thanks, peeps! I've been saying "any day now" for almost two weeks, hahaha.

amikety, you're still doing good - don't be depressed!! it will happen in no time!

mr. & mrs parker, hello - and i'm glad you're feeling better. :)

lunas! haven't seen you around much! it must be rough having uprooted so suddenly.

and ms. m, i hope you feel better soon. did you get DM on ecas???
I'm not really upset! Not in the least. I'm lucky enough to get to live with my hubby and after I graduate, I will qualify for NAFTA at the least. In the big picture of Immigration and the hot mess that is CIC, I don't have much to complain about. Graduation is scheduled for Dec 2013. My advisor already signed me up so I better perform to his standards! :D

Now, just to have a nice, long, warm summer.........

Oh more good news - my friend's husband wants to see if his company will hire me as a staffing manager after I graduate :eek:

And one day soon it will be any day now for the Booms!! Yes. We had an interview the beginning of May and PPR last week. So I guess like you we are waiting for the passport now!

No, they closed the patio for reasons unknown to us. We suspect they were just being lazy. Dinner was okay. We used our gift card from the realtor. It wasn't our type of restaurant and my food wasn't good - it was cooked right and all, just didn't like it. Hubby liked his food. He really liked the birthday pie I made him (pineapple and coconut, it was so gross but he loves it).

We had dinner at his sister's tonight, which is like a three ring circus because she has 3 kids. Ugh! But my nephew is going to give me his graphing calculator to use over the summer..... woo hoo. Must remember how to use a graphing calculator next!

It's time to start petitioning for our Coffee Social subdivision? Looks like I'm going to be the only one NOT landed very soon! :D :D :D: :D ( :'( )
I'm ready for the coffee social subdivision. Ready to move in!!!

Amikety please pardon my ignorance (but I'll feel even more ignorant if i don't ask), but what does this mean? 2.5x at work?

Our window got mauled last night by my cat. There was an intruder at my window... the gray kitty next door! My cat sings......meanly.
I love pets and coincidentally many of my friends are cat lovers/owners. I'd like to have one but hubby doesn't want one... :/

2.5x at work means that if you make $10/hour at work, 2.5x you'll make $25/hour at work. This usually happens when people work on weekends or over time. =]

I didn't really want one either because I'm allergic. You can see how that went... as I let her sleep on my lap.
