-I am doing a lot better than last week. Thank god they were understanding at work!
It was an experience for me to be more careful and never assume that here or there is safe.

-We are hearing not very good news from Iran these days. I felt so bad for people because of the new limitations on gasoline, 100 liter gasoline per month is really small amount for a person that needs to drive every day, especially for those who were driving people around to have some money and don’t have official taxi. Some poor people provide for their family just by driving people around the town. This is so sad!
Again hearing this news made some people telling us that may be tension stretches in Iran and it is not a good time for traveling there. We cannot get any refund for our ticket any way, the funny thing is we used to buy insurance on our tickets all the time but this time we decided not to because we never used the insurance and we always traveled.
Now I am thinking may I should have bought insurance on my ticket! Any way we wait and see what will happen, may be we all go may be my husband cancels and doesn’t go with us! I really hope we all can go!

-We will have guests from France (my Husband’s cousin and his family) next week; they will be here until the end of July but will travel to Los Angeles, San Francisco and may be Vancouver Canada. That would be some extra work for me at home! My husband is taking some time off to take them to sight seeings and will do most of the house work hopefully! But it will impact me any way! I get tired faster these days, by the time it is 7:00 P.M I am ready to go to bed!!

Not Lucky days!!

At work we are on call about every 4 months so if some issue comes up after working hours we can fix it at home or where ever we are. That’s why we all have lap tops and wireless Internet connection.
This month was my turn to be on call. On Saturday we were invited to my husband’s friend’s house. I thought to myself I better take my lap top in case some thing happens I don’t need to go back home, any way I took it with me when we came back home it was almost mid night and I left my lap top and purse inside the car and forgot to take them inside. We locked the car and it was parked in the back yard (our house has drive way to the back yard and has room to park car). Any way when my husband wanted to go to his football game on Sunday morning we found out that some one had broken to the car by breaking front window and took lap top and my purse! I would never think such a thing happens in our neighborhood, our neighborhood is supposed to be very safe!
I was so upset more for laptop than my own wallet with all the credit cards and Driver license and some cash in it! We called the police right a way and I called my boss, He tried to console me and said its ok, I will ask our security administrator to disable all your accounts. I and my husband called all the credit card companies and bank (thank god, the customer service is open even on Sunday). Fortunately none of my cards were charged!
Any way it has been a big hassle and at work I should give a report and they will decide that it was negligence from my side or not if they decide it was my negligence I should pay for the laptop which is about $2000. I am still very upset about the whole thing especially work laptop, I am a responsible person especially when it comes to my work and it never happened to me that I lose some work property and now this happened!

On the other hand we had a stupid issue with the pervious owner of our house that we thought is over but got a letter from our lawyer that they still want to peruse their claim. Their claim is so unreasonable but unfortunately in US people can easily make claim against each other, if it is stupid, like this one they will lose but lawyers get good money out of that! This news made me and my husband very upset, although we know we are innocent about their claim and they won’t win if they peruse their claim but still it is a hassle for us, our lawyer believes that they are bluffing and they won’t peruse, it is already 4 years and if they wanted to peruse any thing they would do it earlier!

Any way last couples of days were not much fun and although I tried to calm down for the sake of baby I am still upset!

I truely hope that we are not in bad luck stage! especially with events that are coming up like traveling to Iran and new baby!!

Just a new post!

-We went to Movie Theater last night to watch Ocean 13, it was the first night of showing the movie. I really like George Clooney and Andy Garcia, they are both so handsome to me, although I should admit that they are aging these days and it shows! but still very handsome.
My husband knows how much I like them so he agreed to come with me to watch the movie. The Movie itself was all right; kind of similar to the first one but this time they had Al Pachino playing too!

-I am going for my sonogram this coming Thursday, so far I feel good, no nausea! I did not have nausea when I was first time pregnant either. I feel very positive since I am pregnant with this baby, actually I think I got pregnant around my Birthday and that was the time I made a deal with myself to enjoy life more and stress less, I have been following that so far, and may be part of it is the positive energy that this baby is giving to me.
I hope that I have a smooth pregnancy to the end and have a healthy baby, which is the most important thing to me!

-About going to Iran, I am a little concerned for my husband, although the few people that have been arrested in Iran with American citizenship were all activist and have done some thing to oppose the Islamic regime and were not just ordinary citizens but I tell to myself, what if they
Accuse him of something! He is kind of doubtful himself, but really wants to come. I asked friends and family in Iran about the current situation and the way they treat, Iranians with other nationality but every one says they won't bother regular people. I hope so.
If any of you have had a recent passenger, especially from US let me know how they treated him when he came to Iran! It is a big pity that we should worry to travel to our own home land where belongs to us, and were we are rooted!!!!!!!!!
