I can't believe that it has been almost 4 months since I last blogged. It is like turning on the water in a faucet that has been shut off for awhile.....sputter.... sputter....drip....drip. I have missed this hobby of mine and many times this summer I have wanted to post. Trouble is, what I was doing all summer probably wasn't that interesting to most people. Bathroom door knobs....brushed nickle or aged pewter??? Yes there is a difference. These are the questions I have been pondering as we have been fixing up our house in Colleyville. Now that I'm back in Abu Dhabi I haven't thought about hardware once and am ready to get back to observations of my life in the desert. First, cogitate with me some of the things these blue eyes observed while I was home.....
1. I know that the "old world" style is very popular, but when did all the new subdivisions in Texas start to look like the Loire Valley? Am I in Tuscany or Plano? Do we really need turrets in Texas? Are we the only state in America with an identity crisis? Trust me, they are not building Texas Ranch houses in France. What is next, moats and drawbridges?
2. Spam-A-Lot made me Laugh-A-Lot
3. Texas needs roundabouts and good trains.
4. I liked the new dine-in movie theater. Saw Harry Potter with my 22 year old because none of her friends would go with her.
5. There are way too many Viagra commercials.
It is good to be back in the blogging saddle....more thoughts tomorrow... drip...drip

Juli,
Loved your perspective of "life in Texas". We've been here so long, we forget to ponder the things that "jumped out at you," such as ranch houses in France and way too many Viagra commercials on TV. I agree!!

Hi Juli,
I am kind of sad that you have started blogging again. Now my picture will no longer be the first thing you see at Blue Eyesight! Actually someone is building a moat around their house in Dublin! This is the truth! I will try to sneak on the property and take pictures for you. Tell David we said hello!
Love,
Su BFF
Hi Juli,
Just read your entire blog history in one sitting! Good to hear your voice in my head again. We've had a busy summer with the move and I would love to hear more about the faucets you are picking out. My first time at trying this so I'm not sure it will go through. Hello to David. love, jenny ;-)
Hi Juli-Wish we could have gotten 2gether this summer. Next time. You are right-way to many Viagra, bra, kotex, etc commercials here.
We were in Plano this weekend for Hannah's soccer tournament. Much nicer weather than The Woodlands.
Keep blogging-its great learning about another country.
Hugs to you and David.
Please post-a-lot cause they make me smile-a-lot! I promise to comment-a-lot!
love-a-lot,
Katie
