Weekend Stuff

Hello Everyone:

Well the first weekend with mom back passed without incident. Mostly, she slept, still tired from the journey. Me, I just did my own thing. Unfortunately, the Brit BF had to take a rain check on our Skype date. All of his work commitments caught to him and he needed his sleep. No worries. Speaking of work, I decided not to sit around and wait for City Planning to finally get around to me and sent out a resume for a writing job. The work is helping prospective college students with their admissions essay. It's part time but the pay is good. I came across another opening for free lance editing work. I can do that. Work from home and still have time to do my own thing.  It's all good. I finally got my passport yesterday in the mail. That didn't take long, given all the time and money I had to put in to get it. Not mention an anal retentive postal clerk who finally accepted my application and fee. Despite my best efforts, the picture looks like an arrest photo. At least the got my name, date of birth, and other biographical information right. Woohoo, now I can go ahead with plans to visit the Brit BF this summer. Mom's not crazy about the idea, primarily because he's Afro-English and not Jewish. So far, I have no reason not think his intentions are less than honorable.  Yes, we're going to have sex. Let's just get that out of the way. For me it's more important to see him on his home turf. How he is with his friends and family. See if I even like them. They know what I look like and I am worried about their reactions. However, I can't control how someone is going to react to me. I can only control myself. I just hope we be civil to each other because, who knows, they may be my in-laws one day. Ugh, there's a thought-having in-laws. At least they would be 5,000 miles away not around the block. I'm getting ahead of things. Right now, I have other things to concern myself with and the possibility of in-laws is not one of them.
