My Mom’s visit
I’m waiting for her to arrive. Her flight should have reached at about 20 minutes to 5 and she should have left the airport at half 5 and should be here within the half hour (now being 6 pm and I have to pray!!)
Like a dutiful daughter I asked her what she wanted to eat when she arrived and this is what she told me:
Assalaamu Alaykum
DearWell shukran for asking
I will like Arnold’s bread and boiled eggs , a green salad and grapes and
ice cream for dessert, also some nice hot tea would be most appreciated as
soon as I arrive
Love you and take care
wa alaykum assalaam
mom
NB: I went and bought myself a pair of New Balance Walking Shoes at Shoe
Locker so we do not have to go looking for them as soon as I arrive in
Amherst
- even more specific about the bread! Well I don’t have it but have two selections for her pleasure.
- Salad??? Do I look like a salad person? To which she wondered what I eat and what it would take to buy a cucumber and she could cut it up even!! But I just did my groceries and it took me about a month to do those…
- grapes??? granted I am sad that all the bananas looked green and that I don’t have fruit but grapes? lord!!!
- I’m not sure if the egg is hard boiled or not..I guess she’ll see!
- Ice cream – that I have and bought for her when I went grocery shopping!!
- and i have tea..it makes me feel better
Anyway, she thinks I don’t love her but guess what! I went to Bread & Circus and got all (or a substitute) for what she wanted. And I got watercress (which I love and now will have help to finish it before it goes brown) and more tomatoes so that’s a salad I think with cucumbers. I have dressings too.
And while I was there I bought bittersweet chocolate and bittersweet orange (natural oils) chocolate to make orange chocolate truffles sometime this week, hopefully in time for the Departmental Potluck next Friday (o no! can i make that??) Maybe I’ll send some home with mom as an interim gift for my friend who got married Sunday. I wonder….
Oh well, I won’t be posting much because mom will be here and I will be otherwise occupied unless I am at work trying to do work.
I think I have to finish my write up by the 30th and I haven’t started yet! I am very worried.
