Good to know that I use most of my words correctly!

Not much to say here today. I'm not in a very good mood and the day just seems to have pulled out all stops to tap dance on my nerves. I'm feeling very down lately. I'm trying to put together a website to go with a group I created at the end of last year and I want it to be like a club sort of thing with activities for people and such like, but I can't seem to find the right graphics to use for it. And, since I can't find any I like, I want to draw my own graphics for it, but I've got no inspiration! Haven't had for the last few months.

I know it's silly, but I just can't stop crying today. Sorry for being so down. Maybe I'll be cheerier tomorrow.

Hi Folks!

Sorry its been so long since my last post! We had to send our laptop off to be repaired due to some accidental damage (I had the laptop in my lap and the puppy decided she wanted to be in my lap, so she jumped up and damaged the computer). Anyway, its back now and, not perfect, but physically better (the spacebar is still not working correctly, which makes typing annoying).

So, I got a response back from Channel 5, but it didn't really say much. Here it is:


Dear Lynn

Thank you for your recent e-mail regarding The Most Outrageous TV Moments Ever.

We have logged your comments in the Viewer Enquiries Report, which is circulated throughout the company. Also, your complaint will be noted in the quarterly report to our regulator. Commercial television is regulated in the UK by Ofcom (the Office of Communications).

Thank you for your interest in Five.

In other news.....

The US Embassy approved my I-130 Petition for Rich to apply for a visa to the States on the 10th of February. Since we only sent the paperwork off on the 28th of January and had it registered as filed on the 2nd of February, I thought this was extremely quick and I'm very pleased.

Today we've received the actual paperwork for Rich to check off as he gets the things we need and then we'll send it back to them and await our interview date. We're very excited! It will take a couple of weeks (maybe longer) to get everything together, but we're going to start trying to get it all ready.

Tomorrow is Mother's Day here in England and we're off to my mother-in-law's house. I'm cooking a roast chicken meal for her and we'll be spending the day with her. We've got her both Bridget Jones movies on DVD and a mug with cats on it. Mother's Day in the US isn't until May, so I'll send my mom something then.

I had my hair cut today and blonde highlights put in. I think it looks good. I'll try to take a photo later in the week and post it.

I'm a little worried lately. For the last few months, I've had really bad heartburn and, every once in a while, I'll be in extreme pain in my chest area or upper stomach. A few weeks ago I had to go to the hospital with it and they diagnosed Gastritus. Well, it happened again last night. I was in so much pain I could hardly breathe! It finally passed, but not until I had been sick several times (so much so that I couldn't get any air into my lungs at all). I've got to make an appointment to see the doctor, but I really hate going to the doctor! I'm extremely nervous about it, but as soon as I know something, I'll post here.

Well, that's pretty much it for now! Post again soon!
