I treated myself to the Godiva store and Sephora today. Ive been a baaaaaad bad girl

I had spaghetti and meatballs, garlic bread, blast o butter popcorn and the rest of the oreo cookie ice cream that was in the freezer and I feel like I'm gonna hurl. I start back on South Beach tomorrow insha Allah so I figured I'd go out with a bang.

The Jehovah's Witnesses are here. They were shocked when I offered them tea and brought out a fruit plate. Gave me a chance to introduce a little of the egyptian and muslim culture of welcoming guests. Now my husband is confusing them thoroughly He's already got himself invited to a revelations study group on Mondays.

Turn on the web cam! we want to watch!

Update on Mr. Betta fish: As of 5:54pm he is at least upright (not sideways) and seemed almost interested in food. Not out of the woods yet but I would say he went from critical to stable condition.

Hurrah for mr. Fish! I'm sure its your loving care Jackie!

I can't either!!!!!!

I remember every minute of that day!!! Including hearing about how he had to scale the wall of a mosque and jump from one mosque rooftop to another in order to get to the outside of his windowsill to break into his flat so that he could get his id papers. :jest: I could write a book about that one day alone!

For those who aren't familiar with it, there's a webcam that's pointed at the pyramids all the time. Hard to see them at night of course, since it's dark out, but there's sometimes some very lovely shots when the weather is clear. It's also very evident at times how bad the air is there.

Anyways, here's a link for anyone who's interested

It's the ones that you went to. I can't remember their names.

I can't either but that's so cool!!!!! I love the night shots and the one they show on Halloween! Funny but I'm more impressed with them looking at this cam than I was in person.

They used to have another cam that showed from a different angle and got more of the housing in the picture and I always liked to look and imagine my honey was in there somewhere. I know one of their apartments is fairly close to the pyramids.

Oh that's a nice area! I told Usama that I wouldn't mind living in that area if we end up in Cairo in about ten to fifteen years from now. I'd prefer Alexandria though I think since I think I'd miss living on the ocean too much. Whenever I'm inland I get all claustrophobic feeling. The hotels in that area are pretty swanky too from what I recall. There is one right next to the pyramids that I was dying to go look at but we didn't have time.

The Pyramids that everyone sees and are close into the city are at Giza (the ones the webcam is pointed at). There are also pyramids at Saqqara (Step Pyramid) and Dendara going on down to Memphis . . . I haven't been to Memphis yet. One of these days . . maybe on this next trip . . . I have to work up the powers of persuasian to get the hubster to go!

Yeah, we already decided that if we move back to Egypt insha'Allah it won't be in Cairo, but one of the outlying areas or even Alex or Hurghada.

He sent me some really short videos of when he was in Alex a couple of weeks ago. I hope he can take some more next time he goes so I can see more of the area.
