Dang, I missed you old bats! Charles, you too!

I'm glad everyone is doing well!

I need to update my siggy with new twinker pics!

Sara, I just snorted out loud...lol. I read my damn post. That's what waking up at 3am for my east coast grandma does to a girl...lol.

I meant to say I miss you guys! Here's to new and old friends! I feel like someone cut half my thought off...

Beth,

I agree with Sarah. Either way but keeping the paper trail. I didnt think Cairo was tough...I recall Morocco being more difficult. Wish you guys the best of luck. I love Cairo in May!! We did the K1 and were done in about 6-7 months. In that time I did visit twice but I had also been there long periods of time before filing.

Off topic...that pic creeps me out...

So good to "see" everyone still around. It's been forever since I've been on here.

@kelz, I had an amazing time with my family and I need to get back into being active on fb and here more.

@wom, omg! So great to hear from you!! I hope all is well.

Hi guys!

It's been a long time. Just wanted to stop by and say Hi! to all and I miss you guys to old friends!!!

Hugs,

Annie <3

Taking my timeout now.

Congrats!! He's sooo handsome. God bless him!

D'oh! SMH!

I can't believe that its a female since both profiles write exactly the same. I think its actually the same guy. The grammar itself is frustrating and hard to understand.

Anyway, a time out sounds good.

Happy Friday MENA

It's a sushi weekend for me! Today: Lunch: Sushi Dinner: Sushi Sunday: Dinner: Sushi

All dates with friends... Can you tell I'm excited about Sushi!

We are trying a new place tonight for dinner its called Saketini's. They have a reverse happy hour after 9pm (its a bday party for a friend) and sushi and drinks are super cheap...I think I will be in trouble.

Also Saturday night we are throwing a surprise bday party for our neighbor. So I'm excited about that too....so many bday parties this wknd.

Hope everyone has a great wknd and that Monday stays far away!

Ahmed, you are a breath of fresh air. Just sayin'.

If he is cheating, lying and calling her names he and the marriage doesn't deserve a second chance. What kind of life would Sandra have if her husband came here and continued cheating, lying, calling her names or possibly worse? She's doing the right thing.

Yes. I think we all noticed.

Stash...u always make me LOL!

Happy Thursday MENA

Congrats Tamara!!! I hope you and Adam enjoy your night! Sounds YUUMMYY!

I did notice a trend on opinion of the men in this thread...

Happy Tuesday MENA

I'm with Olivia....Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Sandra,

You're an amazing and strong woman. Do what's best for you and your son. There are too many people who think that those type of behaviors will correct themselves once a partner is here. It's very untrue and many of us have seen the fall out after the partners arrive so standing up to it now is your safest route.

You are very sweet person and you have many friends here who support your decision. I believe getting the divorce in the US would be the best avenue to follow.

Best of luck and I'm sure we will catch up soon.

Tuesday...Groan...

I'm having a "bite me" day at work. Ughhh.

Is it possible to be 2010 and I just had a senior manager ask me if its possible to request more girls than boys from the agency we use? Ummm really?!?

I can't see any of these from work However, I wanted to share the words of my all time favorite Led Zep song! There are not a lot of lyrics...but beautiful lyrics none the less. I love this song. Just the guitar alone makes the song worth listening to. I especially like the pause before he says/sings "And I do." That just seems to add to the song even more.

If someone else can add the actual video too...that would rock! Here are the words:

Tangerine

Measuring a summer's day

I only finds it slips away to gray

The hours, they bring me pain

Tangerine, Tangerine

Living reflection of a dream

I was her love, she was my queen

And now a thousand years between

Thinking how it used to be

Does she still remember times like these?

To think of us again?

And I do

Tangerine, Tangerine

Living reflection of a dream

I was her love, she was my queen

And now a thousand years between

I remember teething. Thank god with Nour we never knew. We would being giving her a bath and a new tooth would just appear...she was never cranky. Now Zain on the other hand...he started popping teeth in so quickly that he was soooo clingy. But they were done with teething before I blinked so it was painless for us...again, thank god! LOL

The baby got her second tooth this weekend. She is being super cute today. I still don't want to be at work though.

Happy Monday MENA

My weekend was pretty boring...didn't do much but hang around the house. Still didn't want to get up for work this morning! LOL

Hope everyone feels better soon!!

Work.........

Ooooooooh, coffee. I'm actually on my way to Starbucks in about 10 mins. I'll get you an iced raspberry mocha.

Awww Staashi! You remembered!

I think I had too much coffee or the fact that its Friday and I can leave this hell hole for a couple of days!

You're crazy today! hehe

That could be - but most times I've seen that these relationships seem to start up in Yahoo, MSN or Facebook. Although one time, Joe Scarborough of MSNBC, said the biggest importers of MENA men are fat american women. Makes ya think.

Stashhh...damn you. Stop picking on me!

In all seriousness though, even though I wasn't thru the CASA embassy we went the Cairo which has been known for high fraud/denials, etc.

I believe part of the reason we were approved so quickly was because we had known each other a while, I was not an overnight revert "lucky strike to lucky hijab", my husbands is fluent in English and we didn't over do the proof just enough to provide our daily communication and life. I do feel that at times people can go overboard and these types of knee jerk reactions (converting or moving overseas right after meeting someone) can cause doubt in a CO's mind.

Then again, as someone pointed out...how many Americans do you know that have met a bf or gf and moved in with them quickly or changed their lifestyle for a new beau? It happens. Hmmm...now I've confused myself more!
