Ah, Mox just 'gets' me. I'm surprised you let the movie reference slip by without comment.....

Focus on the 'spoon' reference......

[Jeraly 4]

Yay! Thanks guys! I feel so much better now - just wedding stress now but that is a nicer kinda stress - a few nerves but nothing too mind-blowing just yet!!

I've been typing up my lovely Dublin Experience which has taken forever and within an hour of Jeremy leaving for work I got two calls - one from his boss wanting to chat and one from our (now ex) wedding planner who is now a guest at our wedding. She had some sad news to say that Susan, our current planner and should-be minister on Monday might not be able to be our minister. Her mom had a massive heart attack and is on life-support that is being switched off this weekend. It's all fine from the wedding point of view but it is sad for her. If she does make it on Monday I think I will cry so hard and give her the biggest hug ever!!

Ok - I should really make some favour boxes now or go sun myself by the pool as it is gorgeous outside!!

Keerk! I know - 300 miles seems a stone's throw away! You going to come over after work? We were going to head up Sizzler and get dinner when Jeremy gets back from work Already been to Denny's for breakfast this morning as well - is kinda like a tradition now Although I have finally found out what French toast *really* is. And now I want to eat it all the time...

Will defo be posting pics as soon as I get my paws on any - will depend on where we grab them from as they prolly won't be taken on our cameras - I think dad is going to send his over so my gran can see them back in England though so maybe I can get hold of them then? Will sort something out and when I get home I will post all of my piccies on facebook then link to them so you can see Hawaii too Yippee!! Ok - I am going to see if I can make these favour boxes outside... though if I do I am not sure how I will get them back upstairs!! Time to go investigate!!

I refer to the non-existent spoon reasonably regularly... for a while, on another forum, I had it as my sig line

[a-jeanne 2]

Hi Aly. How is the time difference treating you? I keep forgetting that you're on USA time now. Good to hear the happiness in your voice!

[KGSodie 0]

I also use the non-existent spoon reference regularly too - with my students. It never fails to get a laugh!

A 600 mile round trip to the Sizzler! Mox leads the cushy life, that's for certain!

[Jeraly 4]

*didn't read Kevin's post properly and realised that when she did she actually *got* the reference *

Yeah - we'll save you a seat Keerk

Audrey - time difference isn't too bad right now - was up for about 28 hours or so when I was travelling so went to bed about midnight PST which is like 8am back home... Woke at about 5am PST and have been awake since then (so has Jeremy *and* he has work, poor guy!) and have just started feeling a little tired. Not sleepy mind, just that kinda exhaustion where your body knows something isn't quite right and wants to go to bed but your mind feels (reasonably!) awake!!!

Quite weird to think that it is after midnight at home now... means my kitty has been taken to her holiday home already... she is going to hate me... I am just glad it wasn't me taking her there and picking her up!!! I do miss her already At least she will be moving with me!! And I know the cattery is a nice place cause we went and checked it out... cost me over $200 so it should be nice

[Jeraly 4]

Sorry Keerrrk!! Will you not come out to play if I can't perfect my accent?! How quick did you say you could drive 300 miles?! I might have time to practice... Then again, depending on how fast you drive I might not How busy *is* the I-5 at this time of day anyway?!

[bakofoil 27]

Congratulations Tucson Chick. The start of your new life - how exciting! Was the house move a surprise?

[KGSodie 0]

TucsonChick, FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! I'll bet your groom was worried about the house surprise though. Those sort of surprises can go either way, but it's very cool to hear that you love it! Can't wait to read the POE report too! HURRAY!!!!!!!!

Tucson chick that is such good news, Congratulations!!

so many of us making the move now. I'm starting to sort stuff out today. Blitzing my wardrobe with the help of my mammy and my bro's fiancee.

jetlag here i come. sunday morning 6am and i can't sleep.

anyway, here is my POE-short-report.

the flight frankfurt-jfk: drunken russian man sitting next to me, getting more drunk and trying to touch me. flight attendents moved me to another seat.

arrival in jfk: really fast immigration people there. only had to wait for about 20 minutes. the officer at the regular booth opened the envilope, stapeled everything, but a few stamps on things and sent me to the crappiest, darkest and dirtiest office there is. the chick there gave me $hit that i don't have an engagement ring, and that eric holding a doctorate degree would mean that i would at least have to get 1.5carat or more. whatever. she was new in the office and didn't know about the EAD-stamp, but her collegues (at this time discussion wheather they got they diarrhea at the restaurant or the bar they went to). told her about it and the stamp looks like a bad fake attempt of some illegal person trying to get employment.

it took me about 10minutes to clear immigration. total.

luggage carts cost $3 at JFK, i was too savy for that, and the security people felt sorry for me and my 4 bags and gave me one for free. changing terminals was ok (i had to recheck my luggage as i was continuing with a different airline and ticket) and i spent the rest of my layover drinking coffee and eating muffins.

and now i'm here

the house is gorgous! he asked me before he moved if i thought it was a good idea, but what can i tell from so far away? so i told him that i knew that he had great taste, because he was with me

i will only need a bit more storage in the closet und to rearrange a few things here and there, and to clean the windows (we amazing huge windows with a magnificent view over the mountains, but the windows haven't been cleaned in years...) in short: a female touch to the house

other than that settling in is a hard thing for me at the moment. i already lived here for more than a year, but i never felt that lost before. today we will go hiking, and sunshine and physical exercise usually help against girly-depressions.

half way through my wardrobe blitz...as in I've taken everything out and done a basic yes or no sort. Now as it all goes back in I need to be more ruthless and get rid of I reckon at laest half of my yes pile.
