繁忙的星期六

美联储的利率如果不涨，经济便没有真正复苏。失业率仍然是9.7%，所以房地产市场不会很快上扬。不过现在应该已经渡过经济危机的最低谷了，因为再也不会有那么多例如里曼兄弟公司和AIG之类的大公司破产了。

Biajee现在算是正式失业了，所以全家的生计又落到我一个人肩膀上了。现在沃尔玛总部又贴出很多技术部门的工作，Biajee申请之后被告知不合格，所以我正逼着他改写简历。简历写得不好，连面试都拿不到。他终于同意我的意见了。

阿瑟现在已经会叫阿诺的名字了，但还不会叫爸爸妈妈呢。他觉得爸爸妈妈很好，但是哥哥很酷。昨天早上带阿诺和阿瑟去上体操课，之后阿诺去踢足球，还进了球。我们回家吃了火锅，下午出去给阿诺买了一双新的足球鞋，是“山猫”牌的，他非常喜欢。试鞋的时候，Biajee更喜欢一双耐克的白色足球鞋，我不得不提醒他我们是在给阿诺买鞋，应该尊重阿诺的意见。儿时的可怕记忆充满了我的脑海，想起以前爸爸妈妈带我去挑衣服，买的衣服全都是他们喜欢的，从来没有我真正喜欢的，所以到今天我也不会给自己买衣服。当然另一个原因是，我喜欢的衣服一般都是最贵的，以前的经济状况下根本买不起。

晚饭在山姆俱乐部吃了热狗和比萨饼，回家已经困得睁不开眼，阿瑟醒来了，于是赶快为他吃奶，吃香蕉和小星星饼干，之后全家睡睡。希望今天下午能去看红叶。

Immigration Interview Appointment

I received the immigration interview appointment today. The big date is November 17. I have to be there at 10 am and be prepared to answer all kinds of questions of American history and politics.

There is a CD in my car at the moment so that I could listen to the questions and answers every day to be prepared for this interview. I'll have to give up Chinese citizenship soon. Part of me will be empty forever.

Tomorrow is gymnastics and soccer day. Biajee is still in Colorado. I've had a long and exhausting week. Can't wait for Biajee to get home and shoulder off some of the parenting burdens.

It's been rainy and cold lately. We should go shop for some pants or suits for me. I need pants that go with suits and pitifully I don't even know which brands are nice and where to buy them. I definitely would welcome any advice. The theme for work clothing should be boring and conventional.
