I hate you Jet Lag....

I'm not really sure why, but I didnt' sleep on any of the plane rides to here at all. I napped in Heathrow a teensy bit, but either security alarms or passengers headed to Hong Kong interrupted. 10 hours in Heathrow was a bit much. Our sensibilites wore out in the last 1/2 hour we were there (sooo close!!) and we ended up changing dollars to pounds. Had some great italian sandwiches and beer though...
So far I've noticed Lebanon is much more vibrant in the summer. The last time I was here was November, which, in all honesty, wasn't a bad time to be here either! The grape vines overhead the porch are full of grapes and the flower vines are all in bloom up the trees & fences. Today was great hanging out in Broumanna and around the house as I was not up to much of anything else. Having tea in a lush summer garden is a pretty amazing thing. Momma (Mom A.) fusses enough about that I feel very well taken care of.
Tomorrow morning I am promised my favorite food manousheh jibne for breakfast and we'll go from there. Yalla, I'm headed back to sleep off a groggy head. Just popped in to let you know I'm safe and sound.

bada bing baby!

- People, please focus. We only have 3 days left until I depart. Wait, it's probably just me frakkin out. Pardon.
- I will have internet access in Lebanon, but I'm not sure if I'm really going to blog. I'll be updating twitter (see right hand side of my blog) and skimming through facebook world. You can always go play music over at my music blog. There is a neat feature on blogger where you can write up entries and choose a future date to post them, but I forgot about that feature until yesterday. I don't think I could write up 32 posts today to cover while I am gone.
- We are not bringing pie filling over to Lebanon on this trip, but there has been a time where it was definitely stashed in someone's luggage back to Lebanon. Apparently you just can't find that stuff there. We are, however, trying to pick out a laptop for n's sister and buy it in the next three days to take.
- Why, yes, I am fully packed. Yes, this is very odd for me. I also have all my outfits for the next few days all planned out. *somebody's excited*
- Ugh, I am so sleepy this morning. I can't think of anything else I wanted to mention.....

Mellow Rainy Jukebox Friday

Ugh... I didn't get much sleep last night due to rainstorms so I'm mellow today. That's all I really gotta say.


I present a mellow French song:



And my favorite dark/gloomy mellow tool song:
