The Royal Tiara Tag

1. Name who asked you to play this

Ze2red

2. Mention six secrets nobody can uncover about you when meeting you for the first time.

  1. I count stuff in my head all the time.  I count how many times I had to slice an onion, how many buttons on my daughters shirt while I am getting her dressed, how many stitches in this row, the crayons while I put them away,  … you get the picture, I can’t help it.
  2. If I hate someone or something, there is no going back.  I have never managed to unhate anyone or anything yet.
  3. I listen to things people say and notice the little details.  I love getting to know people through the unsaid.
  4. I have always worn my wrist watch on my right wrist even though I am not left handed.  I think I have always secretly wished I were a lefty.
  5. I love colors.  Even though I might not wear lots of different colors and prefer monochromatic schemes in furniture.  I secretly wish I lived in Rainbow Land.
  6. I hate it when people talk down to me, or assume I am not smart.  I am much smarter than I appear and I don’t mean it in a snobby kind of way.  Some people assume that because I am a housewife, I am also dumb or something.  They usually end up in my ‘hate’ category.

3. Pass this on to 6 bloggers, mentioning their names along with their links.

  1. Mona
  2. Shimaa
  3. PearlinJ
  4. Yassmina
  5. Nousha
  6. Brownie

I am repeatedly amazed …

by my daughter.  She is six months and has been playing with a peice of silver gift wrapping paper for the last hour.  She has examined it, scrunched it, licked it, tried to eat it and watched it reflect light.  She has folded it, crumpled it, even smiled at it and sort of sang to it.  Not only is she entertained but she appears to be interested in something I was going to throw away.  Everything must seem so new and interesting when one is that young.  SubhanAllah.
