Middle East and North AfricaCaturday!?!?!
Afternoon! It's 104 outside so we are trying not to move! :lol: Thank goodness there's only 4% humidity.

Watched the games today. Exciting game between Cameroon and Denmark. It's funny to see the
people in the stands bundled up coz it's winter there and we are sitting here in 104 weather!

Wonderful07, my husband also was a huge fan of Maradona! He does believe he was a much better
player than coach.

Hope everyone is having a great Saturday! Stay cool!

Good morning and happy Sunday! Happy Father's Day!

Wael is busy looking into the application process and testing
for the GMAT. He has one year left for his degree in Economics
and wants to be ready. He's still on a course of applying to the
top 10 universities. What motivation!!!! I am so proud of him. :D

Have a great day everyone!

Good afternoon and happy Wednesday!

What a fantastic game!!! Congratulations USA!!!

No rain, storms or clouds here. Don't remember the last time I saw a cloud!

Wael had called his dad on Father's Day and told his dad what day it was here in the states. His dad
told him the states had it RIGHT and had a special day for Father's! He loved knowing that father's had
their own very special day.

Hey Annie!! Your little ones need to have their own reality show! They are just awesome babies!!
I remember them as little tiny sweeties and now they are going to the movies!!! I agree with Wonderful,
ahhhhh to be a kid again.:luv:

Don't know whether or not to be excited....it's only gonna be 104 instead of 108! :lol:

Have a great day everyone!

Middle East and North AfricaThursday - Chicago Arabesque
Afternoon everyone! It's 108 outside! Toooooo hot.

Wish we had an Arab American Festival here. Our Arab population is low with mostly students attending
the University of Arizona. Only a handful of Egyptians.

Sorry to hear about your daughter Wonderful and the drive-by. What a horrible experience. I don't blame you
for wanting to move. Just take care and be careful.

Have a wonderful afternoon/evening. I'm gonna find something cool to drink with lots of ice. Our cold
water is lukewarm!! Come on winter where at least the water is cooler!! :yes:

Middle East and North AfricaTuesday.. Hate it
Good morning! Can't believe we have RAIN in the forecast!!! Of course there are no clouds and blue
skies now, so when the drops begin to fall I will believe it! We treasure rain! Should get to 104 today.

We have no plans for the 4th. It's just too hot to watch the fireworks. We're talking 90 at 9 pm!
Will just have to watch all the celebrations from home!

Batta, sorry to hear about your wedding plans. I hope everything will be fine for the both
of you. Also hope you can get the SS card issue taken care of. Things will work out!!

Tomorrow I have the honor of appearing in court to dispute a ticket that I received thru
the mail for a parking ticket that wasn't mine. I just can't wait. All I can think of is "Speeders"!!! :lol:
The fun never ends!

Well I hope everyone will have a wonderful day with lots of fun!

Middle East and North AfricaBLACK FRIDAY!
Good morning! Good luck to all you brave souls who shop on Black Friday!!

Thanksgiving was wonderful. Dinner was awesome! Watched some of the parade and
some football. Weather was beautiful...had to open the patio door!

I love the excitement of the holidays! Music is always beautiful no matter where it's
played! Don't you find yourself singing along!!

Sure hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. We do have many blessings.

If you go out today be careful, and stay safe.

Good morning! I think everyone still had too much turkey!! Sleeping in huh!

We braved Black Friday! Had no plans to shop but out the door we went into
the crowded malls. Was alot of fun! We shopped for about 4 hrs....Got some
excellent things for Christmas.

We had a very warm day also, but thank goodness the stores had their AC on!!

Don't know about anyone else, but we are still full from Thanksgiving dinner.
Don't think we will have leftovers till next weekend.

Here's hoping your long weekend is filled with fun and happiness. Have a great
day and if you're going out, have fun and stay safe.

Good morning! Happy Tuesday to all!

Don't know when we will be able to go to Egypt. With his studying there is no time.
I miss Egypt and do hope we will go in the next couple years.

I'm lovin' my new laptop! It's my 3rd one! They don't last as long as the PC's. When I
first started on the internet I had an Apple. I loved it. Then switched to a PC and took
some getting used to. Everything seemed to be geared for left-handed peeps!! yes.gif

Can't believe it's already December. Where oh where did this year go!

Maggie, know you will have a great time on your trip!

Maureen, happy the puppy found it's home!

Hey Annie!! It's getting pretty cool here at night!

laura, i really do hope that this is not something that your husband will do to you. i am now officially scared for you. if how his father treats his mother is the only way of life he knows. children most likely follow by the example placed in their homes when they become adults. be careful. if he hasn't shown you his true colors there, then beware of coming to america, when his past is the only way of life he has known. he may have just been on his "best" behavior.


My concern isn't for his best behavior - my concern is when he suffers from the tremendous culture shock, depression, homesickness, and utter despondency that will take over his life when he does not have any friends or family around, he will get ugly and if his ugly side knows violence, then sister, watch out! good.gif

Very good! I do wish her luck, but deep down I think she is extremely at risk. Bothers me.

I guess I was very lucky as Wael adapted so well to the states. He will be here 2 yrs Dec 23. He enjoys the lifestyle here. I know he misses his family and friends, but with working and taking 18 units in college he doesn't have time for many other things right now.


He has traveled before, so flying wasn't difficult. He's an adventurer like me!

Wishing you and your hubby the best of luck here! I know you are thrilled about coming back
stateside!

Hey Amanda, sounds like your weekend is booked. Nothing on my agenda this weekend, maybe just some more x-mas shopping. I am hoping that i can get it all done this weekend including the wrapping. I am tired of being the last minute wrapper. I don't know why i do this to myself every year but I just hate the wrapping.

Hi Maureen...I don't really like the wrapping either. smile.gif I got my daughter a pink guitar for Christmas this year and I can't wait to see how she reacts. smile.gif I still have to come up with something to get my sister.....

We are planning to go to the Outback for dinner this weekend. Printed out their free coupon

I love free things!!! kicking.gif
