He may be talking about fast food or other restaurants not street food like koshari or fuul and falafel. For combo meals at McDee's for 3 ppl it costs about 60LE. If you're gonna eat McDee's or other fast food then count on more than 300LE for the time you'll be there. Our bill at a cafe in Giza was about 72LE for shawarma sandwiches, Pepsi, tea and sheesha. That was only one meal. He's not high balling it, he's actually low balling it IMO. Oh unless he's talking 300LE a day then that's way high balling it.

PHEW!!!!

OMG all night I was thinking ####### now another $380 might as well cancel the flat and just stay in Cairo!!! Now we can proceed as planned!!!

Also, he seems to think it will cost 300 pounds or so to eat out at restaurants everyday. Is that true or is he just a ding dong? Sounds like a lot of money though pounds aren't dollars so what do I know. He's talking nice restaurants though and I was like, ####### koshari costs less than a dollar and I can live on that!! lol

No he means between 200 and 300 LE per day to eat out, but he wasn't thinking McD's. He has some restaurants in mind for fish with the gross pukey heads staring right at you.

Ok so more stress...it will cost me approx $130 to park my car for the duration at an airport lot. This is ALL so that my parents, who basically live in the same town, don't come to my house, see my car, knock on the door, and freak when no one answers and call 911 thinking I'm dead.

Because of this I"ve decided to tell my mom that I"m going. I feel like I"m gonna hurl.

OMG!! 2 days before you leave??!! lol

I used to like to go to the airport, but since our son has been born, the airport isn't as fun as it used to be. Hopefully when he gets a little older and can understand more, it will be more enjoyable for both of us.

On a happy note, I've been really working hard to get back into the shape I was when Hicham and I first met 7 years ago. I put on alot of weight when my dad died and since the baby was born. Well, I have been losing but I didn't realize how much until I was looking for something to wear to work this morning and was looking through my closet and found a skirt that I couldn't even button when I first got my spring/summer clothes out this year. I decided to try it on.....

AND IT FITS!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!

It's a little snug, but not cutting my breath off snug. This skirt is TWO sizes smaller than what I have been wearing when I started dieting a couple of months ago. I am so very proud of myself because I have really been trying hard.

Just wanted to share that!

Thanks!

It feels good to not have to look the other way when I'm walking past the windows of my office building.

Hicham is all excited too....he keeps telling me that before he comes home, he's going to send me links of pics of lingerie that he wants me to get so I can wear it for him.... ....I've been telling him...Down, boy...Down!!! tee hee

oh it gets worse, here's the bulk of the conversation:

me: "mom, I wasn't gonna tell you but i'm going on a vacation for a week"

mom: "where?"

me: "well..."

mom: "cairo???"

me: "alexandria"

mom: "oh god. *sigh* why don't you go somewhere else? there's a whole world out there, why are you going there??"

me: "because my husband lives there"

mom: "good lord you're still into that guy??? he really has you over a barrel doesn't he?"

me: silence

mom: "well it's your life, etc................i hope you will be ok but i don't think you will"

me: "well i don't know why i wouldn't, people come and go there everyday"

mom: "that's what i mean, you're totally clueless that you're placing yourself in danger but that is what you get for being on those panic drugs"

me: "ok gotta go"

No offense, doodle, but your mom sounds like a tool.

How come I never change clothes sizes? I mean, I've been up to 15 pounds lighter or 10 pounds heavier than I am right now, and my size never changes.

that conversation looks eerily similar to many conversations i've had with my mom in the past year. *sigh* no wonder i'm depressed now!

jenn i think its cuz you're so tall (like me). my dress size didn't change until i was about 15lbs heavier than i should be.
