My Eid so far… September 30, 2008

Awal shay 3eedkom imbarak o taqabal allah 6a3atkom o 3sakom min 3wadah… Although im told people who are in mournign must not say “3eekom imbarak” … is that true???

So, the verdict on going to dubai was a big fat NO… i cant, and my husband cant. We are unable to even make our lunch reservations for tommorow… so i swapped my snoopy pajams with my favourite cookie monster purple Tshirt with a big fat whole in it… and grey sweats… kinda brushed my hair a bit, then put on some vicks vaporup on my nose and throat, took some actifeed and antibiotics… and stayed wrapped infront of the tv, not really switched on, reading a novel by Emily Giffin called Something Borrowed. At least im able to read and concentrate again…

If im a bit better i might drive with my family to the chalet tommorow… though i hate it. If im not, as my throat is burning, my head is buzzing, and my ears and nose are blocked … I dont know im just weak.

Is it true? if there is a member of the family that is gone, his immediate family are not supposed to gather and have lunch together? or say 3eedkom imbarak greetings? I get the part where no makeup, and no new clothes and no 3yadee for the kids… but why is lunch a big no?

Anyways, eid is boring in Kuwait… nothing to do… guess will stay wrapped up with the vicks and actified and emily griffin until im due for work next Sunday…

Oh and i will continue writing the Beauty and the Beast Series … but on third day of 3eed when all the hoopla have turned down and people who are in Kuwait are bored with nothing to do…
