January List

Things I have done in January 2010 that I have never done before:

  1. Saw a Tanoura show.
  2. Visited Nader.
  3. Blood test. (for potential job)
  4. Went to Mogama' el Tahrir.
  5. Met a blogger friend!!! Who is an amazing friend indeed!
  6. abdominal ultrasound. (that same job)
  7. Went inside the great pyramid.
  8. Drove to the Giza Pyramids.
So yes, I might get the/a government job! And I am happy I had done all those things during what I had thought to be a very unproductive month!! Maybe set a target of ten new things during tiny February! What the? Why is it February already?

My mum's side of family is sort of having a reunion here in Cairo during the second week of February..and my sister turns 21 on the 21 which I think is SO FREAKING COOL! haha 21 on the 21! February is such a festive month! My mum's birthday, my sister's, Menna's, and a couple of more friends' birthdays. PLUS Valentine's- does anyone else think Valentine's is overrated?

How was your January?

I'm 26 on the 12th! Ah, where does time go?!

Crossing my fingers for the job for you!

And I just read a fascinating article about Giza this morning. DYING to visit. The pictures, the words that describe the pictures... beautiful.

AND, you would be proud... when I went to the grocery yesterday, I bought mostly healthy... banana's, granola, peaches, chicken and pasta... the only disgusting vice I gave into was mac and cheese. I indulged last night... 4 tablespoons of butter. ewwww, I feel so gross about it now!

I've always wanted to see the Pyramids of Egypt. Maybe in five years, I'll have the chance.

I agree with Valentines day being overrated. I especially hate it when I was single and feeling the pressure of finding a date. I'm married now but I still don't care much for it!

abigail said...

wow. that's an amazing January.

I am so happy it's february, because it means we're one month close to spring!

I feel like my January went by so fast that I don't even know what I did with it. Here's to February being a productive month for all!!

Dawn said...

Giza pyramids...that would be exciting! Yet another place I would love to visit someday (if I ever get out again...) As for the blood test, have you ever had your blood taken before? Or was that the first time?

Miss B said...

Why on earth would any potential employers need to see pictures of your insides? Unless that potential job involves, say, organ donation, or surrogate child-bearing. That seems...insanely invasive, really.

And Valentine's Day is a crock, totally. Though I love valentine's cards that feature funny animals or weird cartoons. Also, I love that my ex-lover's mother used to refer to it as VD Day. And she wasn't trying to be funny. Which is why it was so incredibly funny.

But tomorrow -- tomorrow is Groundhog Day! A holiday all about a rodent! What is not to love???

Farah said...

I dont know what others think of Vday but I'm totally going to be i hiding when it arrives! =s

Cait said...

I like Valentine's day because my dad always got each of us girls a rose, and our grandma usually sent chocolate ;)

But this is my first year ever being non-single, so that will be extra special =)
So exciting to hear of all the things you got done! That's a wonderful feeling.

Katie said...

I lovee family reunions :).
Hope your February's a good one.

My January was mixed. I got to spend most of it Cairo, which was amazing. But then I came back to Holland where it is cold and dark :(
I got to go to Starbucks a lot and see all my friends and family - so on the whole Jan was good :)
