How often do you call your parents?

Not as often as I would like to. It ends up being really expensive. I talk to my Mother online and I text message with my Father most of the time. I see my in-laws often as they live nearby.

And I haven't written anything in quite a while. It's been over a year! We moved back to the Emirates last spring and we didn't have internet access until February. That's a long time without the internet, but it wasn't that bad actually. I did a lot more reading and we did a lot of dvd watching. In particular: One Tree Hill, which was cheap and looked interesting. I thought it was okay. I only bought the first three seasons though and that's all I've saw. And then we were addicted to Lost. Really addicted. We bought the seasons that were available on dvd and went through them quickly. We still have not seen the new season, but I've downloaded the episodes that have been on television so far and just need to stick them on a disc, so we can watch them. We bought new laptops in February as well and they have dvd writers, so I've been going a little nuts making dvds.

I also started working as an English teacher and Alyona attended nursery. We've pulled her out of the nursery because we're planning a trip to America to finish up my husbands greencard later this month, but I am planning on putting her on the waiting list for next year. The nursery is a really nice place and she really enjoys going, although in the past month or so so many sicknesses were going around that she was home most of the time. And when I received a note in her lunch bag that conjunctivitis was going around I really decided not to send her back again before the trip.

She talks a lot. Way, way, way more than before. Her new favourite word has been "naughty". And anybody who does anything she doesn't enjoy is "naughty". She says: sit down, come, hug, kiss, pig, cow, pony, circle, red, green, heart, star, papa naughty, i tickle, let's go, cookie, soup, draw, owwie, ouch, fall down, boom, car, vroom vroom, head, toes, feet, shoes, shirt, pants, nappy, boob, bird, water, let's go shopping, let's go sara, sleeping, baby, shh papa sleeping, shh baby sleeping, etc. As well as many Russian words and a few Arabic words. Her Russian was good at first and now it's English.

Anyway, I just thought I'd write an update to make up for a year of saying nothing.

What's your favorite heartbreak song?

That would be have to be Love Hurts by Nazareth. Cliché? Maybe!

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?  Why?

I'd definitely live in Krasnoyarsk. I love it there, but life doesn't always go the way you'd love for it to, so that's not possible for us right now. I'd love to be able to go back. Dd was born there and dh was born in a nearby village and it became my home during the time I lived there. At least the home in my heart.

How many places have you lived in your life?

A few places...
America: Colorado, Iowa, Kansas.
Russia: Krasnoyarsk.
United Arab Emirates: Sharjah.

I've been busy. We've been going back and forth on our moving situation. We keep having second thoughts. I'm not really attatched to Kansas and the idea of living here, but at the same time, it isn't that bad. Manhattan is a sorta cute town. We've decided to actually really look into work and the cost of rent and how hard it would be to find a place before we make a move. If dh got a job here, it would make it easier, because we'd be near family and then he could get actual work experience in America and we could get used to the life here, without being miles and miles away from people we know. I picked up a sunday paper today and we marked a few ads in the employment section and we'll try to call and find out more tomorrow. And to be unrealistic, I need an flat that'll let me have a kitty. Realisticly... I need a flat that will have either a washer and dryer or hookups. And I'd prefer more than one bedrooms, but that's another unrealistic desire at the moment.

I have lots of my reading list. I went to the library the day before yesterday and picked up a few books. Currently reading The Onion Girl by Charles DeLint. It's not too bad. My friend Amy reccomended it and I'm not regretting it. I don't get a whole lot of reading time, so it's getting read slowly. I love that the library here let's you take free dvd rentals!

I'm going to go and try to go rummage for a snack!

Mmm, I need to be in bed right now! My favourite subject was English.
