My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • My BF went away during the week off that we had vacay, while I stayed here. He brought back some goodies and the cutest was a German gingerbread house – Hansel & Gretel was one of my favorites and this brought back happy thoughtss!

  • I haven’t been writing much about work because I try to pretend that it doesn’t exist when I am at home. However, there have been some interesting activities worth taking photos of…. [shashin type=”photo” id=”4384,4386,4387,4388″ size=”medium” columns=”2″ order=”user” position=”center”]

  • It’s been a couple of months since I last posted about my container gardening. So, here’s an update. I transplanted most of the seedlings and that has been going pretty well. Of 8 tomato plants, 6 have survived so far. About three of them are really growing well (pic will come later). Here are pics of them after a week of transplant – The carrots are questionable as to whether or not they…

  • This time of year is a busy one in Abu Dhabi with events like Formula One, which bring in big names for concerts after the races. Although I hadn’t planned on going to many concerts this year, I already feel like a music groupie. When they announced that Britney Spears was coming to town, I did not lament at the thought that I might miss it since only race ticket holders get general…

  • The last few days have been quite full with socializing and enjoying the free events on offer in the city. So, I will try to catch up here a bit. I got my haircut and highlighted, so I feel better with my hair as it had grown quite a bit. Then, I met my friend and we had lunch at the mall. Then, we saw “The Rum Diary“, which was a pretty entertaining…

  • Wow, I have been busy and am tired…. Will write in more detail tomorrow. 😀

  • Why do the days have to go so quickly?? Today is my first full day off – I’m heading out for a hair appointment, meeting up with a friend whom I haven’t seen in … a while … for lunch and a film, then I might come home for a rest before going to the Beats on the Beach event that is kicking off tonight for the F1 weekend. Last night, I managed…

  • It’s been a quiet day today, which is good. I went to bed early last night and got a full eight hours of sleep, which still had me up at 6.30 this morning. 😉 Since my headache was gone, I attempted to try running outside this morning, but the neighborhood is not exactly conducive for running and perhaps I was a hamster in my other life as I just prefer the treadmill. It…

  • One night with not enough sleep and then having to wake up earlier than desired today has led to a tired Tara. Also, I’m wondering if the cloudy weather has triggered my migraine today or if it’s from being tired or a series of sources. In any case, it’s not very convenient for vacay! 🙁 After the cleaners left, I took some meds and a nap. Sadly, I had to cancel plans for…

  • Although I should not complain about getting good help when the Western world sees it as a luxury, in this part of the world, it’s a way of life. With both of us studying and working full-time, one area that gets lost is a regular and thorough cleaning. Since most people hire housekeepers/nannies/maids, who are we to say no? 😉 When we moved to the new apartment, there were advertisements for a new…
