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.

Vehicles and being a 'high maintenance' woman

Well, I am officially a high maintenance woman. No, I don't get my nails done. I think my last trip to the salon to get my hair done was some time last August. Makeup? I wonder if I still own any that isn't dried up and funny smelling? But.....I now own two vehicles (the husband drives a company car). We bought the second 4X4 last night. {Doing the little happy dance}

That's right....I am a mum with two vehicles. In a land of high maintenance women who would make any 'junior leaguer' question whether or not if she really is as cool as she thinks she is.....the no make-up wearing, scruffy hair, un-manicured mum has two vehicles. Both have excellent 4 wheel drive. A good girl friend of mine here told me, "You will be the only woman in the country driving that type of vehicle." Yup, I am high maintance of a very unusual variety. I am already dreaming of cramming the back end of the new vehicle with kayaking and snorkel gear. Oh yeah...... My toys are expensive...... And we won't even talk about the tree farming hobby.....

Attention women who think they are high maintenance! I am your worst nightmare. I have a nice looking husband, great munchkins, a massive villa, money in the bank, I am educated, I speak my mind, I refuse to hire a housekeeper (filth rules!), I know how to use a chain saw and I've probably sat next to you at a formal dress fundraising event. That table you sat at during the big fancy dinner for your husband's work? Yes, that was me next to you. I am the girl you made fun of in school for being a 'nerd'. To quote MC Hammer, "Can't touch this!"

Peace :)
