This is not a good title. I have this feeling that it's gonna go downhill fast.

I'm thankful that I'm going on vacation and not gonna think about work at all. Let them suffer without me. LOL

Upcoming vacations and ice cream! Definately things to be thankful for.

What else...I'm thankful they finished repaving my street so I can park in my driveway again.

I'm thankful that my family is starting to come around. I'm getting a ride to the airport by my mother. I thought either someone has been praying hard for me or hell just froze over. LOL

*wrings hands together planning Rajaa's initiation..hehehe* A slumber party virgin. blush.gif We started having these parties a few years ago to help keep the one waiting company. While the SO was in interviewing....we would gather in the chat room to help keep them company,,,no one should wait alone for that call to come. We don't usually make it til the interview time (but we have on occaision).

We share recipes, tell jokes....nagi shoots arrows faster than anyone I ever met! Sara and Gabi will probably have a pineapple juice squirting contest. Amal will be firing up the argilla and I think Noura will be starting belly dance lessons at 9pm sharp. Sheik Yabooti and his cousin, Ibn Fartin might come too!

Well, everyone is different. (some more different than others...lol..remember at wahrania's party..she went wandering wracking havoc on VJ)

Stock up on Bebsi, pineapples and Cheezypoofs. Be prepared for anything.

And what happens in a MENA party STAYS in a MENA party..just kidding everyone and their uncle is invited ! smile.gif The more the merrier! This one will be a little strange..our guest of honor won't be here..but Aimee...girl when you are trying to get into the embassy, we will be here cheering you and Badr on! Cuz that's how we roll in MENA good.gif

I have had to put my lap top right next to my bed with the Athen on Loud so I will wake up.... this week is no prayer week (you know what I mean) which means next week will be very difficult to get back on track. Insha'allah the 3 am AThen on Extra loud will work.
palilover
wow it's tuesday and there are quite a few of you up:)

I am thankful that in 2 days I am going to leave for Palestine to see my husband. I won't think about work or dirt bag landlord.....just me and habibi.....together again!

I am thankful that his interview is soon and I hope that we get visa soon!

Mostly I am thankful for my husband who has stuck by me through this entire process, been with me through my many ups and downs, been able to work wth me on various things as a team to get things done right, and I'm just thankful for him period.

I'm thankful for a job even throughj its ups and downs

2 days left. OMG I just realized tomorrow night is wednesday. Tomorrow night I am going to pull an all nighter because I will probbly leave Boston between 5-6AM!! Wow, sounds too good to be true:)

I would suggest a slumber party tomorrow night for both me and Badr's Love since we both leave on thurs. But I'll be at work I think when you guys are up:( I won't get home til 1AM:(

I am thankful to have a husband that loves me unconditionally, no matter what silliness or havoc I have created, a beautiful daughter who is wise beyond her years, and a family that loves me unconditionally. And chocolate. I am thankful that I have chocolate.

I am thankful that tomorrow I go to Jackson Hole, WY for my brothers destination wedding on July 5th. It includes rafting, fireworks, BBQ, over several days and seeing my brother get married. I think there is some other fun stuff but I can't remember it all right now.

I'm just glad to get out and do some traveling.

After that Mom wants to go to Salt Lake for some serious shopping at the Neman Marcus outlet, and then on to the Oregon Coast. My first trip there ever after living here for nine years! Then I'm going to Sun Valley around July 17th. So yeah...that is what I am thankful, the month of July is traveling!

I'M THANKFUL FOR MY MOTHER, IT SEEMS THE ONLY SUPPORT IN MY BI-POLAR LIFE. MY HUSBAND WHOM I LOVE DEARLY JUST DON'T GET IT. HE DON'T UNDERSTAND. AND PROBABLY NEVER WILL BE MY SUPPORT.WHAT A SHAME THAT YOU CAN'T COUNT ON THE ONE YOU ARE SUPPOSSED TO IN TIME OF NEED. WHICH SEEMS TO BE EVERY DAY LATELY. MY HEALTH SEEMS TO BE GOIN DOWN HILL LATELY. I'M NOW WEARING TWO BRACES ON MY WRISTS. THE DOC SAYS I EITHER HAVE CARPEL TUNNEL OR I HAVE A PINCHED NERVE SOMEWHERE BECAUSE OF ALL THE PAIN I HAVE IN MY BACK AND SHOULDERS AND ARMS. AND A FRIEND OF MINE SAYS SHE NOTICED THIS SINCE FROM MY SECOND FALL THIS WINTER. I'M A MEDICAL MESS. BUT HEY I'M LUCKY TO BE ALIVE I GUESS. SO I SHOULD BE THANKFUL FOR THAT. MY HUSBAND TRIES TELLING ME THAT. AT LEAST I AM ALIVE.
ITS GONNA BE A LOVELY DAY HERE. SO AFTER WORK THIS MORNING, I'M GONNA STRIP DOWN TO THE LEAST POSSIBLE CLOTHES AND LAY ON MY DECK IN THE SUN FOR A BIT, MAYBE I WILL FEEL BET TER. HAVE A GOOD DAY EVERYONE!!




AIMME, HAVE FUN IN MOROCCO, AND I PRAY FOR BADRS- I MISS MY MOTHER-IN-LAW, WE ARE JUST WAITING TO SEE WHEN SHE WILL BE COMING HERE ON A TOURIST VISA.
Aymsgirl
First off Aimee, have a safe trip and I will be praying for you and Badr. Palilover have a safe trip also and I do hope this is almost over for you and your love.

Rajaa, congrats on the hubby's work visa to Spain. I pray he has a safe trip and enjoys his work there.

I am very thankful for my husband and children. My husband is an extremely patient man and I will never be able to thank him enough for the sacrifices he has made to be with myself and our son. He is always there when I need him whether it is for a laugh to brighten my day or a shoulder to cry on when things are going wrong. My children are God's blessings! They have been through a lot in their little lives and I am so thankful that they have taken to their new step father. I am thankful for our health and I pray that good health continues. I am thankful for our home because we still have a place to lay our heads at night. I am also thankful for my job because without it I have no idea where in the world I would be financially or emotionally because I am blessed to work with wonderful people. I am also thankful for my parents whom to me are heroes. They are raising my sister's two very young children because of the way she chose her life and without my parents the girls wouldn't have stability.

God bless everybody and have a great Tuesday!
charles!
