Happy Thoughts.....
Last night, after the gloomy phase, I began to focus on the bright side,yaaaaaaaaaaaay,Im back to being a "normal" human, I think( but dont bet on it YET). So as I was lying in bed staring at the ceiling as I always do, happy go lucky thoughts knocked on the door. Hellooooo can we come in please, you need some cheering up. Hmm now how did they figure that out???Isnt it abit late barging into someones thoughts in the middle of the night? But I was in a dire need to party and so I greeted them with a weary smile......
Happy thoughts: Hi there NW oh cmon cheer up, dont look so sullen, here have a cigarette and enjoy the surprise we have instore for you
NW: yummyyyyyy ciagrettes, just what I need...
Then out of the blue Happy Thoughts jumped on me and blind folded me (hey kewl, maybe im being kidnapped and then HUBBY will come to look for me, grrreat!!!)
Happy Thoughts: NW hold our hands(make sure you dont burn us with that) and we will guide you to a beautiful place
NW: ohhhhhhhhhhh NOOOOOOOOO, please no, not there
Happy Thoughts: Just shut your mouth and come, no questions
NW: hmmm are Happy thoughts allowed to be rude?(thinking what a bad idea this is)
But I succumbed to their orders,(hoping for this to be over and done with) took their hands and for the first time, allowed someone to guide me to the uknown.....
After some time we arrived and Happy Thoughts removed the blindfold and OMG, the scenes I saw gave me so much warmth and longing.....I saw myself waking up next to HUBBY with his arms around me(me getting suffocated from their weight,offff) I try using my flexibility(dont try this at home) to get away from his grasp as quietly as I possibly can to stop him from waking up, and I get out of bed. I head to reach the bathroom, but I stumble, I look down, and there are piles and piles of pants, socks, shoes and polo shirts on the floor. Oh noooooooo I just fixed his things last night, Grrrrrrrrrr, how many times do I have to pick these up and sort them out, why are men sooooo messy,god. So I attempt a long jump and reached the bathroom with no injuries(thank god)... As I enter I find another pile of towels and a bathrobe on the floor, just great, and cans upon cans of coca cola, this man has a serious addiction problem, another thing to change in the future,hehe.
Then another scene flashes before me, I was standing over the stove cooking that unedible horrible mulookhiya and then HUBBY stands behind me and wraps his arms around my waist looking at the weird concoction before us. Then opens the cupboard and adds every single spice and herb he can find, hmm, bad bad idea HUBBY,another thing to add to my to do list: keep a lock on that cupboard.
Yet a different scene comes along, HUBBY and I in the car, he takes hold of my hand with his right one, and we keep driving, come a roundabout, come a hump, HUBBY keeps holding my hand tightly, I love that...
The last scene that fought its way through was us in bed, getting ready to sleep, AC on full blast and me shivering like a lost bunny, HUBBY jumps up puts a DVD and switches the PLAY,and there right infront of me, my worst nightmare, STAR TREK (the enterprise) AGAINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN. (next time I'll have a garage sale and give these out as a giveaway presents,hehe)But I do end up sleeping and for the first time in a long long time there's a smile lingering on my face, and the warmth is still in me.
Thanx Happy Thoughts for coming my way, do please visit me again oh and dont forget to visit HUBBY, he might just get sentimental and come back(wishful thinking I know,but no harm in trying ;-) )

Star Trek in Iraq!!!!
You are truly the Iraqi Blogging Goddess.
Just wanted to say I really enjoy reading your blog. Your obvious love for your husband shines through every post, and after 32 years of marriage, brings back fond memories of my lump of flesh asleep on the couch. I pray for both of you, and greatly appreciate what hubby is doing for Iraq and the rest of us.
Regars,
M
finally! some happy thoughts:))
me*
Ihath, these happy go lucky thoughts came to visit me after you asked them to,lol.Mr ghost,although in the post, I was talking about the time HUBBY and I spent it together during his last vacation which was in the States, but as far as I know, there are DVD's in Iraq, of every single movie that is available anywhere in the world, and in one blog, cant remember which one, it talks about Xrated dvd's as well. So in Iraq you find everything and anything...
And M, thanks for the lovely comment I definitely do love HUBBY, but you never know maybe after 32 years, we might both end up in a kookoo clinic,hehe
Khalid ya Khalid, there are always Happy thoughts but you have to dig real deep to find them
Okay, thanks for the correction. Glad you're feeling better too. I believe that about the X-rated DVDs.
And don't forget Viagra too. I bet there's a lot of Iraqi women cursing Viagra these days.
hmmph! Trek rocks.
Molokhiya--- sucks. I don't think Ive ever met a (southern) Iraqi who eats it. Everything is tomatoes, mareg upon mareg (and don't forget the fish, too)
