Weekend Magic

I love the fact that is finally the weekend!
I have had an adorable week, I have an amazing boyfriend and out-of-this world friends.

Let me explain.

On Wednesday, I went to work with my iPod full of pretty songs (Thank you for your suggestions, everyone!) and around midday, Mohammed had personally delivered flowers to the office (how cute is he?)
After work, I napped a little, then around sunset (time for iftar, first meal of the day when we're fasting) we went to this gorgeous outdoor restaurant (Makani Live) to find the best friends I have made along the years!!
It was such a great surprise! All the people special to me.

Amr, Yehia, Sondos, Sara, Sarah, Hussien...later came Tamamy, Aya, Menna, Serag, Nader, Messiry, Wessam and my brother, sisters and mother were there...

 My brother, sisters and I (would you have ever guessed I am the eldest?)

Well to me, this was beyond imagination, because my life is a series of phases, and I have different yet very special friends during each. And these are all the special people from each phase!! From school, university and post-uni. But they are the sort that will always be special and dear to me.

the three Sara(h)s
 
Tamamy killed me and stuck the knife in Mohammed's mouth

I wish I could post pictures of everyone! But these aren't even my pictures, they are Sara's (my friend..obviously) I have lots of Sara's in my life! I do!
So yes, this is my first weekend as a 22 year old, I am still not used to it and I know one thing, I- more than ever- want to go to Paris.

Oh and I believe in magic!

Have yourself a magical weekend everyone! Make it worthwhile, make it give you a reason to smile on your way to work/school on Sunday/Monday. Let me know how it went :)

(for those of you who don't live in Egypt, our week starts on Sunday, ends on Thursday)
PS Jen passed her exams and is attending sixth form!

I'm so sorry I haven't been posting and commenting too much. I'm still around; schoolwork and such is simply stealing all my time ):
I miss you, too.
But it makes me unbelievably happy to hear what a great time you're having :)
