Happy Tuesday MENA!

I hope you all have a great day.

Our Halloween Bash pics are up on fb so my fb buds check if you haven't checked yet...LMAO. My hubby is nuts...we had a blast!

This week will be a busy week at work...happy it will go fast and not so happy that its going to be so darn busy AGAIN! I was just told later this evening that we will need to recruit for over 30 contract positions for 6/9 month assignments and we need it done by early December... Sure, I have nothing else to do...

Hoping all you sickies out there are feeling a bit better!!!

Annie your Halloween party sounds like you guys tore the roof down...lol you should post some pics here too so us peeps can see too It's always fun to have a huge party but if you're the host, the day after is UGHHHHHHHHHH! I think the last party i had at home, somebody left a shoe on my roof

I have to be in work an hour early today but the good thing is i will be leaving an hour early

Well, my home is half done, i still don't have a kitchen, hopefully today I will have one again. On the bright side of this, I cannot cook so that means, we all are eating out and i get to be waited on for once!

Good morning! Happy Tuesday to all!

Dawned on me yesterday that we received our visa 3 yrs ago!! Where did the time go!

Another fabulous day here....temps to reach 90. Evenings are so beautiful.

Loved your pics Annie!! You guys really had one heck of a good time!!

Maureen, know you will be happy when the painting is complete....let them wait on you
and you enjoy yourself!!

Have a great day everyone. Get well, take care and stay safe!!

I would love to have 90 deg, i dont think we will even reach to 50 today

G'morning!

Annie, H is such a goofball! You guys looked great and it seems a good time was had by all. Hope all the sickies are feeling better.

It's going to be another gorgeous day here - starting off cool (mid 50's) and ending up warmer (low-mid 70's). Working most of the day, then Rak'ing tonight!

Good*yawn* Morning.....where's that whole pot of coffee??

Morning MENA...still not getting used to the time change, but it's better than my experience with the time change last year! Last year I was flying back from Jordan...I was sitting in the Amman airport waiting for my 11:00 pm flight when they announced that we would have to wait another hour to board because of the time change....then fly home where it is 7 hours behind Jordanian time. I was getting up at 3:00 am wide awake for like a month!

I hope you all have a great Tuesday.

Morning- Caffiene (bebsi), where's the caffiene?

Pleassse dont mention Pepsi!!! lol I commited to giving up pop and Its been 5 days without my Diet Pepsi. Oh man I can taste it now I think the Pepsi is harder than the cigarettes. Today is day 5 of both and Im pretty sure I miss Diet Pepsi more,

Im home, again, for the 7th day with Zaid. He hasnt had a fever for about 15 hours now. Its really hard for me to believe his H1N1 was positive based on the stories Ive heard about how bad itis . He is happy and aside from the fever he had on the weekend and a runny nose he is happy as can be. He is eating lots of chicken noodle soup and tons of diluted juice. Hubby and I have worked out a schedule that will allow me to work 4-8 everyday so I can catch up on some things. 7

Hey Everybody....

Here is a website with a listing of lots of Jordanian radio stations that you can listen to the radio live, just like they are hearing in Jordan (real time). Just in case anyone is interested. You can also go to the top of the page and click on different parts of the world to find stations in other countries. I listen to the Arabic stations at my desk at work so I can try to learn more Arabic by listening. Enjoy.

Just stopping by to say good morning all!! have a great day!

Good morning everyone.

Good morning Mena!

Kelly, I had no idea he was positive. It is good that he is dealing with it like a little trooper.

Take care everybody and have a blessed day!

Good Morning Peeps

Annie your costume party pictures were cute.

Hope everyone is doing well and the ones who are sick get better soon

morning everyone. I haven't been here for a loooooong time. Nice to see more new faces.

Annie is a hoot to say the least.
Terrie: Hope you got your caffiene so you can deal with all those phone calls.
Kelly: Good work on getting rid of bad habits.
Tamara: Nice to see you here. How is your friend that was in ICU?

Not much new here. We are going back to Morocco shortly. Omar leaves in 3 weeks, right after my sister's wedding, and I go in mid-Jan. Then we plan to fly back together.

Hope you all have a great Tuesday.

Awesome news Maggie!

I got up this morning took a shower, got dressed, packed my bag for school, walked to school, got a breakfast burrito in the Commons, sat down to eat it, looked around and noticed nobody was here, looked at my clock and realized I was an hour and a half early. There I was thinking I was on schedule. LOL! Daylight savings messed me up.

Looking forward to harvesting my crops on Farmville this afternoon.

Mornin ladies

Kelly...I didn't know that Zaid got a positive on H1N1...my BFF's daughter had it a couple of weeks ago.
I hope he gets better and without any further symptoms


I will upload my Halloween pix on facebook hopefully by the end of today.
I never have any luck doing it here..they are always too big!

Jeanne...I would LOVE LOVE LOVE that 90 degree weather!!!!
Getting very brisk here at night and using the heater more little by little..not too bad yet thank god.
Jeanne tomorrow will be one year ago that my hubby got his visa in hand

So Eid is the day after Thanksgiving?
Is there any informative link I can use to see what that is all about exactly.
If I recall it correctly I was in Morocco 2006-2007 for our wedding and experience that Eid.


The only 2 things I noticed about daylight savings time is that the time seems longer...it goes more slow
AND it is dark when I leave work.

I am looking forward to that Scrooge movie coming out with Jim Carey...my god if that is anything like THE GRINCH that will be a HOOT!

Amanda....I used to have one arabic radio station I could access LIVE online too. I forget the name.
I will check out the link you sent...however, if you can find one...I am looking for a Moroccan one. THNX

Already starting to figure out the Thanksgiving plan. It is one of my favorite holidays for cooking.

I forgot that next weekend we are having company. First time since hubby is coming.
We are entertaining my very good friend, who is hubby's co sponsor and her husband, with a Moroccan dinner.
Hubby is going to cook!!! and he can...he's got some receipes from his mother.
But I will be scrambling just to make sure our tiny apt is in order for this

Hey Maggie good to see you...we plan to go to Maroc in May 2010..however, it may end up being just hubby .

Sandrila...I just navigated on that same website...I don't know if these work but you can try.

Well don't know where I was when I wrote that we got his visa 3 yrs ago...should have been
2 yrs ago!! Was just to darn early for my mind to work! Remember Jeanne...married 3 yrs,
visa 2 yrs. So many things to remember

Hi everyone.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAEMIAN!!

Happy Tuesday to everyone!!!!

you can listen to Medi1 live on the internet

Hey Maureen!

I will send you a few in a PM...they are hysterical to say the least. My hubby was an "Arab Dude" and tho we reminded him that he IS an Arab Dude...it was still so hysterical seeing him dressed up. I don't want to offend anyone here w/ a few of the characters! Jesus, Two "Arab Dudes" and a some crazy "Victor's Angels (yes Victor not Victoria)" showed up ...haha! One of our neighbors that showed up said our party had a very biblical theme.

gonna check those pix now Annie

...this week is goin slowwww for me. I guess I am just wanting the days to fly~~~come on December!

Jackie

hey everyone,

I need help---we have been busy lately and finally filed for lifting conditions yesterday (with only 30 days left to file)....Anyways, I was just curious if anyody can tell me what I am supposed to do next, or what will happen next? I would really appreciate it so much!! Thanks

Kristy

Hey ladies,

I Havent been around much lately, I hope all is well in your homes and with your families. It has been a long day and I just kinda missed my MENA family.

Any big news ??

Annie the babies are so big.
JJ how much longer till the hubster is here ? Its getting close isnt it ?

Ahmed has been driving lately... I kind of thought, hey, he has an Egyptian license, he drove around a lot on the airport, he's a smart guy, how hard could it be? Umm. I was mistaken. It's a white-knuckle ride every time. I had been hoping he'd be able to help me drive the kiddo to school and stuff, but at this point, soooo not happening. Also, I fear for my car's transmission and alignment.

My head is banging. I just don't know what to do anymore about these headaches. Back to webpages.

haha I'm the same way with my hubby-I don't know how he managed to pass the driving test quite frankly lol. He's getting better though...

I completely agree that the days seem to be moving so slow especially this week because our interview is in 5 days and I getting really nervous and not knowing what to expect. About the driving, I completely understand because I am worried about my husband coming here and driving around because people in Egypt drive so crazy and there are really no rules when it comes to driving or signs or anything. I think anyone that has been to Egypt can sympathisize. I usually keep my eyes closed most of the time when im riding a car in Egypt.....lol.
