SO HUGE!! MUST READ!! http://www.family.org/cforum/...
Quick post as I get ready for an hopefully amazing 4 day cruise on the Nile aboard the Sonesta Mood Goddess cruise line!
This morning was spent memorizing zillions of verbs to show up at my Arabic class to find out it didn't change anything in my quiz--I didn't know half of the story she was telling us and we had to fill in the blanks! Oh well! I have no poor grades yet, and one quiz that is worth only 3% of my grade shouldn't hurt too much!
Post-class lunch and doing up Rebecca for her invite with a Marine friend from home (she is stationed in Egypt) who invited her to the Embassy for a Marine's happy hour. Sarah and I treated Rebecca like a lifesize Barbie and did everything from her nails to teaching her how to use my products to tame frizz and scrunch her always-pulled-back curly hair and even teaching her how to put on mascara. We dressed her adorably, gave her a set of rules for social situations, and watched our adorable little girl fly away to a land of beautiful American boys. Jealous, Blair, Sarah, and I sat and watched all the parts of Troy with Brad Pitt to be reminded of blond boys (boys none of us liked before we came here!) It was a great girl bonding time, but then the Arabic I am missing on my cruise (yay no class for two days = only three days of class left this summer!) called me and I spent a good hour or so working on a story and recording it for the teacher!
Now I'm going to finish packing for Luxor/Aswan/Abu Simble--a dilemna because the cruise ship is nice but the touring during the day requires "safari" clothing and the weather is expected to be between 110-120 degrees F. After packing will be shower, dinner, then sleeping for a couple hours before heading out at 4am for the cruise!
Just wanted to post (so people don't freak out like last time I went on a three day weekend!) to let everyone know: I WILL BE AWAY FROM CAIRO FROM 4AM FRIDAY TO ABOUT 11PM ON MONDAY NIGHT!
Miss and love you all! Keep those emails coming. .I love 'em! 10 days til free soil!
