Keeps gettin better and better!

I believe I had made my rejoice apparent earlier when I mentioned my plans to go to Amman during my mid-term holiday (which is in a week!! YAY TO ME:D). Just the thought of being there, amidst all the familiar things is enough to draw a huge silly grin on my face.. My bed, our kitchen, our beat-up (but surviving strong!) car, my friends, my cat, everything!
You get the point.

My dad then decided to make his trip to Amman coincide with mine, so that meant I had a travelling buddy! Which only made the appealing nature of my travels even more so:)

Another great surprise was finding out that dear ol' cousin Nasser will be (after 10 years of absence) visiting this end of the universe too! A fellow choco/cookie/dessert-oholic visiting town, juuuuust the excuse I need to make sure I visit each and EVERY desserty place :P Looking good. Looking good indeed :D

and NOW just like that, out of the blue, my sis informs me that she made reservations and she'll be around in Amman same time!!!!!!!!!!! (It's actually still sinking in. I mean I thought I won't see her till the summer!! and now IN A WEEK. wow)

People people slow down, there's only so much excitement and happiness I could handle!
I think I'm hyperventilating here :D (seriously)

That is SO AWESOME.
Fatherly/daughterly/sisterly/cousinly reunion squashed into one! Lookin good lookin good;)

Oh and don't make the mistake of thinking that I won't see my brother! He also surprised us with the news of him coming (to Kuwait) during his spring break, which is in like a month from now! :D :D so that's also another thing to GET SOOOOO EXCITED AND ECSTATIC ABOUT. Man, all this happiness is exhausting I must say :D

So to those of you involved in this Ammani reunion, here's what I propose our plans MUST include:

1. For rainy days: cookie baking, cookie eating, cookie hugging (did I say that out loud?:P) . Mac and cheese nights while watching a corny feel-good-happy-ending chick flick (I can almost see your grimace Nasser)
2. For rainy days (option 2): just go for a loooong walk and get totally soaked (hmm.. i have a hunch I'll end up doing that one alone:)
3. Hikes and outdoorsy stuff: Ajlun reserve, Rum? and/or Wadi Ibin Hammad (don't worry Dalia I'll do the driving, you just sit back, relax, and say your last prayers!)
4. laid back walk through Shmeisani all the way to Plaza, get pizza and an action/thriller/too-much-violence-it-makes-me-want-to-cry movie to cater for the taste of our Y-chromosome-carrying family members (how considerate am I, eh?).
5. A visit to Chez Hilda, indulging in her desserts, and thanking her for making the world a sweeter place!
6. Pizza Nutella at Caserreccio (repeat as necessary).
7. A visit to Darat al Funun followed by a walking tour downtown (with Dalia as a guide, cuz let's face it I'm clueless most of the time!), buying 1 dinar sunglasses and making sure dad gets his Habiba syrup-laden Kunafa!:)
8. Visit the crazy cat! and marvel on how fat he's gotten.
9. Play Taboo and actually get an answer right (I'm talking about myself here).
10. Go for a run every morning in Sport City's cute woodsy path! (again, the likelihood of getting someone to tag along is slim-to-none).
11. A picnic on the side of the aiport road or on the patch of grass on the 2nd or 3rd circle (HEHEHEHEHEHEHE kidding!! Although that would be a TRULY Ammani thing to do. Man I miss Amman.)
12. An all-the-shawerma-and-falafel-you-can-eat-in-one-day tour, for the shawerma/falafel-deprived Canadian souls:P
13. Catching up on ALL the new local jokes. I've been in Kuwait for a year and a half now and no one has EVER told me a joke. I miss the humor! I used to always have a joke up my sleeve, now I'm rusty.
14. Buying a huge pack of sha3rawi, cuz let's face it it's the yummiest gum ever (and that's from someone who almost never chews gum).
15. Basically savoring the Ammani experience :D

Huh. Is it just me or do half these points revolve around food? We must seriously get a life!!

As for you my brother, our sisterly/brotherly/motherly/fatherly plans will be disclosed as the time comes nearer :D me loves you!

And as if I didn't have enough to rejoice in already, we have a long weekend this week! Yay to me! :D
