I guess I want to really make an effort to write on here as often as possible, even though right now there isn't much going on.
I'm hoping for something(s) in MAJOR ways, but feel it's best to leave those cats in the bag for now.
I have to go for my hearing/dizziness test this Friday, the latter part I am 100% not looking forward to. They will blow hot and cold air into my ears to give me the sensation of the world moving (ie: the spins / dizziness) to try and see what's causing my BPPV (benign positional proximital vertigo....I hope I got that right). I'll be wearing some goggles (wooo) to test how my eyes are reacting when my world is spinning. I'm just hoping I don't throw up during the test, because the spins really make me nauseous.
That's all for now folks!

frustration
I know politics should not be discussed. I know this.
And yet, I cannot seem to put a lid on it and just NOT TALK ABOUT THEM!!
May Allah help me, truly.

the pillow thief
There are a few reasons the cats don't sleep in the room at night. First and foremost is the hair factor....Brahim is allergic and the hair sometimes makes that worse. The constant up and down on the bed (get up, jump down, get up, jump down) is another reason. Sometimes though, when Brahim stays in MD, I'll let them in. Which brings me to the MAIN reason (in my book) why they aren't allowed in: pillow stealing.
Tyrone is good, and stays mainly next to my body, but never EVER near my head. Sammy, that's a different story. Sammy likes to lie beside my pillow, then when I'm asleep or almost asleep, he moves in. First 1/4 of the pillow, then 1/2, and before you know it, I'm lucky to have a corner.
I caught him moving in this morning and yelled at him. Not that he pays any attention to me, he just freezes, the s l o w l y moves in again.
You'd think I'd learn.

turkey and brie....how I love thee
I think my all time favorite sandwich now is a smoked turkey with melted brie on wheat. *sigh* nothing better....
And some sellou (Moroccan sweet) for dessert, with some ice cold milk.
And for some reason, the dryer shrunk all my pants!! who woulda thought??

ha, not funny
After reading some of the other blogs out there, I realize I need to step it up.
Mine are rather droll, and not too funny.
I need to be wittier, or smarter, or something-er.

German airport issue
There is a news article about a passenger who fled when his laptop bag tested positive for explosives in Munich, Germany.

How much do you want to bet that they release the video of this character within a few days? Unless he's like the two Indian guys from the Northwest Flight, and then he will never have existed.

Lori & Kurt Haskell
I read about Lori & Kurt Haskell about a day or so after the Christmas Day thwarted attack on the Northwest airplane out of Denmark. They indicated they saw an "older, well dressed Indian man, about middle aged" accompanying Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab at the Denmark airport (http://www.monroenews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20091227/NEWS01/712279987/-1/NEWS), and this Indian man told the woman at the boarding gate that Umar had no passport, was a refugee of Sudan and that "we do this all the time." Fast forward to them landing, and ANOTHER Indian fellow, 30-ish, is spotted when bomb sniffing dogs make a "hit" on his carryon luggage. He is taken away, brought out and handcuffed, then led away. This is the "man in orange" mentioned in this (http://haskellfamily.blogspot.com/2010/01/latest-story-by-kurt-haskell.html) post by Kurt Haskell.
Now the powers that be are essentially saying Lori and Kurt "saw things" or were "mistaken" and they didn't really occur.
When will people wake up, and begin to wonder just WHO is pulling the strings? The Gov't has "eyes in the sky" that can find a LICENSE PLATE, but can't stop a suspected terrorist, nor can they find any record of the older Indian man (won't release the tapes), but they can release a still image of the Newark fool who jumped a gate to kiss his girlfriend goodbye!?! What is wrong with this picture??
