Middle East and North AfricaBook Suggestions for Learning Moroccan Arabic
I have been planning on getting Arabic for dummies...they have beginner, intermediate and advanced

it also got Hubby's approval...he is not much interested in helping me learn Arabic so I have to take matters into my own hands.

Couldn't ask for better than that.

Well my holiday/extended weekend wasn't so festive.
My grandmother, tho she celebrated Thanksgiving dinner with the family, passed away quietly that evening.
It was a shock as she really was so strong and no physical ailments that we were aware of.
I am happy she spent the last days prior to her death with us at home and enjoying herself.
Some lucky grandchildren got to be with her as well after not seeing her for a long time.

I can only hope I can continue in her footsteps and go as peacefully as she did when my time.

I love you grandmom! heart.gif crying.gif

I have my interview in 13 days!!!! We were really hoping that John can attend the interview with me, but the ticket prices around the holidays time are crazy... So hopefully after my visa is approved, I'm going to quit my job and spend more time with my family..then he comes to me and try with them again and hopefully get an official engagement, 'I know I'm too hopeful, but I just don't want to lose hope yet.', and either way fly back to the states together.. It has been 8 months and 6 days that we haven't seen each other, we miss each other like crazy... I can't wait till we are together already blush.gif



WOW Aya, that is great!!!

I know you are worried about your parents approval and consent but you go with your heart girl.
You have come a long way. What progress!!!
Good Luck with everything, keep us posted.

So happy for you. kicking.gif Hope your plans wrap up real soon.

Yeah old man winter is rearing his head. Been thankful that he has held off for as long as he has.

I was thinking of starting our cookie making this weekend.
After the whirlwind I had this past one all I wanna do is relax and take it easy. Maybe get things in order at home and start with decorating our tree. I think better get some downtime in before the Christmas madness really kicks in.

Have a good one peeps!

Good morning Jeanne!

I didn't oversleep because I don't think I ever woke up! I must have driven to work asleep because I pulled in the parking lot and had one of those how did I even get here moments. Not good when it's an hour commute one way. wacko.gif

We watched Night at the Museum 1 & 2 last night (I had never seen the first one) and I thought they were really cute movies. My son keeps doing that " boom boom firepower" thing that the "Thinker" statue does and he thinks it's the most hilarious thing in the world. He also laughed endlessly at the monkey slapping. laughing.gif

Someone was kicking me all night and didn't think sleep was necessary for Momma. I just wanna go home curl up in my bed and catch some zzz's.

I hope today goes fast for everyone- Friday can't come soon enough!



I had a chance to rent Night at the Museum 2 yesterday.
I wanted to know how it was before I did so.

Good morning to you all!

Is it really Monday already? blink.gif I had to stay under the blankets until the last possible second this morning (Its a chilly 27 degrees F here / -3 C ) which meant rushing around like a crazy person because I was late for work.

I hope that you all had a good weekend. Ours was quiet but good. We watched the movie Four Christmases - I thought it was funny but I felt so uncomfortable/embarrassed at some points for the things they were going through. I guess we've all been there with our families lol

Sunday took us to the Maternity Triage because Mr. Bean decided to stop moving for 2 + days. In my mind I knew things were probably fine but he's been a super active baby thus far and for him to completely stop everything (kicks, rolls, punches, hiccups) for 2 days made me nervous. They checked him out and said he was doing fine; very reactive 160-180 heartbeat (heartbeat going up and down in response to movements) and was probably just going through a growth spurt that had him resting. He must have decided to relax this weekend.

For those of you preparing for interviews this week, I hope they are all huge successes heart.gif



good to hear everything is fine Ash

well hubby and I watched Bruno...my choice

bad one unsure.gif
it was god awful and i have an open mind and funny sense of humor but this time sachen baron cohen took it too far

my point was that i often find myself uncomfortable too with certain suggestive stuff

we are just so out of hand over here and anything and everything out there in the movies...hubby just doesn't like it

even on the disney channel as the child stars start to grow up they have more and more real life situations on the shows and it's hard for hubby to understand what kids are exposed to and that is acceptable to be in the same room
when some of the scenes come up. blush.gif

gotta love him luv.gif

but BRUNO...don't even bother and I loved Borat

Hi MENA!

Hope you had a productive and restful weekend.
Mine was just restful.
Haven't started a lick of shopping.

As you know I lost my grandmother on Thanksgiving. We buried her last Tuesday.
Today I got a call from my sister telling me that my sister in law, pregnant with my brother's child,
committed suicide.
She was only 21 and 4 months pregnant.

Needless to say our family has had a rough week or so.
Please keep my brother and his beloved girlfriend and unborn child in your prayers.

thanks

it was looking rather desolate around here and then I started noticing the bobsie twins have returned.
You know who you are whistling.gif

It is hysterical, hubby and I watched it last night.

I have 2 weeks worth of back to school meetings and I dread it.
It is such a waste of time, mostly just the same old updates they give every year.
Now if we could just skip the general school speil and just meet the teacher I could be in and out.

Charles I think I see Wolverine...I haven't seen any X MEN before but this one looks good.
So I will want to rent that one and you would think I would want to see It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia since I live there but I haven't even seen one episode of it.
