a brief update for the masses

–My job is going well. This is week two, and I gave up one of my days off to earn some ot. yay for extra money.

–I got my W2 in the mail and have already done my taxes. Yay I don’t owe any money!

–My brother (finally) got a wordpress blog. Check out my blogroll to visit his blog–he’s known as Nona the Ninja(I gave him that name. Doesn’t it rock?!?!)

–Heath Ledger died due to an overdose of sleeping pills. Is it sad when I heard this news the first thing I thought of was that there won’t be a ‘Return of the Joker” movie with him in it?

–Wedding news: DJ and photographer booked. Next up: a tasting on Sunday with our potential caterer.

Time for me to get some sleep while my chicken defrosts in my sink. Yup, I’m back to the old no carb lifestyle. Yay for losing weight!

I’ll leave you with the English translation of a chinese keychain we have at work. The pictures are great and the translations on it are absolutely hilarious. Each number goes under a picture. Note: what I’m about to type is NOT a mistake.

“1. Collect Stupids People. 2. Push Cliff. 3. Yay Drowns!”

Birth Certificates and Driver’s Licenses

I received my birth certificate in the mail today. I needed to get one in order to prove that I am who I claim I am so that the MVA would give me a Maryland state driver’s license.

The sad part? I had to pay $48 dollars for it when I could have just driven to Richmond and gotten it for $12, but with the price of gas I actually saved money.

The sadder part? My mother has my original locked in a safety deposit box in Manassas, but I can’t get to it because she has the key and currently lives in England!

I’m going within the week to actually get my MD driver’s license. Then I’ll be an official MD resident.

Wow.

My brother got married, my sister moved into her own place, my parents moved back to England, and I have almost officially moved to Maryland.

Yay for growing up and begining to live my own life.

Oh, and yay for links.
