As I left the warmth and coziness of my bed this morning, reluctantly tearing myself away from my soft comforter, I hurriedly wrapped my robe around me and slipped my feet into my sheep-shaped pantoufle (man I love those animal shaped pantoufles, so cute! Thanks sis!).
I washed my face and then, still drowsy, headed to the kitchen to warm my milk for my latte. Minutes later, with my "Life Is Good" mug in hand (along with my coconut cookies.. MMmmm), I made my way to the dining room where I found my dad reading the paper while sipping his coffee, and my mom drinking her latte while gazing at the morning sky from the veranda glass doors.
I joined them. It felt so nice. I miss them! I know it might sound weird, since, well, I do live with them, but I really don't get to see them much. That's the thing with "modern life", we're all so busy and finding time to sit together is becoming a rare commodity. But I guess that makes you appreciate such moments even more:)
After a few sips out of my latte, my brain was starting to function again and my awareness of my surroundings returning to almost normal levels (which is not that impressive to begin with:P).
I glanced at the veranda glass and GASPED....
WHITE. That's ALL I could see! A world of WHITE out there, in KUWAIT, right outside my window... Who would've ever imagined!!!! I was dumbstruck.....
No, of course it's not SNOW silly (got you there didn't I?:P)
It's fog! But it's soooooooooooo thick you really can't see a few meters away from you!
I excitedly jumped out of my chair (getting myself one heck of a head rush in the process) and opened the veranda doors to have a closer look at the vanilla white sky (darn, wrong choice of words, completely spoiled the romantic picture for myself since the movie "Vanilla sky" remains to be one of my most traumatizing experiences- EVER).
And the best part is, there's no dust! When I see a white sky in Kuwait it always means dusty weather.. which is the worst thing in the whole world.
But now, on the 7th floor, it felt like we were floating amidst the clouds:) I was so thrilled...
So for those of you celebrating Christmas in Kuwait, looks like you'll be getting your "White Christmas" after all!
