Passport Problems.

I returned from Shannon, Ireland today at about 10:45am. I still have not taken a nap. I have no idea how I am still awake, but Ireland was beautiful (as always) and we were lucky enough to get a BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAY!! (This is quite unheard of in Ireland, especially in Shannon)

So getting down to business, I have a quick little story about our arrival into Ireland.. In Ireland you are required to fill out a little information card for Passport Control if you do not have a passport from a country in the European Union (aka an EU Passport). We went ahead and passed out these forms on the plane just before landing because everyone tends to misplace them during the flight.

So picture me walking backwards, down the aisle, holding up little white cards asking if anyone needs a form. Most people who are from Ireland or the EU know that they do not need one, however everyone else cough*americans*cough don't really know what these forms are unless they fly to Ireland a lot.

I stop at row 38 or so and see a group of obvious Americans with a puzzled look on their face.

.Scene.
me: Do you need a landing card?
americans: umm..what is that?
me: you need this card for immigration if you do not have a EU passport
americans: oh
me: do you need the card?
americans: i dont know..
me: do you have an EU passport?
americans: i dont know ::major puzzled looks::
me: do you have a Eurpoean passport?
americans: uhh..what makes your passport an EU or European?
Seriously?!
me: where is your passport from?
americans: ::removes passport from their cover:: ..uhh..well..its a united states passport
me: okay, so you do not have a European passport and need to fill out one of these forms.
::hands out forms to each person::
americans: oh yeah! we aren't European..hahahaa!

Okay people, it wasnt really funny that you dont understand what I am saying..you just wasted 15 mins of my time. lol.

Anyways, I have been awake too long on too little sleep..I must go to bed! Have a good Cinco De Mayo this weekend!! (I'll be in Detroit, MI...anyone else gonna be there? Ha!)

Umm..what?

Sooo..blogger went and updated on me and now I have absolutely NO IDEA how to work on my HTML design.

Sorry this suddenly looks like a hacking/scrapbook project gone wrong. I haven't quite figured out how to fix my background so you can actually read this..

In other news...my BFFAEAEAE..(you get the idea) just found out she passed the Texas Bar Exam!! :-)

Congratulations Jessie!!!
