Some of my favorite things......


This is our bathroom sink. What I LOVE about this sink area is that Tom installed those wonderful globe lights (yes, one has a broken globe but we're just ignoring that) and that stretchy mirror. For those of you who are as blind as I am, I get SOO tired of leaning over sinks to get my face into focus. This is a significant problem when 9 months pregnant..... I enjoy this every day (= Not like I"m putting make up on everyday mind you! Too hot and pregnant for that.













This is my big, extravagant American washing machine. Very run-of-the-mill for you all in the US, but these are not common here and we had friends who reccomend just buying it when we arrived. I think they had gone through 4 washers combined in 5 years at the time (= So, grateful for the advice I love this and use it all the time.

My favorite feature is that you can actually wash a TINY load. With water being the way it is here (another post: getting ANY control over water temperature in the summer) it is helpful to do small loads when I want (=

It is actually sitting over the place where the arab toilet goes. Tom's idea and installation - wonderful.

The whole time we were in the US we missed our bed. I've already mentioned this. Someone once said it looked like furniture out of Pride and Prejudice. It is a very hysterically over-done set which is VERY arab. What is even funnier is if you realize that we hunted to get the least elaborate set with NO GOLD PINEAPPLES carved into every space. Needless to say, this is not from IKEA (= We love it though!!
