Happy Sunday Freebie
Hey everyone! Happy Sunday! Almost everyone in the world is having their free time today but, here in the Mid East, it’s our first day of the week. Also, it’s a special day today because it’s hubby’s birthday and what better way to celebrate it than a freebie!
.
To my Bebe, Happy, happy birthday! Thank you for being so awesome in every way. You know that I love you more in every passing day, right? Hmmm… that sounded like a greeting card. But, you know that is true. Love you, sweetie!
Lazy Friday Night
As I am writing this, my youngest is running around the house like he ate a kilo of sugar. I don’t know where he gets his energy but I am amazed because he looks like he doesn’t even get tired at all. Sometimes, I do wish I have that kind of energy for the whole day so I can do everything I want.
Well, it’s a lazy Friday night here and we just had our shawarma dinner. I thought that I should share my latest layout. Its about the little monster
It’s a good day when I get to finish a scrap page. I hope you’re having a great weekend!

funny story and additional knowldge
I just remembered a funny story that my friend Jinky told me a long time ago and I just want to share it. Its funny how people from different countries use the word “expired”. My friend Jinky got a phone call looking for our colleague who recently passed away (I will just name her JJ). This was the conversation…
Telemarketer: Good Morning, may I speak with JJ?
Jinky: Im sorry, but she passed away last month.
Telemarketer was silent.
Jinky: Hello?… Im sorry but she’s no longer with us.
Telemarketer: Ooohhhh…… Will she be visiting you anytime soon?
Jinky was ?!?! what ?!?!
Jinky: I hope not!!!
Telemarketer confused.
Telemarketer: I need to speak with her. Do you have any contact with her?
Jinky totally confused/annoyed and laughing a bit.
Jinky: I told you, she passed away. She’s no longer with us. She’s on the other side of the world.
Telemarketer probably clueless on what Jinky was saying. Silence.
Jinky: She’s dead?
Telemarketer: Ohhh, you mean she expired!
At last! They fianlly understood each other!!! This might not be funny to others but this was something new to me and I was laughing so hard when I heard this. I quickly researched this one. I asked a colleague from India and apparently the appropriate and respectful way to say someone died is to say “He/She expired”. They don’t use “passed away”. And you just use “died” or “dead” when you refer to animals or plants. So, now I know….
Something I learned and will not be surprised again
