eh?   :D ;D ;D ;D

Cat


No traces of the accent in me...but my parents still have it!  :D

Thanks, Rob!  :D

I'd held a green card for many years and kept telling myself that I was gonna make it official and become an American citizen...and only now have I gotten around to doing it!  :D

You'd think that being married to an American citizen, with American kids, would make me an American citizen...right?  Wrong.  I had to go through the whole process...but now it's done!  :)

For the record, I actually have 'dual' citizenship with Canada and the U.S. ... 8)


To get me in the mood, I'm listening to Sousa's 'Stars and stripes forever' on your behalf, lol. So that's were we British get the football chant; 'Here we go' from.  ;D

I am very surprised your marriage and kids didn't have any bearing on your nationality. Governments are so stubborn, aren't they?

I didn't know you had Canadian citizenship either. Next you will be telling me you are a spy for the FBI . . .

Anyway, you got the job done. You can wear a grass skirt and a coconut bra with pride now.  8) :D

Very true, ha ha.

I just thought you were a bit like ALF, I knew you come from somewhere else but thought you were American anyway . . . like a legal alien, lol.

And to the best of my knowledge you don't eat cats.  ;D

No, the cat-eaters come from parts of Italy, and Sicily.
(Fortunately, my Italian ancestors come from Nalpes, so I'm safe- relatively speaking.)

Very windy day today....and I just cleaned up my yard over the weekend!  >:(  :(

Good news...hubby just made a deal to get a new(er) car from his buddy's mom for us on Saturday.  It's a 1999 Station Wagon and has 100,000 miles on it, but hell it has reverse gear and probably goes over 25 miles per hour (unlike my van). And it's something we can afford and we can make payments on it.  I'm so stoked.  Woo hoo.

Hey, that's terrific!  :)

Just got home from my nephew Chris's 8th Grade Graduation Ceremony.

Until last night, I didn't understand why exactly that Central Middle School does this.
Melissa explained it to me, in a way that makes some sense.

Tomorrow, Melissa & I have been invited to a BBQ for Volunteers, at Teela's school.

It's a minimum day, so I'll have to make sure I get enough sleep.

We are going to the Pirates game tonight..but I'm really not feeling like going. I don't feel well and it's supposed to be like 90 degrees outside. :-\\

That is a positive step up, Patty - excellent stuff.  8)

I'm  feeling cruddy because of an ear infection, but I go see the doctor today.

Oh no, I hope your doctor helps you with it. I had a bit of an ear-problem a while back but I think that was because I kept trying to clean my ears out with cotton buds.

Ouch...the dr. said never to do that.  But I imagine other habits have contributed to mine, plus allergies...blech!

And thanks.. :)

(I've been this afternoon and he gave me some antibiotic ear drops, that should do it!)

I may take Hubby out to dinner tonight. It is up to him whether he wants to go or not.

Have to get ready for the Volunteer BBQ @ Teela's school.

Today is her last day as a 1st Grader.
(Damn, she's growing quickly!)

How do I go and approach the same woman customer who I see almost every day in the parking lot and ask her out for coffee(even though I don't know her at all) and it might sound weird but I don't want to be rejected or get slapped in the face for saying something wrong. :(

First thing I'd check is her left hand.
If you see a ring on her ring finger- just move on to the next one.

If the field appears to be clear, casually approach her, and make a little small talk, before asking her.
If she says no, then just take it for what it is, and politely excuse yourself.

So,the ring finger is what you look for? I haven't thought about that one,Thanks Wayne.I've never gotten to talk to women in the parking lot because I'm so busy collecting carts that I don't want to stop and talk because I'll be so worried about the lot being filled up with wagons that I'll forget where I left off.

Good points,

I would start very slowly, Howard. Only smile at the lady to start with and then only say hello when the smiling becomes mutual. Once the smiling becomes mutual and hello's are being said, then maybe use small talk with a touch of humour thrown in.

'Cold-calling' (as I like to call it) takes a lot of preparation. Remember that this lady doesn't know you from Adam so you need to make her feel comfortable first before you attempt a rapport. Step by step . . .

Good luck. :)

That's good advice, Bobby.  DO NOT just ask this lady out for coffee, Howard.  Lay the groundwork, schmooze a little...

Tee hee, she would probably get creeped out if she got asked for coffee straight out from some random bloke, lol.

Lol...she would, for sure!

Either she would walk away,tell the supervisor on me or say something nasty.

Mad as f**k. So last Friday night, I had bought three different types of booze (Kahlua, apple pucker, and premixed Long Island iced teas). The bottle of tea got broken on Friday night by my sister's friend. I wasn't too mad because the shopping bags were flimsy and he didn't have a good grip on it. When I went to bed on Friday night, a half bottle of Kahlua and most of the apple pucker was left. Last night I went looking for them. They were gone. My goddamned sister's leech of a friend took it ALL. Then tonight I went to get my bottle of SKYY vodka (you know, the top shelf expensive sh*t) that I had had from a couple of weeks ago to mix a screwdriver. There was maybe two inches to this bottle left when I got it out of the cabinet. I distinctly remember there being at least a half a bottle left over before her damned friend was around. I am SO pissed right now because SKYY vodka is not cheap and I didn't buy all that alcohol for his lush ass to drink.

Oh, he's going to be one sorry ho when I see him again...

Today was a weird day.  I went to this beauty school to get my hair done (because I had a $10 coupon).  I'd been there before and the student did a good job.  Today, they had a special for hair color and a cut.  I arrived at 1:30 (my appointment), the girl didn't start coloring my hair until a hour later (I was sitting at her station even), and then 2 hours later the color is finally done.  She starts cutting my hair, but stops halfway (only one side of my head was cut) and says "Well I gotta leave now for my other job, but I'll get someone else to finish cutting your hair for you."  ??? :o  Um, ok.  So then she brings her teacher to check out the color what hair she managed to cut, then asked her teacher to finish cutting my hair for me, gathers up her stuff and takes off.  The teacher does start cutting it...then asks another student (the same guy that did my hair cut 2 months ago) to finish cutting my hair for me.  So a hour after that I am finally finished.  It took from 1:30 - 5:30 to get my hair done and it still ended up costing $56 (with tip).  My hubby is telling me I should write to the school and complain, because the girl that left should not have started cutting my hair if she knew she was going to be leaving mid-way thru the procedure.  The color is nice, although since the student left me half cut, the teacher and other student had to recut it the proper way (so now it's shorter then I really had planned.)  But oh well, it still looks alright, and it's still better then anything *I* could have done to it.  I don't like to complain, I really don't want to get anyone in trouble.

Here's my new cut/color, it's just above my shoulders (this is the shortest it's been in a good 20 years or so.)

Well that sucks Jess, next time take all the alcohol to your room with you.  ;D  I'd hand him a bill for what he drank. 

The cut and color suit you i think.  But 4 hours to get your hair done!  I would definitely complain about that.

One question (probably showing my britishness!) why did you tip them if you didn't like the job?

I'm laying in wait for him to show up. :D

I like your haircut and the color. You should complain though. Do it in a nice way or something:

"To Whom It May Concern:

While I love the cut and color I received at your school, I do not appreciate having it take four hours."

Then just explain what happened and all the trouble you went through. Let this be a lesson to the student. If she's going to be a professional, then she needs to freakin' act like one. And the teacher shouldn't have let her go so easily. That's lame.

Thanks.

I'm silly with money, that's why.  I just remember there were times when I was married the first time, that all the money we had to go on was what he made in tips (delivering pizza) that day until my paycheck came in or his came in.  So...I guess I just kinda pass on the good karma (from those days all those years ago), even though tips are really how you are supposed to show whether you are pleased (or not) with service.  I understand the concept, I just don't feel it's right not to tip something.  ;D

I rarely tip the hairdresser.  Sometimes if they've done a good job then I do.  I used to think about tipping them, thinking I'd say 'keep the change' but then it would turn out to be exactly £10 or something and it seemed weird to routle around to find an extra coin or two to give them  :-\\

Yesterday, I finally became a naturalized American citizen!  :D


Congratulations Girl!!!! Best thing I have heard all day!!



Well, I am in windy Arkansas right now - about ready to head to bed.
We got a late start today, so unfortunately we didn't make it as far as we would have liked, but we are out of the State of Texas!!! WooHoo! Up again tomorrow at the butt crack of dawn to drive even more. Hate the Uhaul trailer - makes our suv use more gas than I ever thought it would! :o

More updates to follow!!!

Keep it up, I wish I had some kind of clue of how far you are driving etc..........I need to check out a map.

Wow, 4 hours! I don't know if I could sit there for so long!  :( I think your hair looks really, really nice, though!  :)
Me too, and I also think you should write to the school. Not to complain as such but to lay out the facts, there is no way it should have taken that long and as your husband says the girl should not have started your hair if she knew she was leaving. She needs the feedback so she can improve her work.

I need a breath of fresh air so, I am going to Lord's for cricket, but rain is expected today.

I see this certain woman almost all the time in the parking lot,today she gave ME the smile and I smiled back.She has short brown hair with a few tied knots in the back,sometimes she looks serious.Man I'm just afraid of talking to women there,I might get rejected.  :(
I wouldn't do that Howard  http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/14/nono.gif  and i wouldn't worry so much about rejection, although that does suck. It's possible a customer may not like being approached by an employee asking them on a date when all they came to do was a little shopping. She/they might complain and you could lose your job.  it's risky.  too bad there wasn't somewhere else nearby, some gathering place/watering hole where you could prey on   ask some nice girl out for some coffee  ::)

Then tonight I went to get my bottle of SKYY vodka (you know, the top shelf expensive sh*t) that I had had from a couple of weeks ago to mix a screwdriver. There was maybe two inches to this bottle left when I got it out of the cabinet. I distinctly remember there being at least a half a bottle left over before her damned friend was around. I am SO pissed right now because SKYY vodka is not cheap and I didn't buy all that alcohol for his lush ass to drink.

Oh, he's going to be one sorry ho when I see him again...
what a leech! I'd be mad too!  very inconsiderate and nervy of this guy. get em jess!  http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/09/snake.gif


Congratulations Girl!!!! Best thing I have heard all day!!



Well, I am in windy Arkansas right now - about ready to head to bed.
We got a late start today, so unfortunately we didn't make it as far as we would have liked, but we are out of the State of Texas!!! WooHoo! Up again tomorrow at the butt crack of dawn to drive even more. Hate the Uhaul trailer - makes our suv use more gas than I ever thought it would! :o

More updates to follow!!!
