Points to Ponder

A Market in Doha selling prayer rugs, diwaniya cushions and other seating options. During the season of Ramadan, much visiting is done with family. I don't have any of these but intend to purchase a couple before I depart. If you're from PR and you want to visit this place, Becca P can take you right there.
The list below came from my colleague and friend TC in our Art Department. This is about where my head is right now. We're getting ready for the new school year, and as teachers know, it's a zoo. Plus, I'm covering for our Head of Department (HOD) while he and his wife are celebrating the birth of their first child back in the USA. I never want to be a HOD after this...way too much paperwork.
All is well with the Browns. We are set to celebrate the Eid Al Fitr (end of Ramadan) tomorrow...we think. Some special person in Saudi Arabia gets to look at the moon tonight and decide if it's in the right place, or something like that (not making this up, it's completely true)

So, to my friends in North America and beyond, Ramadan Kareem

Love, N

Things That Haunt Me (A shortened list)
Why do we put our two cents in but it's only a penny for your thoughts? What happens to that other penny?

Why does a pizza that's round come in a square box?

What disease did "Cured" ham actually have?

Why is Bra singular but Panties plural?

And my favorite...

The statistics on Insanity say that one out of four people suffer from some form of Mental Illness..if you look to three of your friends and they're alright...then it's YOU!!

PS

There's a whole list, if you're interested, send me an email

hello! been following your blog! i've been in kuwait 3 years now. a good place to find prayer rugs is at the gulf emporium at al manshar mall in fahaheel. the gentleman who owns the shop is super nice and always gives us great deals. we've bought 2 prayer rugs from him and some larger ones for our family. he used to have 3 store fronts but then the rent got too high so he's condensed it all into one shop.

Hi Shanna...it would be fun to meet. Thanks for the advise. I don't know this place. It would be fun to go. Where do you live in Kuwait? Thanks for posting. And Ramadan Kareem to you also!
