Driven by Curiosity…

it is still 11:58, so it is still Monday

Yasser left to Riyadh…

I Read the whole day (I am reading Dune these days, I finished the first book and started with the second, reading this book is like doing some very important homework. I actually plan time to read, and get nervous if I don’t get around to do it, do i need to get a life?) , I tried to draw, but the picture refuses to do what I want…bitch! ( I need to get a life for sure!)

I chatted a little bit in the afternoon with my cousin, and thought a lot… the best thing about being alone is that I am forced to get know myself, is that what they call solitude?

Randa called me around 8:00 and we decided to have a ladies night out at our pool! yuppi! we are making it a point to swim every day, because otherwise my hips will be used to rest my arms! We called Zena (another neighbor). Swimming at night is great

I felt so FREE, as if I am flying! I guess the lights in the water did the trick. I can’t describe how great the feeling is…. I Left the ladies around 10:00 to watch Bridgett Jones Diary. Man I giggled!

One thing though, in the movie the boyfriend comes back after she dumped him, in real life they never do! Is it that men here have TOO much ego?

I am invited to a pool gathering. My neighbor Randa is invited too, she picked me up around 2:00 and we drove off (not alone, as women don’t drive here, for those who don’t know!).

We get to Sevgi’s (my Turkish friend) she is the best hostess I have ever met, always entertaining… I saw nice appetizers, deserts and drinks. I changed into my bathing suite and join the ladies on the pool, my eye was on the food as I was starving! We sat inside the water as it is more than 41 degrees there. We talked, swap stories… and time passed. The story of the day is what happened in Khobar, things are getting serious here.

Sevgi , I don’t know what to call her, my protégé maybe, she is the friend who calls me everyday, the one who sends me the driver to have a coffee at the pool, she is the one who takes me around, tells me about the sales, events and parties… she is a shopping queen, excellent in bargaining, I know who to take with me if I ever want to buy a house anywhere in the world!
