My Birthday and 23 Other Things

14Nov07

Here’s to a happy birthday I had, and to loved ones who came into my life and made it more beautiful…
Thanks for everything. I felt loved, special and celebrated!

My sweet friend Abeer asked me to write a list of 23 things I’m thankful for. Here’s my list in no particular order:

1- hot water all the year
2- TV especially when I have no one to talk to
3- table lamps which make it possible to do anything after midnight
4- people who don’t wear cheap perfume when they can’t afford the good but expensive one
5- Fast food restaurants
6- my family
7- my normal room mate, who is not rude, disgusting or lesbian
8- the ability to walk and enjoy the weather
9- the rain
10- hot drinks after the rain
11- finding humor in serious incidents
12- mbc 4’s comedies
13- my very few but true friends
14- the love in my life
15- not being hungry for more than 7 hours
16- my bad short-term memory
17- the ability to forgive people
18- my warm bed
19- Internet
20- roaming service
21- books especially classics
22- good music
23- Hamoudeh for selling DVDs for 1 JD

    Welcome to 23! I’ll be leaving it in about about 3 months, it was quite the strange year hopefully your 23 is going to be way better than mine.

    I’m totally feeling your number 10 and number 17!

    Happy Birthday Shaden :-)

    It’s easier to come up with the list after a week of deliberating than having to come up with it on the spot, eh?

    The cake looks good. It tasted good too! :)

    Thanks everyone!

    Happy Bday Shaden:)

    A late happy birthday wish.
    You and bakkouz were born on the same day !

    I agree about putting hot water as number 1. The fastest way to demoralise me would be to prevent me from taking a shower for 24 hours.

    happy birthday…

  15. Gravatar Icon 15 Shaden Posted November 18th, 2007 - 12:40 AM

    Ohoud, Sam thank you!

    Hani, actually I was born on the 6th and Bakkouz on the 14th. Thanks for the wishes dear :)
