It's hump day!

[a1angied 0]

Today is busy for me as Hasan is testing right now to see what level of ESL he will start at and then we are off to the DMV so that he can take the written test in Arabic. All day yesterday he practiced the practice test over and over and over and was doing mush better then I was. Then we are going to the bank to add him to my account and then off to visit my God children and so that he can also met the people that i call Grandma and pa.

Well as for the diet thing well he has gained 5 lbs and i have remained the same. Since he is 155 soaking wet I guess he can get away with it. I sure wish I was losing what he is gaining atleast so we could even out.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Last night I went to look at the apartment we'll be moving into in Somerville (MA).

What neighborhood? I used to live in Teele Square... I miss it! The Somerville Theater, the library, Sound Bites (if you don't know about Sound Bites send me a PM and I'll tell you where it is; the owner is totally the Breakfast Nazi, he has all these rules lol!)

Today...going to the gym after work. That's my grand plan. It's still HOT here!

I love Sound Bites!!!! One of my friends used to live on Winter Hill and we used to go there allllllll the time.

We're going to be in Davis Square, so really close to Teele. It's going to be such a great change from being in the suburbs (don't people usually want to move OUT of the city?? I want to move back in!!!). I used to live in Coolidge Corner in Brookline so I'm excited to try out another part of Boston.

Last night I went to look at the apartment we'll be moving into in Somerville (MA). It's my mom's house that she bought after law school (a two family house) and my husband and I are going to rent the downstairs and my brother and his girlfriend and maybe a roomate or two will rent the upstairs (because it's a 4 bedroom). The downstairs apartment is a 3 bedroom and it's two stories... it's pretty nice!! The tenants there now haven't taken very good care of the outside of the house (the backyard that used to be very nice and green is all dirt.... the driveway is a two car driveway, but they've made it a three car by parking one in, what used to be, a garden.... etc) so we'll have some work to do. I can't wait to plant some flowers! The only nice one i saw was a red trumpet vine that had winded it's way along the front porch. They've also painted some of the rooms a very obnoxious shade of yellow, so that'll have to be painted over. But I'm really excited!!!!!

Right now we're living outside of the city and we only have one car at the moment, so it's pretty hard for us to get around, especially because we go in different directions to work and have different schedules. I have to drop him off early at the train and he has to wait for two hours at starbucks before work and i have to wait at night until 11/12 or later sometimes to pick him up. So it will be a breath of fresh air to have the T within walking distance and be able to go out and do stuff... right now all we have is the woods

So much stuff to do before the end of August! The summer is going by so fast

Wow what a great investment your mom made!!! I can't imagine living away from busses/trains, etc. Even though I never use them I still would feel suffocated due to the lack of options!!! I"m on the north shore in a wee little town on the water so it feels like I'm far away from the city but you can see it from the beach and we have a train station and busses and the t is closeby.

Near Ipswitch by any chance?? One of my older brothers and his family moved up there about ten years ago - I love it!

My sons just came up here to say goodbye to me. They're leaving today for Yemen. It's only 3 weeks but I'm gonna miss them so much. I'm sitting here at my desk in tears.

No not that far up. Closer to Marblehead.

I know what you mean though. Although I'm psyched to see my husband AND we'll be able to get down to business, my heart is aching about leaving the kids. It's a lot different being half way around the world apart than having them a few towns over. That separation I can do but this will be just pure torture. They're both sleeping in my bed lately 'cause they wanna soak me all up before I go.

My husband made horse for dinner one night when we were living in Paris. He got pissy when I told him it tasted like a pork chop.

I've felt bad ever since for eating horse... but it was right after I told him that I was an adventurous eater and would try anything. I should have said "not the cute animals"

I don't eat "cute" animals either. That includes..rabbits, ducks and deer.

I love duck l'orange!!!!!

When I was in Orlando we went to one of Emeril's restaurants and I had the best duck!!!! My youngest daughter kept giving me dirty looks though and my oldest kept tickin' her off by making quacking noises the whole rest of the trip.
