The weekend is coming up, so what are your plans. I actually started a little early (like today ) yeah I am chilling lounging, Wifi and all, drinking dirty Mexican kool aid That’ll be the code name for Corona from now on
It’s been a long time since I actually anticipated a weekend, a little over a month.
So you guys plan your weekend or enjoy it on the fly?

I know someone would be very happy if you were back in Egypt so soon, young at heart.

It seems like the ladies here are going to have a great time. Cheers ladies.
Marydotapple … liss'sa za3lanah minny? [are u still upset with me? ] So where are you moving from and to where are you moving to? Moving is very stressful but you are right very exciting too.
I am going to celebrate my happiness I am so sick of people who said don't do this and don't do that. I am sure you guys know that type the ones who never take chances in life and prefer to just live a routine life.

Mabrook Marydotapple on your apartment, and in London too. I guess that makes you a millionaire to approximately 90% of the world's inhabitants.
You seem resilient, patient and determined
Beautiful qualities
Cheers

I also love Heineken, it's very drinkable. Well we could possible code-name it Dutch Piss. It will become confusing eventually so how about 'kool aid' being the universal code-word for all brews.

It's Thursday Night time and I hope you enjoy it no matter where you are in this very small world. Those of you who live in Egypt know that Thursday evenings are special for most people and not simply because it is the weekend. I will quote(loosely) an ES member from the past:
"If the sky in Cairo were to fall on a Thursday Night, women's legs would hold it up"
Ahahahahahahaha
Well once again enjoy your Thursday Night. We'll probably head out to Tche Tche Café in Abdoun but one thing is for sure there won't be any booze for me tonight - due to tommorow's sermon.
peace

Hmmmm, I'm doing nothing but trying to put the house together before step-kids come over this weekend. I think this is a losing battle! I wanna be out having fun like the rest of you!

I’m glad to here some of you are in relax-mode. Snoozin Allah Ma3ak (May Allah be with you).
I had a great time last night. Today is however another story and it is really silly. I mean when we came home last night, all was well, we came come and watched a couple of episodes of “Lost” season 2. Anyway so afterwards I decided to gut and clean some Hokie fish that we will eat today. So I labored for one whole hour scaling, gutting, cleaning and making them into fillets. I even cleaned up 90% afterwards. I did that last night so I wouldn’t have to deal with the fishiness of it all today, on a Friday.
Long story short I explicitly told my wife to divide the fish in half. You see it turned out to be a lot (they were frozen). I chose to buy frozen because the price is 4x more when they are fresh. Anyway, so I awoke and what do I see?!
The Fish is seasoned all the same. Some turmeric, some parsley, garlic, etc, etc. I am tired of eating them that way and so I wanted to try a new dish today. And really I would have cooked the one portion of the fish.
So my feelings are definitely hurt because I was looking forward to it. 1 whole hour dealing with fish and this was my reward.
Yes I am pouting right now and I won’t talk to her for a couple of hours if not more. Teach her ass a lesson. It’s really all silly but I want to sulk
Hmmphh

Once again there is peace in the Middle East. :-) The view from this place is just awesome but there are too many people in the terrace and I don’t want to infringe or look like some dumb tourist.
Hold on, maybe I could sneak one …. Did it and it’s a good one. I am standing on the terrace of the café on Jabal Amman and what you’re looking at is East Amman or the Ghettos on the opposite mountain.
I'll post it on the food section as we can't post pics here ... hold up

Three more hours of work to go until it's officially the weekend. This day is dragging, whereas the rest of the week just flew!
My parents rented a condo right on the beach for a week so my son and I are going down tomorrow morning. I'll only be there the weekend as I think the commute would be 1 1/2 hours each way and I really don't want to do that, but my son will stay all week with them.
I'm really looking forward to it, as this place is fairly secluded and the nearest town is a mostly immigrant farming community.
The condo faces right out to the ocean, unobstructed view. It's simply heavenly. *sigh*
The only thing to figure out is how to be comfortable in long sleeves and a hijab on the beach. lol Not that I ever wore bathing suits to the beach anyways, but short sleeves would be nice.
We'll see what happens.
Yay for the beach! Posts: 1283 | From: Cairo | Registered: Feb 2006

Wow that sounds wonderful And think about purchasing one of those Islamic swim suits. The relaxing and beautiful view should be enough.

I don't wear hijab when I'm in the states but I do wear this when I'm at the pool. I don't swim though. I went to Florida in April and wore it everynight when my daughters and I would go in the hottub. It's ok to walk in the pool with it to cool off but I don't know how it would be to swim laps in. I do know someone who does that and she says it's fine but I think it would take too much energy with the extra weight of the fabric. Anyway it's cool 'cause it doesn't cling as you would think it would when coming out of the water and it dries almost instantly.
I won't wear it in Alex when I'm there in two weeks though 'cause I don't swim in the ocean. I live on the ocean here in Boston and my kids and I walk the beach a lot and I just wear my skirt and shirt and get my feet wet.
