My Make believe weekend!

So the last month i hadn't had a proper weekend. Life's been busy, rehearsals, workload and lessons!
So this week i decided to treat myself to a day off and pretended it was a weekend :)
It's the end of the day and it went so well - i'm so relaxed and got a big smile on my face :D
I woke up at noon, pretty relaxed no stress, and took a couple of hours to finally leave the house. Diwan decided today is the day it will be nice to me and within 10 minutes i found two really interesting books - who I don't find trashy at all! The first one is called The Moneypenny Diaries which is almost like a Bond movie but with the woman being the lead (my type of story). I find the notion that these people might have actually existed quite fascinating regardless how far fetched that may be.
The second one is A woman of Cairo which i have yet to start, but it's set in old time Cairo which is again is like my favorite type of books.
Then i headed down to the pool where i chilled for the day till my piano lesson and got a faint hint of a tan - must work more on that on Saturday.
The lesson was fun in spite of the level of difficulty! Bach in the first month of playing is no easy feat...
Then i ended the day by paying my lovely nutritionist a visit where i found out i have un-expectantly passed a minor health milestone, and if that wasn't great enough he continued on to inform me that i have "made his day" after gushing a few seconds on how we should slaughter something as a form of celebration. He was both adorable and motivating :)
So i left his office and decided i'll indulge my rare craving for something sweet by treating myself to a Starbucks double chocolate chip muffin - and it was so divine, the noises i made while eating it vaguely resemble those that Sally made in a restaurant with Harry in a scene often sencored from egyptian/arab TV.
Now one peek at eye candy and his even eye candier boyfriend and i'm off to bed to start my week again!

And here's what's even better - it's a two day week!

That was a nice day off, nothing better than a well-planned getaway.

I recently felt Diwan's graces and bought The Secret-The Book, pretty interesting piece actually.

And a two days week, really? Aren't you taking Thursday off? we all are, especially that I heard Obama is visiting the Pyramids after his sacred speech at the Univ. *traffic havoc*

Yeah,i've heard a lot about this book - is it likea self help book type? what IS te secret?

I wasn't going to stay home - but everyone keeps saying how the will stay home - i'm not sure now.
My drive to work is basically the mehwar only - i'm sure it'll be fine, right?

The secret is the Law of Attraction, people usually argue that it's not really a secret per se, but again, they don't use it anyways. I like to think it's more than a self-help book. Grab a copy and tell me what ye think.

If he's parading in Haram, the traffic flow will head to Mehwar, it'd be an extravaganza, and the intersection with the Ring Road at its end will certainly block, I think staying at home is a very prudent choice, you never know what's comin'
