Ace in my space! The presentation I put together on one of our malls in New Mexico for the company execs was a success...apparently I put together nice visuals

Went and got some winter clothes for work from H&M yesterday. A new sweater and shirt to go underneath, a new button down shirt with a vest/waistcoat to go over it, a pair of skinny legged black pants, and a 60's-ish blue shirt and a black and white striped boat neck shirt.

Maven, I told my contact at Glendale Galleria you thought the place was "bitchin'" lol. He started laughing and asked if you were sure it was GG or if you meant the Americana across the street.

Congrats, ginger! And I know your visuals are nice -- I remember that sparkly blingy vision you put together just the other week.

Yep, it was the GG -- it is HUGE. I didn't have a lot of time to wander around but I can envision another trip in the near future to ascertain its continuing bitchin-ness.

My contact at Glendale is... *drumroll*

Mario Lopez LMAO!!! The poor guy's honest to god name.

Yes I do have a certain "creative" flair....especially with blingees

once I accidentally parked in the americana instead of the galleria, and I couldn't believe that place, it was the blingiest shopping centre I've ever seen. I got out of there quick smart, and back to the galleria.

Pointy...I love your Tina Fey as Sarah Palin pic...makes me laugh every time I see it!

The way the properties are is very weird...Americana almost sits in GG's lap. Huge lawsuit, we lost and well the company was hardly happy about it! But yeah Mario Lopez was telling me that it is pretty cool over there...however the average Joe can't really afford to shop there.

LMAO...always a good story. At the last Chicago Brit meetup I think I repeated that story about 10 times...everytime some new people would join us I was made to tell the story again LOL.

I think I'll go dig up the thread I posted it on as I'm too lazy to type it out again LOL.

Speaking of good things with Nicky...he finally got his EAD in the mail yesterday! It's like the floodgates have opened...he came down on the train with me this morning to go get his state ID, then he is going to the social security office to get his new card that doesn't say "not authorized for employment" typed on it. Then he has an appointment with Bank of America to tell them to #### off. And then he's going to apply for some jobs.

Oh, and almost as great Depeche Mode is announcing their tour dates next Monday

No problemo - of course, I will prolly forget and some kindly person will take pity and create a new thread for me

Aww Maven - it's only a little while and you will be busy enough that it will fly by Have a safe journey!!! And appreciate the autumn weather up north!! It's 90 here at the moment!!

Where did everyone go? This thread has been quiet for a while!

[elmcitymaven 9,711]

I'm here! In CT and it is cold, yay! I'm wearing tights and a sweater. Well, I'm also wearing a skirt for modesty's sake, but you know what I mean.

[VisaJourneyLady 33]

I've been (drumroll please) getting in to the union!!! I have 2 more things to do, but it looks like I'm in!! The letter from my last employer has done the trick!!

Can't wait to get my union card, and start working towards their amazing health plan. It takes about 6 months to kick in once you start working, but it's a really great plan from what I understand (I know nothing about how health insurance works).

Maven - glad to hear you are keeping warm A skirt is a sensible option although I would prefer jeans... of course I can no longer fit into my fatty jeans let alone my other ones so day 3 of diet is commencing.

Now I am trying to figure out if I want to leave the house in a $hit state today and just clean tomorrow as originally planned or get it all done today and have to do it again in a few days time to keep on top of it. I was also going to go swimming 16 minutes ago but I am procrastinating...

Pointy - great news on the union!! I don't really understand insurance either - all I know is that Jeremy gets full medical/dental/optical through work and I get the same which is good... not sure about the deductible but I think it isn't too bad either

Ok - I really need to get my rapidly expanding behind into gear and go swimming then leave the cleaning til tomorrow. With all the calories I burn cleaning, if I don't feel like swimming tomorrow I think I can be forgiven
