Things from Here & There!

O2 the best pancake place in Tripoli with a Mediterranean view, well this is a free advertisement goes to Amu Sulaiman..lol

I stayed over my parents' last night, this morning I dropped DaMoon at work and it was still early for me to go to work, as I always like to be on time or a little bit late, any thing but before 8.30..lol So it was still 8.10 I decided to stop by O2 to have my breakfast... I ordered a pancake with peanut butter and honey.. and enjoyed the sea view and a quiet breezy morning!

So I got to the office and SURPRISE they've finally applied the asphalt layer on the street outside the office... So no more cleaning the car to park it the next day and find it all dusty in the afternoon :o)... 3ogbal shar3na!..lol

My grandparents' house is FULL mashallah, every day my 4 aunts and their children (not children any more they're all teenagers now!) & uncle all gather at my grandparents', and you can imagine all the things happening around the house! my uncle who lives in the State and auntie, and her children of course, who live in Canada are all here for the summer vacation, it's been a long time since they all have gathered together, so you can imagine my grandfather is on cloud # 9 :o)

Mother-in-law is travelling, yah I know again!!..this time my sister-in-law has given birth to her # 2 baby girl :o) My other sister-in-law is back from Egypt so she's taking care of preparing the meals for the family as I have an excuse "my sister's wedding is around the corner"..therefore, Meral is joining the crowed at my grandparents'.. and I tell you she's enjoying herself, Mom took her to the beach twice last week, so every morning she wakes up asking if we're going to the beach today!!

Meral @ my Grandparents'

Well.. I haven't bought the dress for DaMoon's wedding yet, and we are less than 25 days away!!! ** tear drop **
Oh yah one more thing, today I'll receive my copy of "A Thousand Splendid Suns" Thanks IBeeBarbie ;o)

Where is this O2 thing? but there is also a nice place for pancakes in Al-Dahra close to Maydan Al-Gadeseea :) ........... and the trademarks in Libya go straight out the window as "O2" is a mobile phone operating company in the uk

Its always good when the family come together so may allah always keep you together and may everyday bring a happier day for you and your family

Tell me, What is the secret of tension between the in-laws? you know what i mean? Daughter In-law Vs Mother In-Law + Husband's sister?

Mabrook for the asphalt, i have been told that they are working on the street infornt of our house in AL-Nofleen so i hope its done by the time i am back

Masha allah, meral looks very happy at her grandmother as kids love it when they find children thier same age and then they just cause havoc

Fe aman allah

Ahmed O2 is 3al b7ar behind Hay Alandalus Old Post office, you know the big street that takes you to Nadi Errimal! it's there lol
I dunno about the other place I just LOVE this palce since it's 3al b7ar :)

I know I love family gatherings I just loved being surrounded with all those we love :o)..

Tension? what tension..lol
But to tell the truth, if each side be respectful, and mind their own business and not judge… there will be no tension, or you can say.. kul wa7d e7’ali ettani 3le ra7tah :o) no imposing of opinions and being nosy about each other.. that’s the key for no tension :o)
Seriously I can only say great stuff about my in-laws they're the best :o).. Alhamdolilah I might be a big spoiled brat in their eyes but they love me for every thing I do for them.. well I am the kind of person who will do every thing out side the house..lol mshaweer, buying stuff.. getting them news about new stuff in town you know.. lol

RESPECT is the only thing needed, to make the in-laws relationships work…
my sis-in-laws the ones married, ask me for advices when something happens between them and their in-laws.. when I am 5 years younger than they are ;o).. so no tension wa alhamdolilah.. plus they're very kind people.. emm this got very long..lol

Inshallah they'll finish working on your street before you arrive cuz it's such a pain!

Thank you for your sweet comment about Meral.. unfortunately the youngest cuz is 11 yrs old.. so no kids her age but she's having fun enjoying the amount of attention she’s getting.. :oD

Yah it did gave me energy, since I am not a breakfast person it made me feel different for the day.. and I am going to start having breakfast from now on :o)..

Well I didn't play the wedding card.. it came out this way :o).. cuz if you read my previous posts..you'll know that my mother-in-law travels almost every other month.. and I am doing all that needed to be done..so I should've said that I am THANKFUL that my sis-in-law was here this time :oD cuz other wise I might've gone nuts running between Ben3ashoor "grandparents" and Janzour "in-laws".. and all the things in between :o)

Dude.....I am so depressed :o(
All of you are together and I'm stuck here in the lab..(Teary Eyes)
Well, mashalla, enshalla deema malmoomeen, I just want to be there too now and I cannot, because my freaking committee meeting is in three weeks and my next conference is in 6weeks and so on...and I'm missing DaMoon's wedding because of school and I'm missing all the fun you guys are having with Meral, and I'm missing all of you so very much.. stuck here in the basement with mice and cell cultures and bloody histology sections...aaaaaaah ya rabbi. el7amdulilah, allahuma la e3terrad.
I gotta go jogging now for some euphoria..lol
God please, more patience.. please pray for me...and don't tell mama..don't want her to worry.

Love

Salam Maysoon,
I'm exactly the same. I HATE being early to work, so I'm generally always late, which I suppose then makes me on time. :-)

Breakfast this morning sounded absolutely heavenly----very peaceful and relaxing.

Oh your Grandparents house sounds full, but lots of fun. I would be the one coming in and out in spurts because the crowd can be too much for me sometimes. :-)

How fun for Meral to be with all her cousins and Grandparents. I'm sure she's having the time of her life, alhamdullilah. I don't know about you, but when Amira goes to Grandma and Grandpas' I almost feel a guilty pleasure. I'm happy to have a moment to myself and then miss her like crazy.

Hey, Lebeeya has an extra dress, so just pilfer through her luggage when she gets there. ;-) Save you some shopping time. :-)

Hope you enjoy A Thousand Splendid Suns---I know I sure did.
