Sunday

[peezey 0]

Hi everyone! I have a day off finally, but not really doing anything fun since Maj has to work. I'm going to attempt to bring some order to my house, which has become a disaster area. But I'm also reading the paper and this new book I got by Diana Abu-Jaber called Crescent. It's really good, I wonder if the Lebanese ladies here have read it?

I just got this, too, but haven't started it since I have a dozen others I'm in the middle of. I'm looking forward to reading it, though.

Happy Sunday

Hubby is home sick with a cold. We are sitting on the couch watch the Bears game. I'm trying to catch Jenn in the 'top 20 posters' today. Hope everybody has a good day.

Happy BD henia!

Well my morning started off good. We had guests this morning. My husband's cousin and his son from kansas came to visit. We had a wonderful arab breakfast of pita bread, labneh, makdous, olives, tomatoes, onions, hummus, ful, olive oil and zataar and scrambled eggs with arab tea. We finally got dish network, so now my husband is watching the arab channels. The rest are taking a nap!!

Happy Sunday to all!

You're not doing so well!

Had to run out for cold medicine and kleenex. That slowed me down a bit, but I am back now.

Sharon!! I'm so excited to see you post! How is NY treating you guys? Enjoy your day off - you work too hard!!!!

Well, we actually miss Boston a lot! Maj especially misses that cafe in the North End.

We live in the Bronx, so not that great of a neighborhood. It's always exciting to go into the city though. I usually get one day off a week, and occasionally it's the same day Maj has off But I'm halfway through my intern year now; starting in July my life will be a lot better. I just finished my OB rotation, and I loved it! Delivering babies is the most amazing thing ever.

Wow look who finally showed up ! Been a long time since we've seen you on the board -- I'm glad to see you post again.

Diana Abu-Jaber is an amazing writer. She's had to fight against a lot of pressure and even censorship in the U.S. publishing world -- she's been pressured to change her words, to change her titles, to rewrite her characters, to remove references to Israel and war crimes against the Palestinians, and on and on. She's a fighter, though -- she's not about to be shut up.

I haven't read this latest book yet -- but I will soon.

We're iced in and my daughter started running 103 temp. I've been giving her Tylenol & Advil which has brought the temp down to about 100. Just sucks because I really don't think there is anyway I can get out of my driveway to take her to a doctor because road crews have not cleared our street yet. It's supposed to freeze rain more tomorrow too! I need to move someplace warm.

Not having a hurricane party today, are you??

I swear you are going to get some of this wet stuff . . . . maybe not the freezing variety though. Slowly but surely it is moving thru the metroplex (Dallas/Ft. Worth for those that don't know).

I am sitting here eating some chili I made . . .and writing that review, lol!!

Have a nice day!!

Happy Birthday Henia!!!!!!

Hope your daughter's fever breaks soon aymerlu.

um...mind started Friday toooooooooooooooooooooo. rofl.

I blew up at my kids this morning and while I type this they are cleaning their rooms with a vengeance. Woke up to find the sink FULL of dirty dishes and the kitchen looked like a big bag of oil and flower threw up in it. Nice way to wake up on a Sunday morning right???? NOT.

I want to get out of this house as soon as their done and go to a craft shop to get materials for the scrap books I'm making for my trip pictures. I love doing that stuff.

I want to move somewhere warmer too. I've been looking at the money magazine top places to live but there are bloggers that have nasty things to say about just about each town that is cited so I dunno. Not that I can up and move but I'm just thinking ahead since boston is so expensive and Usama may want to go where the weather is warmer and employment is better. Who knows. Hope everyone is having fun today.

Maybe you should avoid Texas . . . LOL, I'll only say that if you like "warmer" because it is definitely not "WARMER" today . . . now 9 months out of the year, it is much balmier than it is today (FREEZING) and might even remind Usama of Egypt . . . HOT summers (don't need to go to Egypt for the heat).

Employment is generally good in this area, no state income tax (high sales taxes though), real estate is cheaper than in the north (it is all relative). Could be worse places to live . . . I always think about moving because I hate the HEAT, but I am not exactly a snow-bunny type!
