Having a couple come over for iftar tonight so going to great lengths to cook something special... hirara, moroccan bread, tagine... gotta come up with a dessert too yikes!!! that's where I fail.

In a pinch, I usually make bread pudding, which is always a crowd pleaser!

Sure...it has all of those Moroccany flavors, so it goes well with a Moroccan meal, IMO.

And most importantly, it's super-easy, as desserts go!

sigh~~ The meeting was normal, no announcments. Business as usual. After the meeting they asked me to work 10-3 instead of 1-6pm. My boss left, still no scedule from her. She comes back at 2:30, I'm getting ready to leave and had to muster the courage to come right out and ask. So I say, 'is there a scedule, nod yes or no.'

She SHRUGGED her shoulders. At that point my tears came. She told me not to worry, it is not me. I'm safe. Not quite sure what that means, but at least I'm employed awhile longer.

I work tommorrow 9-4pm...I was verbally told to come Monday on Labor Day ...then I have no flippin clue what's going on.

It is typical to let someone work thru a weekend and/or holiday then let them go. So, I will keep my chin up til then and keep on selling. I have given it to God. If it is gonna happen it will and I will adjust my life accordingly.

Thank you ALL from the bottom of my heart for your well wishes and words of support. You really don't know how much it means to me to see. pass da kleenex.

Thanks for letting us know Jackie. Insha'Allah you will be able to keep your job for as long as you want it.

(F) (F) For you, Jackie. I got a feeling everything is going to work out ok.

For you, Jackie. I got a feeling everything is going to work out ok.

Jackie we're always here for you can you believe how long we've all been talking?? crazy isn't it.

[doodlebugg 10]

I'm glad you're ok for now Jackie. Geez your line of work seems to be really hurting these days. I hope things look up soon! Wish you worked here since I am getting new carpets in the girls' rooms. They want me just to pull the rugs up and leave the hardwood floors but to me a bedroom needs to be cozy with a soft carpet, you know?

My house is a complete mess. There's no way that I can clean it. Every bone in my body hurts. I almost broke my fast today to take some ultram but I kept on and oh boy the pain! I have to think of something to bribe my kids with so they can get r done. My husband's at work, little one's playing her Nancy Drew game (she's obsessed!!! there's notes all over the house with hints, etc.), and the older one is at an end of the summer bonfire down at the beach. Next weekend hubby will be away at Cairo and kids will be with their dad. Whatever will I do with myself? Chinese food (he hates chinese), couple of girly movies, box of kleenex, the possibilities are endless!!! I will miss him tons though. I know I'm going to worry like crazy that some rendition type thing will make him not come home.

Did anyone else have this unfounded fear that something bad would happen to keep their husband from coming back home? I keep thinking of horrible scenarios.

Bridget, I think that fear normal considering the visa process and how crappy it was. You don't want to have to be separated again for any reason.

I had a fabulous day with my bff. Worked a whole hour and a half, had pedis, ate puffy tacos, drank huge margaritas then took a two hour nap. Ahhhh....

Plus, I know you watched that Rendition movie. Made me nervous too, but it was just a movie!
