What the Heck????

Okay, twice I have tried to post a blog post, and Internet Explorer hasn't let me post it. The first time it was just a minor annoyance... I opened Firefox, and posted it there. Life was good, right?

The second time, I tried to do the same thing... a little more annoyed... but when I tried to copy the text to paste it into Firefox, IT ERASED THE WHOLE STUPID POST!!!!!!!

What the heck?????? So I will be looking today for a solution, because Firefox is not my normal browswer and I'm annoyed to have to us it just because stupid Blogger won't work.

Grr.

 

And while we are on the subject of "what the heck?", I have to tell you about my wonderful best friend/neighbor... Before I moved here, my former friend from Morocco had introduced me to some of her friends from other countries.  I met one from Libya, one from Lebanon, and one from Saudi Arabia.  The one from Saudi Arabia and I started working with each other on English and Arabic, and we became good friends.  I was annoyed to have to drive across town to her house though... so when we decided to give the Mold Cube back to the bank, and had to move... her apartment complex (which was also wayyyyyyyy cheaper than most apartments) was one of the places we investigated. 

 

Totally the best decision, ever.  We moved here, and I love it. (Mr. Beloved hasn't really stated an opinion.)  I've met people from all over the world here... my neighbors on my floor are from India, America, Saudi Arabia, China, and Korea I think...  I've also seen people here from Libya, Kenya and Nepal!  How cool is that???  Small Arabic children randomly swarm when they see me, screaming "Jan-nette!" and giving me hugs.

 

And the friend from Saudi Arabia?  She has totally achieved best friend status now.  We do almost everything together, but we have tried to let the friendship grow slowly because we don't want drama.  She has four absolutely amazing kids, who I dearly love.  We have had fun conversations about everything, even comparing the story of Jesus in the Bible and Quran.  She has taught me to cook amazing deserts and meals, and told me all of the secrets to living in this apartment complex ( Good people, bad people, cleanup before pest control, and free washers on the fourth floor!)  Oh, and when my neice and my nephew visit, she totally saves my sanity... her kids come over at night to wear the neice and nephew out... if I need something from my car, her older kids come to watch the babies while I escape for a minute... and the babies absolutely LOVE her children.

 

She and her children have also all learned the phrase "What the Heck?!"  It's highly amusing. 

 

Definately the best thing about living here... even better than having a real period again and not having chronic ear infections now that we live in a house without mold.  And that's really saying something!!!
