forever the good girl

• Movies…. usually old and have seen them many times over, or I just don’t want to see it at all. 
• Series…. they never get any of the good stuff. EVER! 
• Talk shows…. I would rather just go stick my head in a blender or grinder or… (you get the picture, right?) especially Egyptian post-revolution TV, the things people have the nerve to say!!!!! I end up wanting to poke my eyeballs out or get a shotgun and finish them all off!
• Sports (which is mostly football or tennis)…. no. mostly because I don’t get the scoring and don’t care much to make an effort of trying to get it.
• Competition shows… BORING! and I don’t have the patience for most things anymore :/ I don’t even bother.
• Home shopping…. ha ha! big fat joke. big fat lie. over my dead body. never.

what else?

Cooking shows… well, sometimes yes, I would watch a show about food, in fact, the only thing on TV hubby and I would watch together are food/cooking shows :) we watch the Australian Master Chef Junior and Man vs. Food together :) and I also like Nigella Lawson.

when I’m home alone, I switch the TV on for background company, however, I never actually watch anything and it is usually muted :/ 

Hubby says I make really good Molokhia
I think so too :) 

YUMMMY! oh so yummy :) 

1. My favourite pastime has become staring at my belly waiting for Baby to make a move.
2. I would often poke my belly to see if I would get a response from the inside. more often than not, Baby ignores me.
3. Sometimes I can’t wrap my head around the fact that I should embrace getting bigger. I often see my-round-self in the mirror and I’m lost between “OMG! I’m HUGE and there is nothing to do but eat and wait it out” and “Yaaaaay!! I’m having a baby and Baby is growing!”
4. I often hug my baby belly :) yes.
5. I sometimes talk to Baby when there is no one else to hear what I have to say.

The temperature today is 39°C
Ok, Cairo has seen hotter days, but…. oh the heat!

and frozen grapes are absolutely the best invention ever.
bite-sized popsicle treats, you should definitely try them. 

I’m not in the best of moods.

Hubby is watching Wrath of the Titans on our TV screen, which is absolutely terrible and horribly disgusting (that is either my opinion or my mood speaking, I’m not quite sure at the moment) and LOUD and violent and just plain annoying :(

Maybe I’ll just go read in bed. yes, i think that is a brilliant idea.
I’m reading Jane Austin’s Emma by the way ;) 

Up until last week I was able to suck in my stomach and it would look like I just had a gigantic monster of a meal :D
I can’t do that any more…  
There is no denying that my baby bump is in fact a baby bump.

1. Feeling Baby move and kick and stretch :) I love it and will definitely miss that the most.
2. The pregnancy beauty package: thick, silky hair; strong nails; clear skin; big boobs :P
3. No period for nine months!
4. The royal treatment. The entire world loves a pregnant woman and loves a baby bump even more.
5. The guilt free extra eating and no one will think you are a fat p*g.
6. Napping. 

:)

I’m hungry, almost all the time, but then I feel full after the first bite :/

Follow up to my Avocado post

I don’t think I like avocados. 

From browsing for ideas on how I might eat it, I figured it wouldn’t be sweet :(

Since I like eggs, and they were available at hand, I decided to looking at avocados and egg breakfast/lunch recipes, and ended up making avocados and eggs salad sandwich (with mayo and seasoning and stuff). It wasn’t bad, but I wouldn’t do it again :/ I couldn’t decide if it was alright or just too weird for my pallet…

Then again, maybe mine wasn’t a good avocado, maybe it wasn’t ripe enough yet… I don’t know. 

Today I bought an avocado.
I have never tried avocados before.
I think I’ll do some research on how to eat them before I try mine.
I have absolutely no idea what it might taste like.
I don’t expect it to be sweet, however, it would be quite a pleasant surprise if it were!
I’ve heard that it has a buttery texture… dunno how I feel about that :/ 

Tomorrow, InShaaAllah, I’ll report my experience with my first avocado.

Pregnancy has turned me into a chocolate junkie

:/

this was my lunch for today :D a Hazeltnut Cream KitKat Chunky

oh yes, very yummy indeed!

I just drank 4 glasses of orange juice… so much that if you cut me open, orange juice would just pour out :)

pro: my system is surging with Vitamin C at the moment

con: many runs to the bathroom to come :/ (today’s exercise!)

my third breakfast of the day. 

sometimes I feel that my entire day revolves around me eating. dunno what to do about that…
