neurotic Iraqi wife

New Template
Any comments or ideas are very welcome.
Fifteen years ago, I called myself the neurotic Iraqi wife. This was my profile: A confession, I have finally joined the neurotic wife club!!!Is there such a thing? This blog is about me being an Iraqi wife whose husband chose to rebuild his country over building his new life with his new wife, ME!!! Fast forward, and today we are no longer married. But we are co parents to two beautiful kids. Am I still neurotic? Maybe, maybe not. I guess you will just have to find out :)
I am an Iraqi woman who absolutely adores her HUBBY, but HUBBY is too busy rebuilding the country.

Wow ...looks good but for a moment I thought I was on the wrong site! Haven't commented recently but with many of your other readers I am amazed at your heading back to work in Iraq especially as you won't have hubby by your side. It's not too late to change your mind. Geee...I bet I sound like your mother here...guess that's cos I am one. Other reasons too but too sensitive to post. Why not hold onto safety while you have the chance. Blessings to you whatever you decide.
Nice update, I like the new look.
But like others I am surprised that you are heading back to Iraq, sadly I think we are entering the 'end game’ and the situation is only going to get worse.
One question: Is that really you in the picture?
Hye beams, long time, I havent seen you commenting for awhile now...Well, I would feel better if I was there in the same country. I wont have my guilty conscious working. I already am stressed out as it is...So are all moms like that??? God I think I will be worse than my mom. If I had a daughter what Im doing, I will probably ground her,lol...
Anon, so u like it??? Good. It looks abit odd, maybe takes time to get used to it. The situation is getting worse, But I wanna be with my husband. I joke and tell him, if anything does happen to me, I want him to feel "real guilty".lol. And yes this is me, not my double. It may not be a good idea to post my pic since Im going back to Iraq, but its only a profile....
Thanks for the reply, and I can only wish that you and your husband stay safe.
I know this is a long shot, but there is growing concern regarding the safety of 'Riverbend' perhaps the most famous of all the Iraq bloggers. She hasn't updated in the longest time. Have you heard anything?
Hi Anon, Yeah Im getting concerned too. I dont know RB personally, so I cant really say. Maybe she left the country or I dunno, is busy with her publishing. I really hope she is doing ok. Lets not jump to conclusions.
I like the template!! I must say that you figured it all out and I STILL don't know how to do all of that!
I enjoy reading your blog.
Best wishes!
Hello neurotica,
It is great and the good thing about the tempalte, you made the font size bigger, yea because I have stigmatism, and it is hard for me to stick my eyes into the monitor...
I was always imagining your face, and I was close too, you are the same girl I imagined...except for your hais, I thought it is black...:)
Any how, please take care when you are on your way to your native country!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...... its hard to read.. the colors.... :(
Please change it back...
MM, I enlarged them even more, just for u. infact looks much better now.
Thanx WR, what happened to your blog. I tried to check it out, it gave me a broken URL.
Anon, Oh cmon!!!!! Why, whats wrong with the colours???I personally like this one. Im telling you it takes time to get used to. But what do u mean hard to read??? Its clear as crystal, and I btw, need really high prescription lenses in my normal times.... Oh dont disappoint me....
When I saw your new picture I got a pang in my
heart. Your old picture was
etherial and I could almost pretend you were not
real. This picture is
sharp, vivid, real. I wondered what caused that emotion to well up in me and upon examination I found I view you as a friend and I am having the natural reaction one would upon learning a dear
friend is going into harm's way.
WR, yella write something. When I didnt find ur URL, I immediately felt weird. Like as if you changed your mind. Dont do that. Everyone has a story, cmon, go ahead and say it...Im all ears...
Bob, Wow....I read your words and myy heart constricted. Wow, thanx for your kind words, altho simple, yet they made such a strange impact on me. Dont worry, Ill be ok, and after my time in Iraq, I will ask you to invite me for a coffee. How abt that??? Dont forget. But if u aint a smoker, then you will definitely be a passive one once with me...I again thank you. Thanx for your concern
Very nice template and beautiful colour scheme. Ramadan is working wonders with you!!!!!!!
Doesn't apply here,tell me your recipe please.
As much as I love the Irish colors, I have to admit that reading white text on that bright green is very difficult. Perhaps you'll considering darkening the green or perhaps make the commentary text in black. For readability's sake.
