a day with me in my life

Friday it is then...

Back to boring work!
Why wasn't I born into a rich family where I would be served on hands and foot? (or is it feet?)
Sooooo... to make a short story short, today J came up with the mail. (nothing new it's his job after all). But the funny bit was that he stopped to chat with me. I tried to act cool, but being the centre of attraction whilst the other female collegues just gawked at him, made me a bit heady. Anyways!
1) He asked me what any ideas I have got for him to buy L as a birthday present. (Next Friday it's her birthday, which I nearly quite forgotten!) I suggested maybe a nice small soft toy and around his neck a silver necklace?
2) He asked me to go out with them to eat in this restaurant that he has already booked. I was about to refuse but then he told me that he has got a friend and wishes to meet me! MEET ME??!! he must be crazy but I did not say so :)
So now we settled for this dinner for next Friday! I still have to buy L her present and I know just what to buy her. She's hooked on Joanne Harris (yep the one that wrote Chocolait) and so probably I will buy her two or three books from this author! Nice eh? :)
Homefront is quite the same. S is studying really hard whilst E... well she is another story...

a new month!

And of course it is a public holiday! Hurray for being a worker (as it is worker's day), but BOOOOOO for being on a Sunday! Just my luck!!!!!
First thing I did was to go to the Monti in Rabat! The sun was shinning bright that it gave me a headache! Bought two new handbags, sunglasses, multi coloured scarf and a belt!
Then I went to my sister's husband's mother, for she invited all of my family to eat at her house.
This kunjata of my sister's has only two sons. The eldest is married to my sister whilst the other has emigrated to Canada! So, sometimes she just wishes to cook for a whole breed of hungry persons! And she is the finest Maltese cook on the island!
Just to make you people out there jealous we ate : lasagna, roast pork with those crunchy potatoes, peas, carrots (already could not move at this point), then strawberry gateau she makes (mmmaaa soooo sinful), then some peanuts and nuts and then... (so full at this point that all my body is aching), coffee and some alcohol to make your stomach back to its full glory (as if!). This made me think. Are we (the Maltese race) such food lovers? With this 'ikla' we could have fed a whole army from Africa! Anyways...
Imagine, was too bulged out to do anything else so I slept and slept and slept. Just woke up to write in this blog and going back to sleep! :P
But on the whole enjoyed myself...
Ah! Before I forgot, L phoned me to tell me she found me another perfect blind date! Jeez...
And for the moment, the phone calls on my mobile just stopped! Thank God!
