Good Golly Molly!

My husband's boss decided today that he should concentrate solely on North America, with an eye to Europe for opportunities. 

What does that mean you ask?

It means he will be based in HOUSTON!  And he won't have to visit the ME monthly!

Does it get any better than this?!

I don't think so!

Well, maybe if Gabi were still around to enjoy it...

Oh, I just thought of something - since he's going to be based in Houston it may mean that I won't be staying with my BBF SP for a the few months that we had planned. 

Hmmm - I was looking forward to hanging with her and the family for a few months.

Oh well - I'll still be A LOT closer to her than I am now!

Caio!

Katherine Heigl and Peanut Butter

I had a dream last night.

It was me, Katherine Heigl, my sister, and a really good friend (this friend was nameless, and faceless but in my dream a very close friend).

Weird.

Why in the world would Katherine Heigl be in one of my dreams?  I don't even particularly care for her movies, and I didn't see one last night.

Hmmmm

Anyway, in the dream we were on a train going somewhere.  My sister and Katherine knew where we were going.

We were going to cross off #4 on "the list". 

So after we got to where we were going we took a van to go back.

By the way, I have no idea where we went or what we saw.

We all pile into the van with the driver and started to drive down the train tracks.

I'm like "what if a train comes?!" and the driver says don't worry trains can't travel on these tracks because of the boulders.

And sure enough there were boulders in the tunnel, because of course we were suddenly in a tunnel.

But the tunnel was as bright as day.  And it had boulders everywhere, and the tracks were like straight up.

To the point that I was leaning back and completely perpendicular to the ground.   And when I looked over one of the boulders had crushed some boots and had bugs under it.

Weird.

So we get out of the tunnel and we're magically sitting around, I think in a boat, and Katherine Heigl says, "there I've marked four things off my list, see?". 

She hands me her camera and it has peanut butter on it.  She's using peanut butter to mark things off her list.

I'm like, "I can't see the list for the peanut butter.  What did we just look at?  What was #4 on the list?".  And "Can I wipe this peanut butter off?".

In my dream I start wiping the peanut butter off and then I wake up.

WTF - where did that come from?!

Transfer Complete!

Well almost...

I've been trying to move my travel blog over to this account so I only have to log in once to manage my accounts.

It was a pain because even when you download the old blog then upload it back up to the new - as per the instructions - it didn't carry over any of my photos.

And I was trying to preserve what I had done without any changes.  You know capture the moment in time and all.

Any way I had to do a manual process of copy and past, but every time I went from one blog to the other I got logged out.

I was not happy!  But I did get if finished, for the most part.

I have like one or two posts left to go - I think - I got blocked out last night so I have to wait  a few days to get back into the old account.

But I have most of it moved over here in the new account so I can start blogging about the places we've been since the beginning of the year.

Whoo hoo!

Monkeys and Kittens

This was so cute I just had to share it!

The monkey has adopted the kitten.

It's too cute!

Libya is the New Dubai

Have you heard about this?


Apparently Libya is the new Dubai...


I'm all for Muammar Gadhafi renouncing terrorism.  I hope this is true because with the "President" of Iran acting like a crazy man there needs to be more stability over here in the Middle East.


Maybe if people in the Middle East were more educated and exposed to different cultures and the concept of civil rights house maids wouldn't have to be subjected to hot nails being hammered into them.


Yes that really happened to a Sri Lankan house maid in KSA.  Here is the article, she had 13 nails and 5 needles removed.  They couldn't get the other 6 needles in her hands because it could have damaged her nerves.


House maids should be warned before they go to KSA and given help numbers.  Or they should have to check in weekly with their country's embassy with a code word that means, "GET ME OUT OF HERE!".


I'm so glad I was born an American.

I need a Burqa for my Blackberry!

Oh wait, I need a Blackberry first!

A friend of mine showed me this article in the News Biscuit.

I mean how funny is that?!

It's a teeny tiny little Burqa for your Blackberry.

I wonder if you can really buy them...I want to get one for my husband.

I'm doing a little happy dance...you just can't see it!

Guess what!?
