the sort of day that not even sickness can wreck

so, i've come down with a hell of a cold. been pumping advil cold and sinus and halls and chicken noodle soup into my body to keep it at bay, but it's not staying at bay ;P

but i'm still having a really excellent day!

my green card came in the mail today! suuuurrrpriiise! (literally)
7 months earlier than expected, with no interview and no medical needed (and no warning it was coming lol- the letter that says that it's coming actually came later than the card itself did, lol).

i'm now a permanent resident of the united states :o

which feels... i dunno yet ;P i'm glad i can be with my husband and.. y'know.. get a job here now but i miss canada every day. even on crazy snowstorm days.

the card itself is hardcore. they had to give me a special envelope to put it in to prevent it from communicating wirelessly with other things. yeah. it also has my picture, signature, fingerprints, name, birthdate and resident number visibly embedded in its magnetic strip. pretty hardcore piece of plastic if you ask me, lol.

so i've stalled on woodland enchantress again. i'll just admit it early. i haven't been in the mood to stitch it. oh well... the new years resolution does state that i have to finish it sometime this year. so.... i'm shooting for november =D i'm gunna start working on my square for the sprite stitch charity quilt in a few days. i was going to do more than 1 square but i have so much going on later in the year (probably after april) that i had better limit what i commit myself to. i take on too much and then stall everything.

i'm doing a scene from kirby's adventure for the nes =D one of my favorite games when i was a little girl^^

book wise, i'm still getting through the mistborn series (amazing). i'm on the last book about halfway through, i just can't find the time to read. this afternoon i got a chapter in before i fell asleep and dropped my ebook on my face, lol. so, my main problem here is that every time i find some time to read... i fall asleep reading XD oh well!

if anyone is on shelfari, feel free to add me as a friend^^

bye for now everyone^^ sorry no pics this time. i'll be sure to take a WIP pic or 2 of my kirby piece for you^^
