Our weekend

Well! Again, problems with the internet, thus the lack of any news from Kuwait! BUT! I refuse to post yet another negative blog (I AM changing my outlook, you know!) so, on with the fun.


We had a fantastic weekend! Absolutely fun fun fun! Drank some good wine with friends and watched Cloverfield (again for us, new for them.) FUN to see their reactions, and make them wait when they're asking us questions! hehehe... I am NOT a movie spoiler, so don't ever ask me!!!


Then, Tuesday, we got together here at our place with one of our buddies and made a huge breakfast! That was interesting, 3 adults in our little kitchen, trying not to run each other over. But fun fun fun, and yummy! Then we drove out to one of the half million malls here to go to the grocery store there, and just wander aimlessly through the giant shrine to commercialism. Good fun :) Gotta love a good mall cruise. That night we got together with our awesome friends yet again to play Monopoly, Nintendo edition. That was fun, too! hmmm, I'm seeing that I enjoy the word fun, but that's word of the weekend, so yeah.


Next afternoon, a friend called to invite us to lunch, so we drove out to meet him. WELL... The night before, a former Emir (ruling Sheikh of Kuwait) had passed away, so everything was closed. The funny thing about this is that all Kuwaitis were given the day (and 5 following I believe) off of work, so there were hundreds out driving around, looking for somewhere to go hang out, but NOTHING, not even McDonalds, was open. Everyone had kind of a "Now what?" expression on their faces. So we drove around a bit, found a yummy little Arabic restaurant that was open (ok, there may have been 3 open, and all were PACKED!). Then, we got a call from our friends asking if we'd like to head out on the boat with them. So we spent our evening on the boat, enjoying the cool breeze, relaxing, and chatting about what a great weekend we had. Very nice!



And to my utter amazement and JOY!, this morning, Jaden slept until past 7! woo hoo! I actually got a bit nervous and checked on him around 8, which woke him up. :)


so, that's our weekend.... relaxing, fun, good.


Don't ask me about mother's day, though. It seemed to be forgotten this year. Oh well, I can't complain. I don't do that anymore! ;)





BTW!
