A blog about what daily life was really like in the Middle East and the daily ramblings of an ex-pat mum. That's how I started the blog. We are now home, so I'm just going to continue with life here. I am a deeply committed Christian. I love to teach about and share my faith so you'll see some of that on the blog as well. Got a comment? Please feel to comment at the end of a post. May our Creator's peace be upon you.

Typical day.....en paradiso y some extra fluff

Hola! Como estas? Ok. I've had a touch of fun lately making a feeble attempt to use a bit of my Espanol. Kinda weird; living in the Middle East and using Spanish. Sigh......

Ok. The today snap I find mind blowing at just way too many levels. What a trip huh?

Work is good but getting busier. My head for numbers is now being put to work two extra hours per week. Really, it is a good thing, but I think the extra work time is a bit rough on the munchkins.

Thinking of munchkins, Munchkin #2 twisted an ankle at recess today so she had to miss her sport of choice this afternoon. Ah well, so it goes. And, we now know that she really dislikes the smell of BioFreeze (like IcyHot or BenGay), but she now believes Mum when I tell her it does work! Anyhow, she's fine. She just needs to rest up the ankle a bit.

Ok. On to REALLY pointless stuff! The husband told me that we've been invited to a pretty fancy/big deal dinner meet and greet thing for his work. Well, I'm WAY excited, but I totally freaked when I realized I own nothing that I could wear. So.....I got to do some SERIOUS shopping in Dubai this weekend. Wow, to say the least. I found a shimmery silk dress kinda thing that's knee length that is silvery with tiger stripes. The sleeves are wide but short. And, bought some black heels with rhinestones and pearls (VERY dressy). What an experience.....went into a VERY pricey store, found a dress in my price range, and bought it. Paid cash too! (Ladies in my family - think Neaman Marcus or Harrods but not quite so steep). I now have something to wear. But, I didn't bring my good silver jewelry, sigh.....more shopping. Whoot! And, to my mum and cousins: just bought a nice sleeper sofa/futon thing! It'll be delivered on Saturday. Paid cash for that as well! Great fun!
