It happens from time to time. You are way cooler than me in lots of ways. Thank goodness I’m a little quirky, because I’d be so boring if I wasn’t. But back to the point, you are not uncool. And I know lots of people who agree with me. It just so happens that the US calls them resumes because when “we” chose the word “we” were still mad at England. Now I realize that the term “CV” is so ingrained in me that I forgot that not everyone uses that word. I wonder how often I now say “actually”, “bit” or “bits”, “sort”, “fancy”, and “jolly good go”. Yeah, I actually used that last one in a phone interview today. Wow. That’s weird. I’m 0.01% British.

I get it…….now. Thanks sis.
Even though you are the little sister, I learn so very much from you. I have not arrived to “cool” status, nor do I intend to. However, I have moved away from TOTALLY ignorant in many areas from the myriad of experiences and facts that you continue to share. It also helps that you insist on writing with an intelligent and colorful vocabulary in your love of language……..you are stretching me, challenging me to write with more creativity!
Hope you are enjoying your Saturday, in your new home, with your creative and affectionate husband.
Love you both, Donna

I kept looking to see if I just missed it. I know it has something to do with getting a job……like a resume………but I can’t figure it out……
Canned Veal……no – that can’t be it
cat vomit —–ewww yuck! absolutely not!
covered veil…….well, some people stretch the truth on a resume’!
cookie veteran….now i can’t imagine how that would help
concealed visa – no, it’s not a secret that you’re from the US
OK – i give up!
