woke up early, spent a bit of time on the phone with my fiancé, then with my mum, and then with a friend in Sydney... by that time it was after one

hehe just a little bit of time on the phone eh?

a little bit with each of them, yeah

[Jeraly 4]

not today; had the laziest day imaginable

woke up early, spent a bit of time on the phone with my fiancé, then with my mum, and then with a friend in Sydney... by that time it was after one

so then I had a long bath - read until the water was getting cool - and now I've been catching up on emails and reading some more

oh, and I've done two loads of washing and eaten some toast

however, the guy from Allied Pickfords comes tomorrow to see what I'm shipping, and I have a few other things to do, so I guess the running around will start soon...

Mmmm sounds absolutely blissful

Am wrapped in my pumpkin blanket that Jeremy bought me in my PJs listening to classical music...

That's really awesome, congrats!

But you know, actually I think a lot of times immigrants are willing to help out their own with jobs & housing. A lot of times people come here and don't know anyone from their own culture and work really hard to make their lives happen here, and they meet others from back home or similar and are just willing to help.

Thanks!

I can't wait to find out our date! I can't wait till we're no longer apart. Facing all the other stuff will be so much easier then.

Oh that is *awesome* And it will be a great place for him to practice English with people who speak his language and make friends as well - that is such good news!! When does he start?

yeaaa, i hope he makes some friends, because he loves to go out, but cant contribute to the conversations that my friends and i are having when we do so

the boss said that he will have one of the albanian employees call tomorrow to explain things to my boy...he said that he should be starting 'dopo domani' (the day after tomorrow)

Congratulations! I'm sooooo not looking forward to getting my EAD and having to work again, I've got far too used to being a lady of leisure.

Tell me about it - I am so looking forward to just chilling out for a bit!!!

[StillThePrettiest 4]

oh, so am I

and I keep adding more and more to my list of 'Things To Do With All That Spare Time' so in the end I'll have no spare time left

[rae_and_scott 1]

Oh man, I'm jealous of all of you!

I want to be able to take time off when Scott first gets here but I also just think about the fact that I'll be supporting us until he gets the EAD, and it freaks me out and makes me feel like I should work all the time.

I want to be a lady of leisure too.

Panic over! Housekeeping found my passport, and Fedex will deliver it in the morning!

So, on with the whole immigration report...

I left home at 6.15am on saturday for my 9.30am flight from Heathrow to JFK with Virgin. My bags were bursting at the seams, but I had weighed them, and was prepared to pay the 50 pounds excess weight charges. However, I wasn't prepared for them to limit the weight on my hand-luggage case to 6 kilos (ridiculous), so I had to use the "just in case" hold-all, and repack everything. No biggie, but it meant I had to rush through security, and was the penultimate person on my flight. It was FULL, but a very nice flight none-the-less. I was seated at the back of the plane, so I was at the back of the immigration queue, and it took 1hr 15 mins to get to the front of the queue. Once I got to the front, I had a five minute conversation with the immigration officer, and he opened my visa packet, then sent me to another officer, who typed information into her computer for about ten minutes, then handed me back my passport with the I-94 stapled inside, and on the back of the I-94, is the red 90 day work authorisation stamp. An hour and a half total. Marty had been waiting for three hours though, as he made it up to JFK quicker than expected. We got into my new car(!) and used my new Tom-Tom to get into New York and find our hotel (Isn't he great...) We had a lovely weekend, then drove down to Baltimore yesterday. We HAD planned to get my social security card today, but I'll have to do that by myself tomorrow now, once I have my passport back! We went looking at plants instead! Let coupled life begin...

I can't even do that - we still don't have a place so I can't plan for decorating or gardening or anything...

Ohh I know it sucks - Jeremy has to take time off in June because they are closing down his workplace for a while but it really sucks it isn't a little later when I am there... I think he is going to come out to England a bit earlier... We have found some uber cheap flights - we just need to find out the info for Daisy before we book and it is sooo frustrating!!!

YAY! So glad they found it!!!
