Hotel for Dogs

January 18th, 2009

Today our LB and us went to see the new movie “Hotel for Dogs.” It was a good movie, one of those feel good types of movies, with a few heart pulls along the way. We all love dogs, and our LB loves to spend time with out dogs when he visits us at our home, so the movie was a natural choice. Our LB really liked the movie, and it is one that I would definately recommend for the not-quite-teen crowds.

Before the movie we ate a CPK – a first for our LB. Food as usual was really good, and I tried the new Pesto Chicken Pizza, which is a definately must-have if you like pesto.

Bye Bye ‘Bu Bu’

November 9th, 2008

Well today marks another day in history. My beloved Malibu (affectionately called the “bu bu” or the “Bosley-mobile”) has a new owner. I’m going to keep the site up for a few days, just in case there is a need to go and visit and say your final goodbyes.

Oh, did I mention I got a new toy?

After I got news about my visa, I convinced myself (and Chris) that a new car would be in order. And here it is.

Visa Update

November 5th, 2008

I’ve been bad in not keeping this blog up to date. I tend to twitter more than anything else now, but have avoided making my tweets a part of the blog (sometimes there are too many).

Anyway, as I mentioned in my last blog post about my visa, there was some good news, and finally on September 26 (two months later), I received notice that I was approved, and could start working with BBBS again. Yay!

The visa is good for two years, and also removes the concerns I had over travelling back to Australia on my student visa. I’ve received all the paperwork from my attorney, and should be right to get my new visa in my passport when I head back down under next year.

During the time that I was in limbo, I returned to UNT to continue some studies. Unfortunately when I found out that I had to get into UNT quickly, it was the Friday before classes started, so there was not a lot of classes to choose from. I did get a couple that I ended up really enjoying, and I think when I return to continue my graduate studies I will take these classes again. Of course, when news arrived about my visa, I dropped all my classes like a hot potato.

I’ve been back working now for just over a month, and things have settled down, and life is returning to normal (actually probably more than normal).
