It's one thing to be a gunslinger. It's another to wander into town, leave nothing but a trail of those who'd try your skill and take the town's gratitude and cash with you. Hero or villan? It's all in how you look at it and whose side you're on. Cigar in your teeth and colt on your hip, you are ready to step into the hazy desert horizon. You'll do just fine.

my blood type--hmmm

Your Inner Blood Type is AB!

Your personality is hard to define - you're very unconventional. And even if your personality could be defined, it would be completely different next week! Outgoing and shy, sensitive and thoughtless, you tend to have a very split personality. This makes you unpredictable. You can be a total angel - and a total devil. You are most compatible with: everyone! Famous Type AB's: Jackie Chan and Marilyn Monroe

What's Your Inner Blood Type?

Happy Bunny Day

or is that hoppy bunny day? :) My daughter, mom and i colored eggs today and glittered them---ugh glitter EVERYWHERE!! It was cute, even though i didn't realize that they were for me at first, my daughter and my mom got me purple tulips--how sweet! :)

other than that i am tired and grumpy and have been all this weekend--maybe because i got another e-mail from the lawyers that they still need one more paper. I am tired of the "just one more thing" I want to stab my sharpened pencil into the just one more thing!!

Also the search for a job continues--i have sent three emails off to the local newspaper to see if they are hiring bundle carriers, nada back from them. Not even a thanks but no thanks. so i plod along... Anyone got a job that i can do?

Tornadoes Suck!

On Thursday April 13, Iowa City was hit by at least one tornado. Where was I? Huddled in the back room of a gas station right across the interstate from where it touched down.

Oddly enough i wasn't scared, i was strangely calm, even though it has been a reoccuring childhood nightmare to be chased down by a tornado. I knew when the tornado landed by the pressure in my ears, and i had to pop them like you would in an airplane, and then i felt faint, hot then cold and then was fine. I wanted to see the thing but my daughter and mother were in the backroom too and i felt that i should stay with them.

We had just gone out to eat at my favorite chinese buffet (mmmm they have a mongolian grill and sushi there mmmm) and it began to rain, hard. But i wanted that one last plate of shrimp and sushi. By the time that we left, it was still pouring but manageable. Mom asked for me to turn on the radio to weather. there were tornados being sighted in the county north and west of us. I wasn't too concerned and kept on driving. we got to the highway that in 12 miles would bring us to our town. It began to lightly hail. Then heavier hail, and all i could think of was "Oh Sh*t! My windows!" My van has a massive expanse of a windshield and bu-ku expensive to replace. So we turned around and went to a gas station with an awning. I just wanted to wait out the hail in the van, but after Mom went inside and came back to the van and highly insisted that we all go in.

Oh and the warning sirens were going off all this time as well.

there was a lull in the rain and weather after the tornado, and Mom went out to the van and my side door window got sucked out and shattered. So Mom duct taped a black plastic bag on the window and we waited for a little while more to see what the storms would do. nothing really happened and i just wanted to get home. So the 3 other families that were from our town decided that they were going to follow us back. Choo-Choo! I got elected to be the leader in the train that went home. oh well, we made it.

My brother was in the center of town where it was most hard hit. He and his friends made it to a basement and were safe. but the area around them was a disaster and later officially declaired one. He stayed up until 3 am helping people get tree limbs off of their cars and other debris. Mom's bonneville got another broken window and dents on top of the broken back window that happened about a month ago.

beautiful day

but really crabby mood, compounded by reading about the nastiness that uninformed idiots spew. I have a headache from it and yet again today, i feel the stupidity seep through my monitor, and lower my IQ one point just by reading ignorance.

After a restful nap, i need to go read through my text books and regain my IQ point. Another bit of solace is that i recently found out that a person that i thought would harm their son, is planning on leaving him "au naturale"

Poor lonely blog

O poor blog, i hath been neglecting thee. How fare thee?

So, i go in fits and spirts with this blog it seems. I guess it follows my bi-polar. Today is a fairly nice day out, i feel fairly good. My daughter and i went out for a nice walk and enjoyed smelling the first mown grass smell wafting in the breeze. I love that smell, it is a green fresh smell.

As far as M and the immigration papers go, we are waiting for my mom's birth certificate and then we have to sign the forms in front of a notary public. Then it is wooooosh off to the lawyers again and then they send them to USCIS. average wait time is 59 days. *sigh* perhaps by july he can move here *keeping fingers crossed*

We are both feeling the strain from this, as we both have noticed that we are very very careful with our words to each other. We don't want to argue and try and keep to mundane conversations. It is kind of like eating unflavored oatmeal all the time, it fills up the belly, but bores the tastebuds. I can't wait until we can talk super nachos again with some spicy picante sauce on it.

I wonder if all couples going through immigration go through this? Is it the US gov't's maniacal way to weed out strong couples from the weak? And i read that there is bill in congress that wants to make illegal immigrants felons! Umm this country was founded by "illegal" immgrants as not all natives welcomed the new land takers with open arms. I say open the boarders, yeah there will be an influx to begin with but it will even itself out. Don't these gov't officials understand how expensive it is already to immigrate, but then to make these poor people felons. Ugh! insanity! I cannot wait until this regime is over and perhaps we americans can elect someone that can speak in more than 3 word phrases.

well, i am going outside again and my daughter and i are going to go for another walk---perhaps to the park

more hoops

it seems that there is yet more information that the lawyers need. ugh why can't we be done with all this so M and i can get married?!?!?! this has my cosposor asking if they want to know her bra size and when she first was weaned from her mother. I understand. The gov't wants to know everything. Dubya, if you have been wire tapping me, i am sure that you would freakin' know by now that M and I are mushballs in love love love love love!

So i am depressed and i am going to go take a nap now

And now it is in the lawyers' hands

The last bit of paperwork went out to the lawyers yesterday, hopefully that is the last of the paperwork that they need from M and I. Now we hurry up and wait.

In the mean time, Mom and i continue to work on the dress that she found. I am super pleased at what she found, but it needs my personal touch, and sleeves.

*sigh*
