pass go.

you know, i've been trying all morning to write an entry about the ridiculously packed fiesta that was my weekend (suffice it to say, it involved my sister and the second double bridge walk in two weeks, as well as a great shindig and some gypsy jazz)...and i've got nothing. so, instead i will treat you to a quick rundown of what's really spinning around my head today:

i sent in my UK passport application on friday. after several long and irritating years spent waiting for all the necessary information, and all the necessary paperwork, i've got the damn thing in the mail. if all goes according to plan, one month from today, i will have in my possession two fully valid passports, one US and one UK (or EU). at the moment, however, i have neither. a fact which is making me inexorably twitchy. not that i'm planning to necessarily need one in the next month, but the fact remains that this is the first time in my natural life i will have been without a passport. and it makes me feel a little...exposed.

ah well. thank goodness we're in the lull between the election and the republican convention. hopefully i can keep my nose clean until then.
