I have nothing of substance to say.   It’s Friday, so it’s jummah (huzzah), but why can’t it just be the weekend already?

It’s raining, which makes me not want to stand out at the bus stop to go to jummah.   I drove today, but I parked a mile away from work, as it’s $13 to park downtown and only $1.50 to park out there.  So I could conceivably walk to get the car and drive to jummah, but that would be just as silly as standing out in the rain.  Alhamdluilah my parents gave me a nice umbrella that I haven’t yet managed to lose.  I usually buy the cheap ones, as I have an unfortunate habit of leaving them on the bus every few months.  Cheap ones don’t hold up well in the wind, and we usually get a lot of wind with the rain.  This one is quite pretty as well as being particularly sturdy.  I love impressionist and post impressionaist paintings.

 

My new shukr clothes are excellent as always.  The white scarf is a bit see through, but the purple one is absolutely fabulous.  I’m wearing my new gray tunic with the purple scarf and purple socks.  Am I the only one who matches my socks with my scarves?

 

I purchased the black and gray kitty wallet, although I almost changed my mind when I saw this lime green one.  Now I looove lime green, but the red bow doesn’t quite go well with the green.  I hadn’t every heard of espe before, but their stuff is uber cute.
