Man I am having a crazy day. So the court thing I thought mac and I had tomorrow was really today. I got an alarm about it shortly after getting to work and started frantically calling the lawyer to verify which was correct, my home calendar or my work one. No answer from her and no return call. I finally had to just risk it and bailed out of work (at which point the lawyer calls me from her cell wanting to know where I am). I ran home, grabbed mac's official documents, got him out of school, got a car service and got out to Jamaica (as far away in Queens as possible) all in about 50 minutes. Officially I was an hour late, but we still got heard and I have an official US certified adoption decree AND we have legal spelling change and middle name change for mac.
We celebrated with lunch at McD and cupcakes. Now I'm back at work and he's at the cube beside me playing DS. Now I'm on to researching what forms I need for changing the name on his SSC, getting a Cert of Citizenship from Homeland Security, and filing for a US Passport.
I found out today that my passport expired last year, it's going to be much more a pain getting a new one now, isn;t it?
Holy roller coaster msbelle, but congrats!
I feel like I'm molting.
I feel like I'm desiccating, like in that episode of Angel. I apply lip balm and lotion constantly, and am chugging the water. When I lived in Moldova I complained about the dry air and my friend from Colorado complained about the humidity.
eta congrats msbelle!

It shouldn't matter as long as you have the old one to send them. I did that this summer with a passport that was several months past the expiration date, and it was the same process as a non-expired one would have been.
Wow- hooray, msbelle! I am glad the madness all worked out in the end.
A really old expired passport means the process becomes the same as never having had a passoport. But within a certain time frame expired passports are accepted like current ones for renewal.
Hey, a few days or so ago, someone linked to an article about (something like) how people who spend downtime looking at non-work computer sites can be more efficient. Does anyone remember that well enough to Nilly it for me?
It's nott bad msbelle, I just did it
