He's really wow!

I bought Ibrahim a kids dart board to see how he'd like it. It's the kind that has magnets instead of needle sharp darts. Ibrahim has taken to darts like a fish to water! He's good... really good... it's actually kind of scary even. I'm going to have to get him a real dart board and darts and let him loose.

What is this?

I noticed this new building in Tripoli, near Alhani. When I asked what it was, my kids said it's got signs for four new educational television stations on it. Hmmm.... call me pessimistic if you want... but has education in Libya improved so much that we want to flout it on TV?

Can anyone fill me please?

A new toy!

I found a new search tool from Google that will let you search all kinds of information as a timeline. You can search all kinds of things; news, art, music, blogs, magazines and all kinds of other stuff. I especially like the way it displays the search results - you can see all the news in the window and then easily slide backwards or forwards in time. Very nice!

Choosing

There's an argument looming in the near future. We're going to choose the colour of the paint for the outside of the house today.... hopefully... I wish that man would get the crazy notions out of his head and just listen to me from the beginning... but no, that would be way too easy. We'll have to argue about it first. He mentioned something yesterday about liking chocolate brown... he must be insane .... sigh...

Awarded...

I got a blogger award from on the edge... she even mentioned she thinks of me as her mentor.. hmm.... ok... whatever.. lolol..

The award is:

• a dedication for those who love blogging and love to encourage friendships through blogging.
• to seek the reasons why we all love blogging.

The aims of this award:

• Put the award in one post as soon as you receive it.
• Don't forget to mention the person who gives you the award.
• Answer the award's question by writing the reason why you love blogging.
• Tag and distribute the award to as many people as you like.
• Don't forget to notify the award receivers and put their links in your post.

OK.. in answer to the question 'Why you love blogging', here's the answer:

Hmmmm.... not so sure I love blogging.... but it's a good way to:

• communicate,
• keep my folks up with what's going on in my life,
• irritate people (and I love doing that!)
• speak my mind
• post my photos
• tell my stories

Yeah... OK... I guess I kinda love blogging in a way.

OK... who to tag for this?... Heba - she's such a special person! (and it's been ages since she's posted anything).

Thanks on the edge! You made my day!

It's really a BIG DEAL

This is so hilarious: right here

Costs about 30 bucks for something Libyan girls get for practically nothing.... and the Libyan version is all natural... chicken kidneys... virginity is such a big deal here... sigh...

Driving Time

I've been doing a lot of driving these days. Listening to audiobooks fits in well with the multi-tasker in me. The latest one is Bones to Ashes by Kathy Reichs. The kids decided that they don't like this one and they complain, but I like it. There are about 4 hours left to go and then I'll let them choose the next one. I spend over 2 hours a day driving kids around. I think it's time to get Nora a car.
