Pleasant Surprise!

For some reason, I picked up my Life’s Little Instruction Book today. Alone. You see that book has inspired me a lot. So, every morning, while Asad eats his Breakfast, I like to read an instruction or two from it. It’s really nice.. I read it cover to cover (Again!) It’s just amazing. Such small, simple gestures that go whoaaa! A long way!
Anyhow, that’s beside the point. So the strangest and amazing thing happened. I don’t think my day could top this one off! (Unless Asad comes back home with our apartment’s lease documents!). It’s more of a sequence of events:
Last 2 nights read one Bloggers Blog à Commented on her FB page à she replied back à added her on Facebook à swapped numbers à decided to meet her  (with our husbands!). 

So, basically I have a date with a complete stranger, who I’ve spoken on the phone once with. Im thinking ill carry a book (Pride & Prejudice?) and maybe a single red rose! With my husband and baby in tow! Kinda completes the package! I love how corny it sounds! Haha. But I’m really excited =) *fingers-crossed*

Break-through!

Something amazing happened last evening. You don’t get to feel crazily ecstatic twice in a day! But that’s exactly what happened (no, don’t go there!) I was with my Friend Ghada (quick intro: amazing friend, neighbor, party planner, alien who never sleeps, operates with energizer batteries, loves cats and cooking) and we finally hit an understanding with our Business idea. (I had chickened out of it). But last evening was very inspirational. So ive been working on the project since morning. Lots of things to do.
Okay ill give this part away. But really fast. We are starting a catering business called the Kitchen2. We both love to cook, are crazy about presentations and the need for art in food! It’s something we feel very strongly about. We don’t need much capital to begin with; cuz the cooking will take place from home. The set up at the clients place. So don’t need much space too. What we need is some spices, some chicken, spatulas and off we go! (Well not really!) Time, energy and talents! Where I live is a small place, half the people know the other half. They love to throw parties while doing nothing. Bzinnng! We exploit that! Initially it’s pretty small scale. Just want to make a name of ourselves in the first year. Let’s see how it goes. Have cards and menus and recipes to work on.
P.s: I can’t decide the theme of this blog. Is it about the girl whose madly in love with her better half, about the mommy who has a funny baby that makes her laugh and drive her up the wall, about the Muslim whose every action is being recorded and judged, or is it about the entrepreneur whose inspired and passionate about her business idea or is it about those random thoughts that come in your head while you’re doing the most monotonous things in life?

Random Thought #1

Let’s skip the foreplay.
My thoughts for the day have been mostly centered around cleaning! Today’s project is scrubbing down the kitchen top-bottom. Most people would find that boring, but if im in the mood, or so as to say hit by the Fiz-org-bug then boyy is it fun! Why is it so hard to imagine cleaning as a secret indulgence? If something as weird as curling can be a sport, kiwi a mammal, then why can’t cleaning be a hobby? Presumptions, presumptions.
More Later.
