Happy Saturday MENA! I am planning on taking a well deserved day off today. Hope you all have a great day in whatever you are doing. By the way, what are you doing?

Jackie

well here in Michigan it is going to be 90 deg so we are heading out to the beach!

What part of Michigan? Upper or lower?

Jackie

We are in the lower part of Michigan, are you close to me?

We live a little south of Chicago. My boss has a summer place in New Buffalo, Michigan. It was smokin hot here yesterday. 92 and hazy, the kind of heat you feel when you breath. Gotta love humidity.

J

This is a great weekend for us. Hachemi's AOS was approved and card production ordered!!!!

Whoohoooo Done with immigration for a while!

Well Yesteday was hazy here in central California and it was 84. It was stuff cos of the haze but otherwise beautiful. Today I am driving my brother to San Francisco so that he can fly to visit my mom. 2 hour drive each way but I pray that soon I will be making this trip to pick up my husband.

not sure what we are doing. yesterday was awesome. my stepdads boss let us borrow his H2 for the weekend for my sister's junior high dance and she got to take some of her friends in it. it was just too cool for words. i have new pics from the dance posted on myspace, she looked adorable. today we may drive it to my grammas, but im not even sure, the thing is a tank lol and only gets 11.6 miles to a gallon of gas.....errr...expensive lol. but fun for the weekend and no rental charge lol, just gotta put gas in it awesome lol.

so its june 2nd...ive been here since april 12th....seriously the end hassss to be in sight! but the good news is, my paperwork should be at the foriegn ministry today...wonder how long that will take....

anyway, have a good weekend!

What happened with the self-ish post of yesterday? Was it just removed? I was looking for it today and can't find it.

Im so happy for you!!! What a time you've had with this!!!!



I'm coughing up half a lung today. Plan on steaming myself to oblivion followed by laying on the couch watching Lifetime with vics vapor rub. I get my stitches out in two weeks and I can't get the area wet so taking a shower will be quite fun. On the bright side, I found bread at Trader Joes that has like 0 points!!! It has 40 calories, no fat and 5 grams of fiber and is mmm mmm good.

Congrats Meriem and Hachemi, that's great news! Have fun celebrating!


I'm on my way out to go to my dad's in CT for the day. My uncle's gonna do some much needed work on my car, not Jesus, the other one.

Have a great day everyone and enjoy your day off, Jackie!

Congratulations to Meriem and Hitcham!!!

Got up and cleaned the stove early, out to get my co sponsors 6 months of payroll stubs, then off to pick up Faisal's ticket. Then taking my daughter swimming! I would go to the beach, but the water is still sooooooooooooooo cold here in Chicago. I feel it will be a sticky one here, I can feel it already.

Have a great weekend everyone!

funny how things "magically" disappear when it's convenient

I don't get it. I know the OP wanted it closed, but I don't know why it dissapeared. I PMed Ewok about it. I don't understand why it was removed all together. I think it was a good topic. Maybe we should continue it in a new thread?

Oh- Happy Saturday!

Hi everybody. Still no action on my house. I can't wait to get it sold so we can move on with our lives.

Jackie,
You and your husband NEED to come visit before we move! Noor will be visiting June 12 - 19th so maybe we could work something out!!! We could go shopping at the Lake of the Ozarks. I know you and shopping...cmmon, you know u wanna.

I hope you all get some swift moving mojo this coming week! I wanna see some good news flooding the boards!!!

we had tropical storm barry move through all last night and into this morning. for some reasons it didnt have the "normal" storm sounds, and throughout the night I woke up. back to researching the budget for our house "flip"! thanks for all your carpet tips J!

its too hot and humid here in NY not to have a/c! yuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!

Oh I LOVE the outlet mall!!! I'm going to try to make it down your way sometime the next couple of weeks. I'll give you a buzz before I do

You (and ur family) are all welcome to come! If the hubster is here we can fix up a Jordanian meal or something! It would be nice to feel like I have a life even if it is only for a few hours! Come on down!!!!!!!

I think so. It eems like most of us have experienced this in some way where our SOs want to visit their family and whether it is financially feasible...

It's also quite hot here in Houston. Besides a trip to the grocery store, I think I'm just going to stay inside and relax with a good book and some iced coffee. I'm all worn out from the office. Also, I think I might look into starting some type of online business/work. It sure would be nice not to be chained to a 9-5 and have more time for family, plus the flexibility to travel when you want....Sweet!

thats what i need to do! i keep watching episodes of "house hunters international" and it shows all these people working from their laptops all over the world. i want to be them too! if you don't mind, let me know what you find out.

Pay a visit to Champion Computers there in Houston. I have no clue where it is exactly but thats where my husband works and I'm sure he'd enjoy meeting new ppl.

As soon as my house sells, I'll be on my way there. I'm still looking forward to a VJ family luncheon or something!

I agree. There was a couple of threads locked and then they disappeared too. I guess so since one talked about the husband of a VJer not being happy and moving on.

it all depends on the request of the OP and TOS.

If threads aren't just closed, but also removed, it makes it harder to keep track for the "VJ Locked Thread Champs" board record. I'm missing a lot by not posting much anymore.
