It's 12:45 am in my neck of the woods; may as well start the daily thread!

Good morning everyone! Why is that on the one day I get to sleep in, I wake up early with no problems. However, on the days I need to get up, I have the hardest time? Well, off to get the morning caffeine and a chocolate chocolate chip muffin. Anyone care to join me for some breakfast? The heat is on and it is nice and warm in the house.

i'll make the omelettes!

I'm having the same problem. Although it might have to do with the 4 hour nap I took yesterday afternoon.

I slept in also, usually up early but this morning the sun was up before me something im not used to. I think that last "cold" prob was our last so hopefully warming from now on. Think i will take my son and his family to get pizza today, sounds like fun.

Morning all!

Sunday

Get Mohammed off to work
Clean house and wash clothes
Buy sugar, cream and dish soap
Pick up Lexy because I promised her we would make pancakes on Sunday.

Maybe we better make pancakes BEFORE the housecleaning. We tend to make a mess in the kitchen. I'm just so unmotivated lately. Limping around for 2 weeks it getting tiring. I feel like canceling the MRI for tommorrow because my foot is a little better.

Hope you all have a great Sunday!

Jackie

Don't cancel... make sure your foot is ok - you are abt to leave the country for 3 weeks!

morning everyone.

Was up until 2am. insomnia sucks.

Woke up at 10 and made nutrigrain waffles and am sippin coffee. Am officially off the prednisone so I won't be as beatchy.

Jen what kind of omlettes??? I love omlettes with cheese and salsa. YUM-O!!!!

Noura I got the belly dancing tape yesterday and tried it out. My kids were mortified and told me NEVER to do that in public. Definitely felt my abs and upper thighs working though!

Jackie you are such a list girl!!! I'm the same way when Im in my organizing mode. Definitely keep the appt........you're going away!!!! You need to fix it before you go!

mubupuh how are things going over there? Has he settled in?

jenn3 (we have so many jens now!) I love 4 hour naps on Saturdays!!!!

geg how did you know it would be sunny today?

brni i hope our cold problem goes away soon too!! my driveway is still one big sheet of ice.

patiently waiting chocolate chocolate chip muffins are my youngest daughter's favorite

Slow and easy is my motto for today. Some food shopping and laundry and that's about it. Going to plan out what mountain we'll ski at this week. Booked a hotel in North Conway and we'll be doing some nice outlet shopping and skiing and tubing. fun fun fun

I'm so psyched that my July Cairo trip is booked too! Nice to have a set thing to look forward to.

geg how did you know it would be sunny today?

I used the power of positive thinking!

Doodle, we go tubing on the rivers here, so I immediately thought "Dang, it's too cold for that!" Have fun on your trips!

Here's what night tubing looks like:

woah that tubing looks sooooooooooooooooooo fun!

omelettes? any kind! i'm an excellent egg-maker. as long as there's cheese in them and they aren't overcooked i love it! salsa is good too. i love anything mexican food. *drool


it sucks having so many jen's. my life story. i always keep meaning to tell people my middle name and go by that from now on but i forget! lol

A sunny sunday indeed Ahmed made his first friend last night, the pizza man! I was tickled pink to hear them jibba-jabbin back in forth in arabic. Turns out pizza man is from palestine

Ahmed is enjoying the amount of space out here, no people or animals in the road. Oh, and the liquor store. I took him to Majestic last night. His eyes were as big as dinner plates. He was like a kid being introduced to Chucky Cheese's for the first time

Today, we're off to Walmart (take that Marjane)!.

I can totally picture him talking to the pizza man! Mohammed also noticed that not many people walked here, seemed to him everyone has a car. He had his 'chucky cheese' moment when we walked into Best Buy and he saw the wall of tv's and computers!

Jackie

GREEN if your power of positive thinking is that good, ill give you a few things to think on. While ago i told Ahmed Rod Stewart and Billy Joel coming back to town, he ask prices of tickets and i got a big WOWWWWWWW i think that is to much, and i wont want to go im sure. The sun is indeed out big here and next week some days going up to 72, maybe spring has sprung (so to speak)

Definitely need the sunglasses these days!! Yesterday I wondered why my eyes hurt so bad and realized we have full sun and it has been overcast so many days in the past few weeks . . .

I have lots to do today to get ready for my trip (suitcases need to be dragged out of the closet and objects get arranged for a first pass, hehe) so I will only be briefly outside. Although I think I need to take a spin in my car just to try out the Zen hooked up thru the car's audio system, Whooooohooooooooooooooo!!!

ROFLMAO! What a cute story! No people or animals in the road . I remember when I was a kid riding the train in Morocco, I would see (and still do!) people and animals walking in the fields and along the roads with nothing around for miles. We're car people, so it always fascinated me as to where they were walking to and from. I know my husband wil be amazed at how little walking we do here.

Always when i mention something im ask if close enough to walk, yes but........

I am loving the stories about the hubbyz experiences when they first come here. Thats a ways away for me, but I'm tickled all the same. They always bring water to my eyes because we were so clse!

Anyway, my sunday consists of washing, cooking, and Im re-doing my micros. Those are tiny braids for those of you who arent familiar with them. Mydaughter and I were up 'til 3 this morning watching Money talks on On Demand, with Chris Tucker. So she is still asleep. I'm not in a breakfast kinda mood, maybe cuz its after 11. I dont know, I might pop a bagel in the toaster or something in a lil bit.

I was also reading about the trips that a few of us are taking soon. I am counting the days. 18, to be exact! I can't wait!

I am so glad today is almost over. It has been an awful day. I hope I can sleep in tomorrow since I am off. CSC needs to keep moving on those approvals. This December filer is ready to move to the next step and get the boy here already!

yeay no work tomorrow!
