1 kilo of strawberries

Today, some shabab asked me where Safeway was when we were right in front of Safeway.  And I shot them this fantastically glowering glare.  I feel like I have finally mastered giving dirty looks.

Sometimes I spy on the neighbors from my kitchen window.  There's a girl my age who drapes a scarf over her head and reads on the back porch.  When I see her outside of the house, her make up is done to perfection and there is not a stray hair in sight.  But when I see her out the window, she is curled up on the swinging bench in her sweatpants with a book.  It's nice to know Arab girls and I might have something in common.

The man at the fruit market down the street sells me a kilo of strawberries for 2 JD.  We're friends.

  1. Hope the strawberries don't make you sick- last time I got very cheap fruit, that's what it did for me.

  2. I was under the impression that you had mastered the dirty look before you left...Hmmm! Now I'm scared! :) not really! I will be working on my dirty look to get ready. *
