Moving House


We should be. Sometime this week. Actually I'm being a bit too optimistic, but I am determined to move into my new dream house before Eid. I have had it. We have packed around 50% of our stuff (which are endless by the way) and we are currently living out of boxes, which can be very annoying.


We now have 2 Air conditioners installed on the second floor bedrooms, but are still waiting for the parquet people to arrive!! Also the rest of the AC units should be fixed this week.


I'm itching to scrub those floors and bathrooms, itching to clean the kitchen and start stacking my stuff in there...


Can't wait...its been 2 years of constant worry, back & forth visits to the site, the kids are getting restless, and so am I...


Will keep you posted on the latest progress...
Love,

I "heart" Cake


or any dessert of any kind for that matter...


But cake, is just sooo ..... sumptuous, especially when its slathered with the creamiest possible whipping cream or toffee syrup or chocolate... yumo
Cake just makes life better, the day lovelier...
Go on, take a slice out of life...

Egypt rock slide tragedy

Imagine sitting in the comfort of your tiny little home in some remote Egyptian village, the next thing you know, your ceiling comes crashing down on you, crushing you and the rest of your poor family to death.

The thoughts that went through their heads...

the fear...

the surprise...

the pain...


All this under the watchful eye of the governement. The people repeatedly warned them of cracks and movement in the huge boulders but their cries fell on deaf ears.


And the result more than 30 people killed, hundreds buried under tons of rock that slid over their shanty town...

That's life 4 ya ...

I have this urge to just pack and leave. Travel for a while, see a few places I haven't been to, be dazzled by nature's beauty and just some darn fresh air.

The weather is currently killing me. In addition to my allergies, the AC air is just isn't for me. Imagine me saying that in Bahrain? huh? Isn't that just funny... tragic actually. My joints ache due to the unnatural cold from artificial cooling systems, wish you could just open a darn window or something...

well... enough complaining. I can be quite bitchy when I'm thirsty. which I am by the way... totally. The weather isn't helping at all.

here I go again complaining, aaaah what the heck. Its my blog, so I guess I can let out some steam.

The house isn't helping either. We were supposed to move next week. I'm all packed! But no. We have to constantly chase the different suppliers and the waiting continues...

Have a nice day everyone. I sure have tried...

Peace,

Ramadan Kareem


Ramadan Kareem everyone.
A time for us to give everything a break, from stuffing ourselves blind to reflecting on the state of the world.


I love the temporary change in routine that Ramadan brings. The absence of food & drink during the day allows for more time to think of my life, my career, my future, my beliefs. I've always had this sort of feeling, of cleansing, of purity, of serenity during the Holy Month.


I wish you all a serene Ramadan
وكل عام وانتم بخير
