Ok I know where have I been? Really no where but around the house and DQ. Lets see we went to a new comers party at the ambassadors house and it was OK. I had 4 "Teas" A was sick so he only got soda. I think I was the oldest female and the only one without kids. Lots of little kids oh yeah my favorite. I did get to speak with some of the teen age girls going to the American school. They say its not that bad here to live you get together with your friends, go to the malls, bowling things like that. They say it actually easier being a girl than a guy because they can't go any where on weekends with just guy friends because they are not allowed in the pubic places without their mothers or older sisters. Sooo there you go Tanner you need your mommy to go to the mall, That is to keep the sexes separated from just hanging out. One never knows what kind of trouble you could get into in a public place with a girl.
Lets see we visited car dealers a few times and I pimped myself to get help, I guess if you don't look like you have lots of money they don't help you. A is lucky I'll go up to anyone and talk. The sales guys were a bit surprised that I knew about cars and what we needed for the desert. I asked if I could test drive a car and the response was you husband may try it. Sucks The small exclusive dealer we visited had coffee and dates the larger one had nothing to offer not even a better deal so far. A wants me to go out alone, that means with a driver and check prices from one dealer to the next, that should be fun I'll take my camera A won't let me he with him he thinks I'll get in trouble.
I think it will be so boring here I'll have to get a job so I am applying for some at the embassy of course you will hear back till after Eid (feast of the sheep) soon for 10 days I'm told, so add a few days in the front and a few to the back and you have a holiday here. My guess maybe around third week in November oh wait then we have Thanksgiving.
No word on the new digs remember add a few days to the number that give you and wait.
We still don't have our local Dip ID's, it seems the photos taken at State HQ were to light and we need new ones. Yep just found out today what have they done for the last three weeks. So off to the photo place I go, painless quick even if we fudged a little on the time with the call to pray. Got them to the embassy but the guy left, I guess tired of waiting for me. My bad I should have not waited 25 minutes for the Embassy driver to came and get me, then of course the call to pray.........
Now I'm back home just got back from our two mile walk the dogs and I. We would be watching TV right now but the AFN satellite is out now for 20 hours, back to my book.
Two years is looking good.
