Just in case anyone besides me is interested in...umm...me, I decided to put a face to a name, and also tell you how to pronounce that name. I know I get preconceptions about people based on what I imagine they must be like, so I hope the grim reality doesn't alienate anyone.
First, my name is pronounced Ko'dree-yuh, with a long "o" and the accent on the first syllable. Kinda like "Gloria" ...
This picture is me and youngest son Qusay, taken around 3 years ago. I don't have a lot of pictures of me, because I'm always taking pictures of the monster and brother Uday, instead. I think I'm imitating Yul Brynner singing "Shall We Dance" from The King and I here, and the poor kid is too young to be embarrassed.
And finally, just in case anyone cares what I sound like, you can click here for my first (and last) attempt at audioblogging. When I hear myself, I can't believe that's what I really sound like, and vow to never speak again.
Anyway, this is me. I hope no one is overly disappointed.
