A self-esteem boost and... other stuff

So the other day I was talking to my mom, and I mentioned the cute religious trainer and how he had winked at me that morning.

"Actually, he kind of winks at me a lot, mom --"

"--He probably just has en eye problem, poor guy!"

Thanks, mom.

But I'll forgive her, because she's sending me.... a care package!!! I LOVE care packages. Especially when a little bird tells me I'm going to be happy with the contents. Because among other goodies, they include slippers. And candy. And things to cheer me up when the going gets bumpy.

In other news, I have been craving tahini like crazy. Good thing I live in the land where I can buy the good shit - real Palestinian sesame paste - and make the best darn tahini you've ever tasted. MMM MMM GOOD.
