Arab Dinner Night!

~ Highlight of the Day: Matching perfectly all day long. . . and dancing like a maniac. ~

 

Guys. I have wanted one of these scarves ever since my senior year of high school when the foreign exchange student I sat next to in Chemistry (from Bahrain) gave one to Chase Adams. And now I have one. And it's yellow.

 

(this is our model pose. . . )

 

You can't really tell in this picture, but my outfit today was quite awesome :) Not only was it yellow and blue (the two colors, out of all the colors ever made, that were made for each other :), but I had my yellow scarf, yellow nail polish (left over from two-ish weeks ago - let's not get too crazy here), my yellow watch, and yellow socks! Seriously. It's not very often I get excited over an outfit.

Ironically you can see none of that in this picture. . . :)

 

Also, we learned an Arab dance, which was really cool. Fortunately for all of you there is not a video of me trying to dance it . . . besides, I'm still working on getting that talent show video up. . .

 

And Arab food is really good. I'm going to have to learn the names of these things so I can google recipes when I get home. I probably won't ever be able to make it authentic, but maybe I can figure out versions that are close enough.

 

I'm going to miss the yogurt here. It's half as sweet and twice as runny as American yogurt, and when you put it on cereal it's the best breakfast ever.

 

Well, I'm going to go write a short paper on the Cyrus Cylinder, and finish reading Nehemiah and Malachi. Then I'm going to sleep, because sleep is soooo good, and I don't get nearly enough of it!
