One More Blog

I just got an e-mail from a friend wondering if everything is OK? I haven't blogged in awhile. I guess I did not keep my promise to myself that I would blog more often. Sorry about that for all of you who are looking for updates. Then when I checked the blog I saw how far behind I am in what has been going on. Well, nothing much to be honest. It seems like since Alison and Alex were here, we have been Dubai'd out and took a much needed break.
Last Friday we went to a souke at Wafi City. One of the malls here. It was really nice. WE had lunch in the outdoor restaurant there and then shopped most of the afternoon. I did some haggling over a pashmina scarf and Ed said I was doing really well. I eventually didn't buy it, but it was fun trying to get the guy down in price. Saturday morning while the boys slept in, Ed and I went to the beach to get some sun. It is starting to get hot and the beach is awesome this time of year. Then in the late afternoon we went to Ibn Battuta Mall and had our picture taken for a glass piece that I have wanted since we came here last year. It will be a really nice souvenier of our time here in Dubai. It is a picture of all four of us in 3D inside a glass block with a picture of the Burj Al Arab and the words Dubai 2007 to 2009. I can't wait to pick it up and see how it turned out. After dinner there at the mall, we came home and got ready for another busy week.
It has been busy too. I worked two full days this week along with 3 half days (I know I am really spoiled!). But when I work long days, till I get home, do dinner for the guys and get ready for the next day, it is time for bed. Ed traveled all week. Tonight it is Thursday evening and Ed and I have been asleep on the sofa since about 8 PM. WE are getting so old.
Tomorrow we are going back to the beach and soak up some more sun and then I am not sure about the rest of the weekend. We will see. But I promise to blog more. WE are all excited about the move back to NY and it is coming fast - only seven more weeks. But who is counting.
