I am...



...folding laundry. (right now and enjoying the meditative rhythm it entails)
...counting the hours for our family's big reunion with our rock. 20 hours 42 minutes and counting...
...missing my babies when they're at school but enjoying alone time.
...cooking, baking and cleaning.
...waiting for my photography class this July.
...listening to Personalized music radio, and is grateful for this strange technology.
...shocked at disturbing scenes shown on Mad Men and derived from American recent history.
...grateful how we've come a long way. I am rooting for Egypt at the moment.
...reminded that sometimes I am "the other" and working hard at my own prejudices.

Ninety two degree and muggy today. I am already filling the kiddie pool for when my darlings are here.

"Mom, you know, America has a birthday!"
"And when is that?"
"On the fourth of July mama"
"Right!" ( stoopid foreigner {thinking to my self})

Here's our moment from the week:

Happy fourth weekend everyone.

Peace:)

Wishing the world a brighter future. To our brothers and sisters in the middle east, Japan, and all over the world, stay strong. This too shall pass...

And wishing you a lovely weekend.

Peace.

moments, lists and links ::

This is my moment for this week. Smitten Kitchen's Butternut Squash Galette. It was so good I had it for breakfast the next day cold.

Inspiring::

I've been carrying trash in my pockets, bags and later car ever since I was in school. Check out this inspiring initiative. I hope it spreads in every little nook in Cairo. Do spread the word!

Loving::

The Makwagy (the ironing shop down our street, essential for every Egyptian's household, will iron all your clothes for next to nothing. Heart, sigh )

Wanting::

 This book! and this one too.

Sewing::

To THIS show. Seriously, go have a listen, if you're not hooked already!

I am breaking the no words rule this week, to share with you an Eid tradition that started, oh about six years ago. Every Eid we eat out, get invited or simply make our own pancakes breakfast. The main two ingredient are all of our growing family must be present and it has to be Pancakes.
Eid Mubarak!

Peace.
