what a week

so, I got my jellaba and wore it to class last week to show my teachers. they were very excited about it! especially the one that helped me get it. i am really happy with how it came out and the sewing was done sooo well. anways, it was a great day all around cause that was my last day of class as i finished that section of my studies--i have crossed the bridge! :)

this past weekend I enjoyed some fun shopping in the m'dina. i went out on the night that is the best night for shopping (in my opinion) and took care of some final shopping for gifts, errands, and such and happened to find some great deals. i came upon this man that had a tarp-full of used scarves. they were priced at about 50 cents and i just dug right in. i got ten! they were so fun and funky it was hard to resist. i also got some fun flats that are stamped with the name Prada which i think is pretty hilarious cause they are soo all about knock-offs here. it was just a fun night all around. below you can check out the fun scarves i snatched up.

so, the plumber came to fix our broken tiles in the tub. and hacked away at them for like 45 minutes. the plumber showed up in a blazer, loafers, and pinstriped slacks. he eve brought his own tools and i have been told that is a big deal! i was also really impressed that the job got finished all in one day! i guess i had preparing myself for the worst and thinking it might be a week-long ordeal. but as you can see below the tiles were replaced and the job is finished! the first guy came in the morning to hack away at the wall and then had to leave and said he would be back in the afternoon. he came back and brought the tile guy along with him. the tile guy was not wearing the same type of attire, but had jeans and a hoodie on. they were nice guys.

i went to the doctor to see about this never-ending cold/sickness i seem to be dealing with. it was a super quick visit as we went to the office and didn't have an appointment and still got in just before her lunch break. i walked into her exam room and it also included her desk and such. it was interesting for sure. she asked me a series of questions and then did an examination. she seemed to think that i am suffering from allergies, so she gave me a prescription for cough medicine and some allergy medicine. i was maybe in there for like 15 minutes. the cost of the visit was like 12 bucks. Wow! and the meds were under 10 bucks total. so, we will see how it goes. so far the cough medicine is sorta working.

and then i had asked my roomie if i could make cinnamon rolls for our weekly breakfast night and so, i whipped them up from scratch. i got the recipe from a friend and they turned out okay. the presentation wasn't the best (i said they were rustic looking:), but she claims they were delish. i liked them, too. i am hoping to deliver them to some local friends when i go to say goodbye to them this week before i leave for my trip. i packed up my other bag today and think that i will be okay with the weight. i am excited about handing out everyone's gifts!!

well, hope you are having a great week.
