Google Maps Streetview in England
I’ve been taking a look at some places I’ve been to and some I haven’t been to in England. Very cool. Makes me want to take a trip.
Morning conversations
On the way to be dropped off this morning, TLK said, “Mom? What are your plans for my life?” I snickered a bit, thinking, “She doesn’t know she’ll be in charge of her life entirely, eventually.”
My response: “What are MY plans? What are YOUR plans for your life?”
Where she started talking about [...]
Greencard Application Approved
Ian’s greencard application (AOS) has been approved! According to the USCIS website, it looks like his card has already been mailed. Can’t wait! I didn’t think I would cry when the Adjustment of Status was approved, but it was a welcome relief. “Yes he’s here, and yes, he can [...]
The Week in Review
So, the airline understood our frustration with their service, and decided to give us vouchers for our next air travel. They were generous, and we appreciated it.
Ian did some amazing cooking this week, as always, and helped me with the red wine demi glace I made for our bison/mozarella burgers this week. The chicken and [...]
Detroit and Airline Delays
So, Thursday, we arrived bright and early at the Omaha airport, only to find out that our flight was delayed. We assumed it was due to the weather. The airline agent tried to get us on a later connecting flight from Detroit to Virginia, since we’d miss our originally scheduled connecting flight, but to no [...]

Maybe it’s a combination of both.
I’m trying positive comments in my head. They’re comments about how lucky I am to have [...]
Beware of Chase Bank
Beware of Chase Bank who decides a year later, that they’ve made a bad decision about the amount of credit they have extended to you. They will check your credit report and ARBITRARILY (although they say they have a reason), at least in my case, half your credit card limit. Plus, you get this lovely notice:
Please [...]
This Week in Review
This week, Ian was able to get his state ID. This means that he has his first official piece of US identification and no longer has to rely on his passport and his about-to-expire landing card for ID.
We managed to locate the USCIS office downtown to show up on time for Ian’s biometrics appointment. It [...]
“This is my step-dad, Ian…”
“He is psycho.” She says this in an, “I’m so glad he’s so laid back and funny” sort of way to her friend, Gracie, who is eating with us.
We visited TLK at school to have lunch with her. Lunch included a “hamburger”, chocolate milk, blueberries, iceberg lettuce salad, raw broccoli and orange wedges. School lunch… [...]
