OptomisticGirl Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Yay! I don’t know if it will be our first dance song or not, but it makes me all melty. We didn't do a first dance at the wedding but ouf song is 'Storybook Love' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hers Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 We danced to "can't get enough of your love" by Barry white (first time ever dancing together anyway--we were terrible bc it's a faster-paced song). But "our" song is "I wanna be 500 miles" by the proclaimers bc it's funny. Can't wait to hear the news that OG bought her ticket!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 ^ I wish we could buy it like now but we can't. Grrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntress0527 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 You might have already stated this but roughly how much is the ticket going to cost? I can imagine it's probably a bundle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 As of prices right now for a round trip it's $1,200. I'm sure it will go up when we buy it because we will be buying it during the summer and closer to the leave date but unless we luck out, I doubt it will be below $1,000.

annie24 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I go to link removed or link removed and sign up for their alerts. so when the prices drop, you get a notification and you can buy. you're buying 1 way though. that might help with the price!

OptomisticGirl Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Well def sign up for notifications but the earliest we can buy it is en of Aug - if we apply at the beginning of Aug and tey process the visa fast. One way is actually more expensive (for some confounded reason). Right now a round trip is $1,200 vs one way at $1,500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie24 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 wacky!!! that happens sometimes. well, then yeah, you're better off getting a round trip and ripping up the second ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 My mom just texted me that she may have found somewhere for me to sell my first wedding dress - awesome! Little bit of extra cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 I went to the gym after work - felt SO good to make that choice and stick with it. I did the treadmill for 30 mins and was pretty sweaty afterward. I can tell just from the last few days of watching how much and how often I eat and cutting down to 1 can soda a day the difference. I know it's probably water weight or something but the 'feeling' is def. keeping me going. As a bored eater it's hard to just eat and then go 'okay, nothing else!' Like right now. I ate when I got home and I'm sat here thinking 'I need more' but I'm not hungry, at all. I eyed a can of Spaghetti O's on the kitchen table and instead of giving in promised myself I would have them for lunch at work tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 I feel like a bull in a china shop when I'm trying to give advise to others who have been molested, I really do. I don't know why. I don't know if it's the way I healed or the way I dealt with it but it makes me very nervous to help others in that situation because there is a certain finese you have to have and since I healed in a blunt way I don't really have that 'finese'. but I know this so I literally feel like this huge bull tip toeing around a china shop trying not to break something (or make something worse) but at the same time desperatly wanting them to see the light. It's a struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie24 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 everyone deals with things in their own way. you found a way that worked for you. maybe it will help someone else too, maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 ^ true, but it could also hurt them. It's one of those things sometimes direct bluntness isn't always the best tact... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejigsup Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I'm like you, OG, pretty blunt. When I have to get through something I take the shortest, most direct, course of action. This doesn't work for everyone, but we can only tell people what worked for us and leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 I just almost knocked myself out. I was picking up linen and we pick it up from these bins where you lift the lid and have to reach down and get it. Well apparently I didn't push the lid far enough back because as I was reaching into the bin the lid came down and caught me right above my nose - hard. image removed I was on the main hall of the hospital so I couldn't cuss but it knocked me a for a loop for a few minutes. I was stood there holding my head when one of the CNAs walked in, assessed the situation, and dead pan said "are you trying to be the next Harry Potter?" I have a headache now and it's throbbing.

renaissancewoman101 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Ouch, you also look like you hit your forehead. Do you have any tylenol or advil that you can take, to ease the throbbing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Yeah what happened was thE lid came down and scraped my forehead and then hit my nose, which is an actual cut. I too about 4 Ibuprofin. Sucks because Im going to thE gym after work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptomisticGirl Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Has a roaring headache from getting attacked... ugh!!!! Work was hard. Went fast but hard (that's what she said, ha!). L and I had one of those really nice chats over facetime on my lunch break. We were just joking around with each other and taking the pee (pretty sure the other P word isn't allowed on ENA) out of each other. I love that we can do that and know the other is joking. I am a complete football widow though, lol. he was like, "I want you to sleep in tomorrow, don't get up before 11." I said, "No, I'll get up at 10." to which my husband said, "You can't, Man United are playing at 10." Lord. I haven't even survived a true World Cup with him yet either. I mean we were together the last one but with the distance and time difference it wasn't that bad, I imagine being IN the house with him is going to bring it to a whole other level. I'm going to get my taxes done tomorrow morning (joy). I'm lending my mom $300 to get my brother's senior supplies and the rest is going toward my plane ticket. L and I are going to sit down over the weekend and make sure we are still on track with savings and such for the big move. I'm going to call the vet tomorrow as well and see if I can make Jasper a appointment for my next day off (which is Thurs I believe) to get him microchipped and get that out of the way. I also need them to weigh him to see where he is weight wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 I wonder how the tax guy is going to have me file, I assume married filing separatly. I have a feeling this is going to be a headache.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphim Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I buy a tax programme and do my own. It is so much easier than having to pay someone. I don't want to have to hand some of our return to someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Thankfully my tax guy only charges $20. I have used Turbox Tax but with the whole being married to a foreign citizen thing, it's just going to be less of a headache to file with him.

Seraphim Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Yeah back in 1990 my husband's tax guy charged like $80. I was like what??? And then when they started charging like $150 I was nuh huh I can do this myself for $40. I do other people's as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 I used Turbo Tax for a few years but I've let my mom's tax guy do mine the last 3 years since he's only charging me that. I dread to do taxes while I'm in England... ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
