xmas and snow

So now it's back to the "real world" and stuff I have to do.
Outside it's snowing and my cats are going nuts; what is all this cold white stuff everywhere?

It's weird cause my friend in Egypt has never seen snow. This Australian girl I met in Berlin was all excited about seeing it. It's just that growing up in the Midwest snow is like the sky; it's always there. But when I went to Egypt my oohh oohh stuff was the palm trees.
So I was determined to see the Med Sea and the Red Sea and I saw both. I saw the surface of Saudi Arabia (I had read a book about it a year before). I saw camels and donkeys everywhere; although I'm not sure I see the point of riding donkeys.
But just thinking of what I want to do, it occurred to me I can go to Egypt and work on a farm; maybe then I can help the animals plus ride horses. I have my morning running routine or exercise of some kind; just something I have to do, but if I can work that in and have my own bathroom and room (I really need these things)......maybe in Dahab.
SO I'm reading about the tsunami wave in THailand, and I almost went to SE Asia rather than Egypt. I would have left by the 23rd, so I'd have missed this. I can't believe the awfulness; it makes me question God/dess.....why would S/He allow this: children dying, animals, but a European honeymoon couple survives. No one deserves to die in this thing; but at least my Egypt friends are safe. Maybe there's something I can do....????????
THis is non-related, but it's interesting how you can be attracted to certain people and not others. SOmeone you're drawn to may not even be the best looking or whatnot, but they have je ne sais quoi or something; astrology says it's planetary compatibility or chemistry. My opinion is either it's there or it's not; you can't make it happen. If you know what I mean.
