Tuesday in MENA

[♥JP♥ 5]

It's gotten really bad in the last 6 months or so too. With all these forclosures on homes, everyone is moving into rentals! The rental market is out of control and there are hardly any areas around here with rent control. You can't even get a studio apartment here for $615!!!!

Yeah you have it kinda rough in Cali with the high prices for rent. Where I live (decent middle class neighborhood) I pay $615 a month for a nice sized 2 bedroom apt. (huge kitchen, huge master bed with walk in closet). Plus we have our own basement with our own washer and dryer (not the normal "cage" basements you find in apts.).

I want a new bedroom set and mattress set! Mine's like 11 yrs old now and looking shabby.

I just want a place to put it all! We can't find a place to live!!!! And I can't bring myself to pay 2K a month for an apartment that doesn't even have a freaking washer/dryer inside the unit!!!!!

Shorba basically means "soup" in Arabic so yeah Egyptians eat shorba but prolly not the same kind as Moroccans. My favorite is shorbat el ads (lentil soup).

I'm hungry

ME too after reading about Doodles sandwich!

Going to warm up my shorba. Any of you from countries other than morocco have shorba before?

Our brand new red sectional was delivered yesterday. We had been shopping for something special and so glad he talked me into choosing the red fabric, I just love it. It actually reminds me a bit of the Moroccan furniture I saw when in Morocco.

It took him quite a few months to find the barber he really likes and he does do a good job. He even had me try shaving it close a few times but made me too nervous. Now his hair is a bit long but it is about time for him to be leaving for Morocco so he may have it cut there this time.

We are going to "our" first kind of rock concert tomorrow night. We are seeing Chris Daughtry or Daughtry. We are taking the day off and hoping to enjoy the night.

Haha! It's actually a very nice area. It's a northeastern suburb of Detroit. Rent in Southeast Michigan generally varies between $500 and $800 a month. Our apt. complex kinda reminds me of the apts in Melrose Place with the pool in the middle of the complex. It's family owned and maintained. Honestly, it's THE nicest apt. I've ever lived in.

omg $615 that is sooo cheap!!!!!! I have often thought of selling my home and using the profit as the kids' tuition and just renting but I can't find anything less than $3,000 where I am for a 3 bedroom that is halfway decent! And that is more than I pay for my mortgage so I guess I'll stay put.

$5,500 for all that furniture is a good deal!!!! Have you thought of moving away from Cali or at least in a cheaper part of it? It's a huge state and there are parts that are cheaper than others, right? I know my brother used to live there ages ago and he rented a house for real cheap but it was in the boonies somewhere. He's a wicked hippie so it probably didnt' even have indoor plumbing knowing him. lol.

OMG will this day ever end???!?!?!?!?!

Hey Dee, how's your husband doing with the vegetarian diet or are you cooking meat now for him? I know some of these guys would go nuts without meat in their diet.
