Good morning. I hope everyone is having a fun-filled and relaxing weekend.

I haven't been on as much. I am so filled with joy for those who finally saw the conclusion to their journeys this week that it kind of brought all my frustration with still waiting to the top and I had to deal with it.

Last night I rented some movies, got some junk food (haha... like my butt needs this), ran a hot bath with french lavender essential oil and lit some candles... well I just had a "Jean" night. I feel a bit better today, just shakey and drained. My extra hours at work may have to wait until tomorrow. Or better still, they can just help me deal with the overload on Monday.

Anyway, I apologize for being such a wet blanket this week. I hope the next week brings renewed hope for those of us waiting and big wonderful surprises for everyone.

I'm glad you are feeling better Same thing happened to me when I used to see people that filed IR-1's after us have their honeys home and we were still fighting. I'm sorry my joy brought you saddness ... but I know one day you will be right up there with me.

As far as me, things have been CRAZY !! This whole weekend we have been finalizing thigs for the wedding, picking out furniture (we wont buy till Ali gets here so he can have a say too), and whole lotta cleaning !

It is 7 days, 9 hours, 55 minutes and 26 seconds until Saturday, May 27, 2006 at 6:30:00 PM (Los Angeles time)

Don't you DARE say you're sorry! I am really so so happy for you both! I wouldn't dream of tainting it with apologies. Enjoy your life! You both deserve it.

Oh my....I just drug myself out of bed and it's a little after noon! I don't know if it's my allergies, stress or a combo of both, but I am fighting off ANOTHER migrane today I'm getting a little tired of these.

Anyone doing anything fun today?

Amy,

I hope your headache goes away for good. I've had a few more dizzy spells today, but not as bad as yesterday. I watched Memoirs of a Geisha this afternoon. I thought it was a beautiful movie. I didn't do any of the things I planned today accept clean a little. I just have no umph. Maybe tomorrow.

packing packing packinggg...

Hey guys,
It's been a pretty slow day for me here. I just ate a spoonfull of frostng oops so I guess I shouldn't eat too much for the rest of the day. It was all worth it. Have a great trip Icey and thanks for offering to take Hicham's stuff over there that was really nice. I hope everyone is feeling better and that this week is going to be a good one.

I thought about renting a few movies, but I never get to watch them start to finish with the kiddos running around. I watched part of the Notebook last night. Thought I would drown in my tears! Gosh that is such a sweet movie.

Funnist thing happened to me today. I was sleeping and woke up to a very obnoxious noise. I look out my back window and what do I see???? I freakin camel! YES a camel! To give you an idea how my place is set up, the back of my house is open to a field that has a home on it. MY house is considered "country." BUT the homes on the other side of the street....that is considered "city limits." Comes in handy on the 4th of July....I can have the fireworks and the neighbors can't! So now about 20 feet from my bedroom window there is a camel. Thought I had died and gone back to Egypt! I can only wish! Talked to Khallid and he got a good laugh out of this. I said "Honey....you will feel even more at home here now!" The thing seems pretty friendly though, the kids have gone up to the fence and in leans over and they pet it's nose. I told them to watch out....they spit! So....there you go girls.....my funny news of the day.
