Two days ago I turned 29. On that morning, I woke up in a sour mood knowing that the 8th of July 2005 marked the beginning of the last year of my twenties. Eventually, I got over it and managed to have a great day celebrating with the husband and Dad and Mom T. They took me out to a top-notch restaurant just outside of Harrisonburg called The Bluestone Inn.
This restaurant is a bit of a local secret and quite unique. You dine under the mounted heads of hunted animals like deer, bear, moose, etc that are hung all over walls covered in memorabilia. The food was fantastic and the baked scallops that I picked were just orgasmic. After the fantastic dinner we returned home for some cake, champagne and a gift opening session. It was a wonderful way to celebrate such a depressing age.
It is also worth noting that the 8th of July marked the one year anniversary of this blog’s presence on TypePad. It was a birthday gift from the husband last year and what a wonderful gift it turned out to be.
Jareer,
I dont know if i can translate batooty. i think i made that up or something. lets just say its not a real word.
Happy Birthday Girl 😉 actually 29 sounds cool! but then again I’m in a quater-life crisis @ 22 and I can’t imagine how I’d feel 7 years from now 🙂
Oh and Happy Birthday to this blog… it was part of what made me start blogging, so big thanks and keep on blogging!

Eid Milad, ya Habibti!

Linda,
You always asked us about different vocabularies and what they meant; now its your turn; what is “batooty”.. explain please.
As for chairs and Arabs, I can only link the two togther in two occasions
1. First, the Arab leaders get glued to their chairs
2. Second, we use them in our fights, not games !
happy birthday natasha! your birthday is just one day before my cutey batooty nephews which is july 9. yesterday was his second birthday and we had a party with games and all. imagine a bunch of arabs playing musical chairs? hahahaha

Happy birthday Natasha 🙂 Sounds like a great way to celebrate! Inshalla 3o2bal il meet saneh 🙂
Reporting from the ripe old age of 34, I never stop being amazed at how little I knew when I was 24. Life may be the one thing that you always get better at.
Happy Birthday!!! Look at the bright side! You don’t have wrinkles yet, at least they’re not showing in pictures looool
some people are so sick that when they’re 30 they look like 60. Don’t look at numbers they will only make more depressed.
Happy Birthday & Happy “Mental Mayhem” Anniversary 🙂
Happy birthday ! You should be glad, and not depressed. As they say; the best years in the life of a woman are the ten years between 29 and 30 🙂
