Note to self: If I get a chance over the weekend I should write about the following -
* My birthday bonanza = FAB!
The Chedi is amazing & the staff were great (thankfully it was the weekend before Cyclone Phet). My 3 hour spa treatment left me thinking I was a celebrity AND feeling as good as Thandi Newton & Ashly Judd look.
FYI - they are my favourite actresses, hands down, no cigar. I'm not gay but for them...pause.
* We have a new addition @ work and it feels like I'm back in HS. Ever seen the movie Mean Girls? Ok so you can't really compare American HS girls to working women in abayas - maybe I need to stop watching Gossip Girl because it is numbing my brain?
* I wanted to buy a juicer for summer = we bought a juicer + 32" LCD for the bedroom.
Did we need it? No.
Was it because of the World Cup? No.
Was it for the NBA finals serious? Hell Yes ;)
Boston all the way baby!
* My deferred Arabic classes.
Alas I was defeated by the Sudanese 'Master of the Gab' who kept (kindly) demanding that we all give more effort. Abdul Rahman is a lovely man.
Result? I quit, period. Khalas (see - it didn't all go to waste).
* I attended my 1st (but insha'allah not my last) Omani wedding. WOW.
I even had a friend do my eye-makeup Arabic style.
* Our fridge & freezer have been broken, which is not good when its 40+ degrees and you are trying to eat healthily. Fingers crossed it is fixed today, so I can buy carrots, celerey, fruit, ginger & mint to juice up a storm.
* Duma is off to Taipei in mid July for a basketball trip. It is well earned I can assure you!!!
* I was invited to play in a 'friendly' basketball tournament in Dubai - all costs covered - but bloody work & the different Oman/UAE weekends got in the way. Again.
#Prays to HM Sultan Qaboos# Pretty please change our weekend to Friday & Saturday. Calls back home & trips away would be SO much easier if this was the case...
And thats all for now folks, hopefully I will have some time to add more details on Thursday. Masalaama!
Is your new juicer big enough to fit Paul Pierce and Ray Allen inside it? You could have them for breakfast .. like the Lakers are about to :)
ReplyDeleteLake show, baby!
- Ross
I am eating humble pie right now Rossco :(
ReplyDeleteLakers deserved the win because they were consistent throughout the series, but had Ray Allen hit a 1/4 of the shots he took it would have been Boston all the way!
Lovely eyes wallah ^-^
ReplyDeleteThanks NCP for the love. I thought she did a great job, pity the rest of my face stopped traffic for all the wrong reasons lol!
