...breakfast is a hot egg, beans, bread, and cheese

...unrefrigerated eggs from the supermarket no longer scare you

...the black flies covering the produce you know you will be eating no longer goons you

...when you look at him sporting around the house in his galabya (which he would never wear outside) and think he's the hottest thing you've ever laid eyes on

...when you really want something on the honey-do list done, so you whip out the *hand on hip* "There can be no Insh'Allah for this!" tactic

I've got a million of these...

When you get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and feel naked without slippers on in the tile bathroom

Lemon finds its way into your daily meals

You forget that not everybody has a flower watering can behind their toilet

Pita bread replaces regular bread in your household

You get excited every time you see something written in arabic

You start saying things like assalamo alaykom, alhamdulillah, and ensha'allah----and you haven't converted to Islam

You've started considering moving to Houston or another largely arabic populated area because the "life is so much better there"

One of your new favorite music artists is hisham abbas, amr diab, or fairouz

You find yourself using 2, 3, 6, and 7 to replace english letters in english words

when you read words with apostrophes, you try to make that phlegm noise "ehhhhhghhh"

ohh so many ..sooo many more lol and I wouldn't change it for the world

when you tell him he is full of it.......and 5 minutes later he asks full of what?

when he tells you he has the worst cold he never had

when he tells you yes he knows about using a slow cooker, you just turn down the fire

when he tells you, but i trusted the translator to do good, when you are about to send the papers to nvc and you find a error he would have found HAD HE CHECKED THE PAPERS BEFORE HE SENT LIKE YOU ASK HIM TO

When every dag blasted time you go to the bathroom sink and it looks like a puppy has had a bath in it from him doing wudu and sticking his feet in it and not taking the darn towel and wiping it up!!!

Sorry, had to get it out.

You eat pizza with your hands and everyone is staring at you.....then BAM you see

other Egyptians beginning to eat their pizza with their hands!! I told Wael that Egypt

is the only place in the world where they eat most things with their hands and use a

knife and fork to eat pizza!! Go figure!
