9. No hurricanes in sight
8. My washer takes exactly 1 hour and 55 minutes to wash a load
7. Kumar, my gardener, is heisting plants from empty villas and selling them to me at a premium.
6. No bacon or pork roast to be found
5. Gas is 80 cents a gallon.
4. My name has been changed back to "Madame"
3. I'm back to saying, "Excuse me, I was here before you."

..........and the #1 reason that I know I'm back in Doha......

*No matter what we have for dinner, this is Kristi's canned response. She can eat a bowl of cereal in the kitchen and walk through the den saying her usual, "Thanks, Mom. It was delicious!" She has done this without missing a beat, since kindergarten.

I spent all morning catching up on reading your blog. I haven't read any since May! I am very busy at work but I just didn't feel like doing any today. Your writing certainly was entertaining as usual. You sure have a talent for writing these blogs, keep it up.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lucy! I'm so glad I could help you muddle through your work day...ha! Your vote of confidence in my skills (or lack of!) is much appreciated. It gives me the will to blog on :)
