The Art of Rolling

Thursday, December 29th, 2005

Officially, I could say that my son has mastered the art of rolling now, and yesterday I witnessed his first flip from back to tummy, to be specific it was around 4pm! I got so excited that I screamed, and I guess I startled him a bit because he jumped, lol! Then, he gave me this puzzled look on his face & looked back at me with an uneasy smile, but nonetheless a smile worth a picture! And I shouted to my baby: “plzzz do it again!” I got so wrapped up that I almost forgot my friend was on the phone!

Anyways, and to add more good news, I found a dress I liked …

P.S. Any idea on what to watch out for in this stage? Lately, my baby’s enjoying co-sleeping, though I know it’s not advisable by a lot of organizations out there because it poses a great risk of suffocation. But I mean, what else should I avoid … leaving the baby on the bed, of course???

So Fed Up!

Tuesday, December 27th, 2005

I can’t seem to find a dress yet and the party is only days away! I keep on looking at the wrong dresses! I shopped at Salhiya, AlRaya, Zahra, Fanar, Al-Bustan, & Layla Gallery. Where else should I go??? I can’t continue dragging everyone else with me, esp. when my luck and everything else is going downhill!

Tomorrow I’ll have to check out Al-Othman and Muhallab shopping malls …

What’s up with NBK?

Tuesday, December 27th, 2005

At first when I opened an account with NBK, I was a student back then and I really enjoyed their services, comparing to other banks here in Kuwait.

Thinking about it now, I regret it so much, and it was the biggest mistake of my life when I gave them my phone numbers so that they’d contact me for sth important. You see, for the last two years I kept on getting phone calls from 801801 promoting NBK services only. I didn’t mind much because they used to call from time to time.

But lately, I’ve noticed they call me every week on my cell phone, house phone, and God knows where else. Good thing I’m on a maternal leave otherwise they’d somehow find my phone numbers at work and call me …!

It’s unbelievable! I’m sure it’s not only me that’s unhappy about this! So anyways, it didn’t only stop to phone calls, but the other day someone called me from NBK and again advertising the privileges of owning a visa/master card. I made it clear that I wasn’t interested!

The next day I received a letter from NBK, providing me with a visa card??!! And when I called them, they told me that this is a service we do for our special clients! I thought I had to request it first! That’s when I lost it!! I thought I made it clear that I’m not interested in a visa/master card for the million times! So I had to cancel something I didn’t even request!

A Short Poem

Sunday, December 25th, 2005

He hugs like a hippo,

And makes ladies squirm with delight.

But he’s someone with a gentle heart …

You will hate his naughtiness,

But still … you will ask him to hold you tight!

Written by my older sister.

Done!

Sunday, December 25th, 2005

First, I’d like to wish my sister-in-law a happy b-day! I hope you liked your gift …

Here’s a quick thing I have to say before I retire to bed. Well, I can’t believe we’re done from season one of Desperate Housewives! We’d usually sit together, me, my sister, my husband, and the baby. Yep, and all of us trying so hard to focus!

Actually, let me rephrase that, I’d stand up, most of the time, holding the baby in my arms, rocking and singing to him, and pausing every now and then so I can change his diapers, not to mention the spit ups, while everyone else tried so hard to concentrate with the show and the baby’s innocent crying or should I say screams! Nevertheless, I must say we’ve enjoyed it! Now, we’re at season two, 2nd episode!

And something else, my co-workers told me today that my computer is officially not functioning at all! Great! I’d have to pass by sometime this week to try fixing it; otherwise I have to beg my sweet husband to have a look at it!

Note: I burned my arms accidentally today, while I was trying to warm the water, somehow I got my arms on the hot faucet … so I have a minor 2nd degree burn, which started to bubble now! Maybe I should have it checked by the doctors tomorrow morning.

The New Building

Wednesday, December 21st, 2005

The other day my co-worker called me, and said that we’ll be moving to the new building. So I had to drop some pictures for the new punching card. It’s not like we have much of a choice, and that’s why it doesn’t feel right. I won’t be back to work until a month from now. I won’t be able to judge! For all I know is that my stuff is still there, locked up in the drawers! I’m not sure, but I might be called in to shift my stuff before February, that is if they don’t have plans to take apart the desks or disconnect any wires and plop them all in a truck!!

Shopping at Zara

Tuesday, December 20th, 2005

Yesterday, me, my little sister, and the baby, on his stroller for the 1st time, went out to Fanar Shopping Mall. All I wanted is a tracksuit from there, and especially after seeing Gabi’s training suit on Desperate Housewives, I thought wow … I want one fast! Actually, I really need one because I do plan to join a gym soon.

Anyways, so we go into Zara Store because they have a good collection there, or at least that’s what I thought, and I was wrong! Nothing matched …
But we did end up buying the same plain navy tracksuits from there; and they’re the same size too! I’m still looking for different styles, maybe I should also check out DKNY’s and Armani’s tracksuits …

So afterwards, we went to Columbus Café to have some snacks and coffee drinks, but I couldn’t sit there, it was so stuffy! And that’s not so good for the baby! So I had to rush my sister out …
