A day in the life of.....

Ok. Here's a typical weekend day. Are you ready? Do you think you can handle the massive heart pounding excitement? If so, read on....

Slept in this morning - pure bliss. The husband made a bit of fried meaty hot breakfast (pre-flavoured with maple syrup - oh yeah...). We all got dressed in nice clothes and headed for our place of prayer. This morning I wore a very comfortable but colorful kurta (navy blue and hot pink with embroidery and beadwork), blue jeans, and pink blingy sandals that matched my kurta. There was a jumble sale going on to raise money for government approved charities. Munchkin #1 scored about 4 Lego sets (2 were Star Wars), and Munchkin #2 scored a Polly Pocket set and 3 new Polly dolls. Needless to say, my purse had a touch less money in it when we left!

After leaving our place of prayer, we headed for a local shopping mall. I had seen an AWESOME bookcase for a really great price yesterday. I wanted the husband to see it before I laid down the cash. He loved it. It'll be delivered tomorrow morning (enshallah). It's going in the reading corner of our family room.

Next in this thrilling day, we needed food. We headed for the mall's food court. Munchkin #2 had Italian (she's getting some wheat now), Munchkin #1 had a nice big Subway, the Husband had some disgusting American hamburger (truly, totally gross. Dripping with grease...yuck). I had Lebanese - shish taook (grilled chicken kabab), hommous, and flat bread. Yum, yum, yum.

Once we all had full tummies, it was time to brave the grocery store. The produce area is the most interesting on a weekend. People do not really wait in an orderly fashion to have their veg weighed and priced. They jostle and push and shove. Today, I had one guy shove in front of me and then try to take my cucumbers! I said, "Hey those are mine!" His reply, "No they are mine." The lady behind me, British, proclaimed to the man, "You jumped the queue and now you're trying to take her vegetables!" He left in a hurry. Really, just a typical weekend grocery store outing. Never thought I'd holler at a strange man for trying to take veg from me in a grocery store. Yes, this is an interesting place.

Now, we are comfortably home. I've had a cup of coffee and am currently fighting with my printer to print my son's photos he took for his science project. The husband is taking a nap, Munchkin #2 is playing in her room with a movie running on the kids' laptop, and Munchkin #1 is busy playing with Lego.

Maybe I should just go for a walk on the beach?
