About my sock exchange
Yes, I joined it again and I got the cutest socks ever! Thanks Tasha and Beej. I'll be sending yours out in the next couple of days. Sorry for the delay.
Some day off
So today was my day off, and I had planned a relaxing day with Joseph. We had the whole morning to watch a little tv, have breakfast and relax. Then we were going to Katie's basketball game at 2pm and after that to the movies (I was hoping to see "The Passion of Christ"). Then in the evening, a little Oscar, and some home cooking.
Yeah, that was the plan. Out of all that going to Katie's game was the only thing that worked out; except we were 1/2 hour late. The being late part was my fault because after breakfast I decided to do some house cleaning and took a phonecall from a co-worker, which left me rushing to get ready.
After the game, we went to Joseph's house to pick up the two complimentary tickets he had for us to go to the movies, and we found out one of his nephews had already taken them. No movies for us..... on top of that, we found out his mother fell and hurt her back.... ouch.
From there we decided to make our way back to my place at around 4pm. Suffice it to say, we walked in the door at my place at 8pm. Yes, what normally takes one hour, took us 4 tonight. Not only that, the conductor on the last train we were on was giving the wrong directions for shuttle bus transfers for the stations coming to my neighborhood. Crowds of people got off at Queens plaza expecting to catch the shuttle bus to the Astoria train, but there was no shuttle. The busses were waiting at a different station..... MTA screws up once again.
But we're finally home..... Home Sweet Home.

Is it spring yet?
I'm looking forward to spring already. I want to feel the warm air around me, and enjoy beautiful sunny days. I'm sure we'll have another snow storm before spring arrives, but all I can think about is shedding my coat and hat.
Come on spring!!
Come on spring!!

And I'm done
Yes, the deed is done. I am a US Citizen.... finally. I am very excited and proud. Joseph went with me to my swearing in and we went out to lunch afterward. It took a long time, which I didn't expect. My appointment was for 8am and finished at 11:45 am. There were approximately 150 people there that morning, but I felt like I was the most proud and most anxious.
Next.... my passport.
