See I've had all of the big things booked since like May-June. But there's so many teeny tiny things to do and decide about. I get very overwhelmed.

Posted by Celles[/QUOTE]

That's the big thing ^.^

Urgh yeah, the green card. I HAVE to work too, so I have to pay for the fee to apply for a waiver to do that, which is like another 300 dollars. Then the grandish for the green card. And then I'll have to reapply for it, for the ten year one, but I'm not sure how much that costs. Even though I'll be able to apply for citizenship a year after the first one expires. I freaking hate this. I should've made him move to Canada.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: It's kinda quiet all up in here... : You can see them? GOOD!! I really like them. It took forever to find a good pair. I'm used to wearing 3-4" heels (FI is 6'-3" and I'm 5'-5"), but I didn't think that I could wear that high of a heel for that long. Plus, as my mom says, "TOE CLEAVEAGE!"
Posted by MattsPenguin[/QUOTE]

Ha! Yeah I didn't want a very high heel either, but I didn't want to wear flat shoes. Those are really, very nice. Your mom sounds funny :)

I watched the fence out my window get blown over yesterday. See it? Never mind the Dundie, k?:

I got the feeling it was just a survey, kind of like to figure out how many old-timers are still around. Why Chad in particular, I have no idea.

crfische · October 2010

Lala, it was just a poll. No story. I kept waiting for a story, but came up short.

Good lord that's awful weather. We Californians think we have it bad when it drizzles. Then everyone drives like an idiot and we have a ton of accidents. It's like everyone takes a stupid pill before driving when it rains here. I can't imagine how much worse it would be if it actually snowed.

[QUOTE]MP -- love the shoes! Still need to find mine but I've got plenty o time. Yeah, I normally wear 4" heels but thinking that heels + ceremony on a tee box = bad idea. Boo. I've been entertaining myself on the DIY board today. Weird.
Posted by jcbsjr[/QUOTE]

Thanks!

We're taking pictures on the football field before the reception, but we're not allowed to wear heels. So I made all of my girls sparkly flip flops and now I have to find a pair of wedge ones for myself. But after that, it's back to the nice shoes.

This. I just laugh when we get rain for more then 3 days in a row and the news headlines read "Storm Watch 2010"

FutureMrsTR · October 2010

We have a tornado watch until 8pm tonight. Maybe it could pick me up and toss me into the Bahamas or something. Maybe Bermuda...it's not too far south.

I just thought it was odd and random, especially since she didn't regale us with tales of "his" rise and outing and fall and subsequent entry into the TK Mod Witness Protection Program.

Bubbalub · October 2010

Dodgers, YES. Driving in the rain doesn't bother me and I grew up driving cars that hydroplaned if someone spit on the road. But I swear at least half the population here thinks that you can drive exactly the same in the rain as when it is dry and that's where the trouble starts. Plus, 1" of rain =/= Storm of the Century.

I bet the rest of the country laughs at us.

TR, I don't even usually watch baseball but I'm totally into it this year because of the Giants. I may have a teeny crush on Wilson, stupid beard and all. He's a big guy and I like that. :P

salt78 · October 2010

Huh. We have a tornado watch too. I had no idea.

laladypoet · October 2010

the first rule of remembering chad, is you don't talk about chad.

Bubba - my coworker really likes Wilson. I go for the scrawny geeky guys myself

Probably white or ivory. But if you can find 'em in blue or pink, go for it! It needs to be 2.5" heel.

ohwhynot · October 2010

Hi Stackeye! If it helps, we're having pasta with meatballs tonight.

Are you guys all set for Halloween costumes? I hope you post pictures.

Stackeye210 · October 2010

I made chicken and pesto pizza last night and spaghetti the night before so I'm not sure I can do Italian tasting food again tonight. I keep thinking about stir fry but it just seems like a lot of work today.

And yep! We're definitely ready for Halloween. Jocelyn is going to be Minnie Mouse. When is your Trick-or-treat? Ours is tomorrow. She also has her school party so she'll wear her costume to school tomorrow too, which she's really excited about.

Stackeye210 · October 2010

I wish they'd do it like that here, but now everyone seems to be moving to the Thursday night before Halloween so that it's "safer" for the kids. Forget about the safety of the parents during 5pm rush hour as the freeways are jam packed with people trying to get home before the 5:30 start time. Traffic always sucks soooooo bad on trick-or-treat night. Almost comparable to day before Thanksgiving traffic.

Bubbalub · October 2010

Same here, OWN. I find it weird that towns now designate a trick-or-treat night that is different from Halloween night. That sort of ruins the holiday for me.

Rosie109 · October 2010

The town I went to college in had banned trick or treating so I guess the kids would all come to the college and we would decorate our dorm hallways and hand out candy. Lots of fun. No kids will come trick or treating at our house

ohwhynot · October 2010

When I grew up, we'd always trick or treat on the last Sunday in October, during the daytime. Lame.

Stackeye, that's crazy. How is that safer? Ridiculous.

FutureMrsTR · October 2010

We won't get any trick or treaters this year, we're too far out in the boonies. I think they do a little costume parade with the kids on one main road, but I'm not going all the way out there just to hand out candy.

MattsPenguin · October 2010

I'm just hoping it's warm enough to sit on the porch. I love handing out candy.

Stacks - I didn't realize it until I got a "real job" that parents leave early on Halloween to help with their kids. It's kind of a fun night! I just try to be on the look out for tiny children while driving home.
