80 hours and counting!

I am just dying to get home! We were sitting around the campfire this weekend and I was momentarily jealous, or envious, or some non-negative word that means the same thing, of all the different places people were going over Spring Break. One couple is heading to Ethiopia, another to Sri Lanka, a few other friends are heading to India (I want to want to go there, but I have no desire), Jordan, Egypt, Oman, Syria and I can't even remember where else, but it was just amazing to think about all the different places people are traveling to.

I just got off work and decided to pack. I checked the weather and am not sure how I am going to survive; I've not worn much more than a skirt or dress with a light cardigan and sandals for the last seven months... now I checked the forecast and it's rain and even the possibility of snow! I'm sure I'll survive.

I was trying to sort out with my sister how I would find her at the airport. I bought this tri band phone here because then I could use it in the states, but of course it broke this week. Fortunately it's under warranty so I went to Carrerfour to exchange it and they don't do that, they give you a loaner phone and send it away. They say it will be back in a few weeks, which in Dubai time means never. The loaner phone is a joke, it's this plasticy phone and has tons of numbers programed into it. I'm convinced I have somebody else's phone and they thing it has been sent away to be repaired and somebody different has mine. I will be very surprised if I ever see my phone again... only in Dubai.

I cannot wait to meet my nephew!
