Naughty, Naughty

I was reading blogs again this morning...

I found this one:

http://nieniedialogues.blogspot.com/

It's really interesting - she's a young mother and her posts are really chatty and interesting.  She has a really good writing style.  I had read about 2 months worth of post before I realized that she was a burn victim. 

Both she and her husband survived a small plane crash in 2008.

She had burns over 80% of her body and what's amazing is that her writing is still as upbeat after her crash as before.  And man does she love her husband and her children. 

She talks about her adjustment to living with severe burns - but she's not bitter and her kids and her husband are still her joy. 

I think that's what I like so much about her blog - her joy shines through.  Her joy in life, her husband, and her children. 

It's a pleasure to read and I'm so glad I found it.

Go Rob Thomas!

 I was surfing the net - yes I am very bored.

I cam across this on the Huffington Post:  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rob-thomas/the-big-gay-chip-on-my-sh_b_208183.html

Rob says exactly what I feel regarding Gay Marriage.

Why are we even debating it?

My Head is going to EXPLODE!

I have a very stuffy nose and my head is exploding, it's not a cold - it's allergies.

Not good when I have only 5 days left until I leave for vacation.

So I popped some Clariton - hopefully that will help.

Or maybe when I get away from all the sand that will help.

Something needs to help.

Anyhoo - I'm going to start the application process for my MS in Accounting.

Here we go again - a 2nd masters - and most likely a 3rd because they have a track where you can get 2.  MS in Accounting & Financial Mangement and a MS in Accounting & Information Systems.

I'm going to get my CPA after I do the Accounting piece.

Luck to me on passing that the first time around!

Twilight - the Saga

I found this website:

It's 95 reasons why you shouldn't read Twilight. 

And, OH MY GOSH do I love it!!!!

In case you didn't already know I'm not a Twilight fan.

Main reason:  Edward is a pedophile.

What 117 year old man is going to find a 16 year old girl interesting?

Bella looks more like a 13 year old boy than a woman, so he's not interested because she looks like a woman.

So pedophile.

It's the only explanation.

My favorite reasons on the list to not read Twilight are:

26.  Her vampires sparkle. Enough said.
28.  There is too much face touching.
45.  Bella.
46.  Bella is Edward’s beard.
48.  Straight men sparkle?
51.  Edward Cullen is sparkly; crows like sparkly things.
59.  She had only been in Forks for a month when Edward had been watching her sleep for two months. (Ha ha ha!)
65.  The reason Edward can’t read Bella’s mind is because she doesn’t have one.
77.  A hundred years difference = pedophile.
 
I understand that I'm not the demographic that this book is aiming for - but I think I would have had a hard time with this one even when I was 16.  It's creepy when a man goes after a child. 
 
And I love this list because it states the one thing that kept me from even considering this series, the age gap.
 
And he's sparkly - really?  Sparkly?

The Humidity, Oh the Humidity!

Yep it's really humid here...

And my hair is loving it!!!

It's full and bouncy with a bit of wave.

And I'm liking it...

My hair does not like it when there is no humidity in the air, I look like some kind of homeless reject.

It turns dull, lank, and oily and I can't do anything with it no matter how hard I try.

So today I'm loving my hair.

I feel prity!  Like model...cheerleader...

Prity.

Off to get my coffee now...

Bliss. Ahhhhh.

No More Kissing People

I knew this would happen,

I hoped it wouldn't, but was pretty sure it would.

I believe it's part backlash from the financial crisis, and part of the increased influence from Abu Dhabi after the Dubai bailout.

Dubai is getting more conservative.

Money always has strings.

Anyway, from what I gather - a British couple were thrown in jail for kissing in a restaurant.

http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/uae/crime/british-couple-denies-lip-kissing-claim-it-was-peck-on-cheek-1.597307

Not for inappropriately touching, but for kissing. 

The article doesn't say if his tongue was down her throat or not.

I haven't heard anything about them being warned to stop, then arrested when they didn't stop.

It just says they were kissing, an Emirati woman complained, so they were arrested and sentenced to a month in jail.

Nice.

Progress Report

Well, I've been thinking....

What... are you sinking about?

Well, I'm thinking about what the hell I can do in this ridiculous country if I'm stuck here for the next 2 - 3 years.

This is what I've come up with so far...

1. Join Fitness First - Because....

I need to get out of the house during the week and it's right across the street from where I work and I need to lose weight

2. Become so busy I don't have time to breath, in order to do that I believe I'm going to...

Get an Master of Science in Accounting and Financial Management

There is an online program that SP told me about at the University of Maryland which has an accredited online Masters in Accounting. 


And it's a lot cheaper than the University of Phoenix. Too bad I didn't find it when I was looking at MBA's I could have had mine for 1/2 of what I paid UoP.

Live and learn.

3. I need to find a new J.O.B.! 


I can't do the monkey work anymore.


My brain is totally dying. I'm going to start drooling and shuffling around the house if I don't do something about it soon. 

Soooo

I'm going to identify large multinational corporations who have operations in Dubai and
Look into the big 4 here to see if they are any better than they were when I checked them out 2 yrs ago.


So I figure if I'm busy at work, and I'm busy at home that won't leave me anytime to think.

We'll see....
