Christmas has come and gone....baby its cold outside

Big shout out to my kuwait family for hosting an awesome christmas at the Mangaf Mansion!

Brenda and Luis pulled out all the stops. We even had a delicious glass of REAL red!
There was secret santa and singstar and general merry making. My santa brought me a beautiful sweater dress and a wallet from Karen Millen. (Oohh santa...thank you!)

I also had the pleasure of working on Christmas Day (a first, trust me). Customers were in a festive mood, my staff were great! And in the spirit of christmas there were more prezzies!

Sadly santa also brought cold weather to the middle east! I've gotten sick from it and I feel like all my energy is gone. The temp has stayed steady at 12C- sounds warm compared to Canada but remember in KWT temps are usually in the 30's. Warm up soon- I didn't bring a winter coat!

I hope your holiday was as blessedas mine!

Stay tuned for the year end recap

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Hello everyone (and by one,  I mean 1 lonely reader!)

I am so excited to be able to blog from my balckberry. It allows me to share my strange and fleeting thoughts while comuniting to and from work or as I am walking my dog. It also means shorter posts, since typing on Blackberry can be a b**ch! Please forgive any spelling errors.

Stayed tuned in and I promise to make my adventures here in Kuwait known more regularily. And I'll be wrapping up my year over here with a special post with pictures! Cant wait.....santa is on his way....

Sunday morning muse

Have you ever had this moment in the morning... the one where you are driving down the highway and you wish that you could just keep driving? Out of the city, away from work and the errands and the daily commitments. Then you hit the bumper to bumper traffic. And instead of it inspiring you to joyride even more, it actually brings you back to reality. And you can't be happier being anywhere else but right here.

That was this morning.
