At Least No one Tooted Yet

Victor was a bum, ya’ll, so now I’m at the library, where I’m sitting on the most uncomfortable chair in America, and I’m not allowed to check out books because I have a Virginia driver’s license, which I think is discrimination, but I didn’t say anything because I don’t really want to check out any books anyway, and the lady at the counter is a lot bigger than me.
My flight was Saturday evening, and after I was done packing, I realized that I forgot to pack my Magic Bullet. So I was like, “Hey Dad, can you put my blender by my things? I’m going to take it with me” and he was like, “No, you can’t take that on the plane” and I’m like, “Why?” and he goes, “Because of the blade” and I’m like it’s not like a knife” and he’s like “Yes it is” and I’m like, “Uh, you can stab someone’s eye out with a knife, what am I going to do with a blender?” and he goes, “I don’t know, maybe you’re going to mix a martini and throw it in someone’s face” and I was like, “That doesn’t even make any sense,” and he goes, “Well I’m the pilot and I don’t care.”
I didn’t know what to say after that.
Here we are all packed up and ready to go — just me and Felix, and no Magic Bullet.
I didn’t tell Felix that he was considered a lap child until we got on board.
He’s pretty sensitive.
I flew out of Dulles, and it was packed beyond anything I have ever seen. There was elbow to elbow traffic, and the check-in and security lines snaked around the airport for what seemed like miles. My flight was packed, too, but luckily I had a window seat, so I spent most of my time gazing at the incredible scenery.
I know that clouds are clouds, but I swear, while you’re flying above them, and right through them, each one is uniquely different from it’s neighbor. I took this picture about 30 minutes before we landed.
I totally believe in God, ya’ll — this stuff can’t happen on its own.
Headed to my new home.
We ran errands all day Sunday, and while we were out, I saw a guy holding two coconuts with straws in them, and I was all, “Hey! Coconut water!” So The Boss rolls down the window to ask where the guy got them from, and the guy comes running over, and he’s like, “Two dollars,” so then I totally freaked out because he was selling them, not holding them for his own consumption, and I LOVE COCONUT WATER so we pull around the front of the parking lot he was standing in, and The Boss is like, “Where did you get those?” and the guy’s like, “I don’t know,” but he did know, he just didn’t understand, so I go, “Did you climb a tree?” and he goes, “No. Me(hi)ico!” and I’m like, “You got these from MeXico?!?!” And he’s like, “Yes!” and I’m like, “When?” and he goes, “Today” and now I’m totally going crazy, because I was drinking coconut water from a coconut that just came from Mexico!
Awesome.
While The Boss is working, and I’m job hunting, I’ve been getting us set up with bills and talking to our building manager. The gas guy had to come to fix our pilot light yesterday, and the maintenance man had to come by to fix two drawers and a cabinet, but since The Boss was going to be at work all day, I was like, “Well, what if they try to attack me or something?” and The Boss was like, “They won’t, Sabreen. Stop being paranoid” and I’m all, “Quick! Get me a knife!” and he’s like, “I am not getting you a knife,” and I’m like, “Whatev” but I started practicing my knife dance anyway, stabbing at the air to ensure I could stab with precision and accuracy in the event that I needed to stab someone with precision and accuracy.
I totally should have brought my Magic Bullet.
All our stuff is unpacked now, and even though I miss my family tons, I’m happy out here.
Once our place is totally set up, I’ll be sure to post pictures to share.
Oh, and hey…thanks, Readers. You know, for all your well wishes and hanging out while I moved.
The Boss thinks that it’s just me and him in Cali, but I totally know that you guys are out here with me too.

Are those Burberry boots I see? Haha. Totally into you Fendi-esque luggage btw! I’m in love with coconut juice too, just had it recently in fact!
Hi Nashe. Hi Nusayba. I left those pretty rain boots at home since it doesn’t rain in L.A. — but they are so wonderful, I blogged about them:)(http://sliceoflemon.com/?p=326)
The luggage, not Fendi:), was a gift from my mom when I got married. It’s by a company called Bellini, which I just tried to Google, but ended up at a baby and teen furniture Web site. So…not sure what’s going on there:)
Hi Sabrina: Glad to see you’re settling in in Cali. You have to slowly ease into the laid back California lifestyle so take it easy girl. I’m sure you’ll have plenty to talk about once you get more familiar with the surroundings. Go Cali…………..
MashAllah Sabrina..that was fast! You got set up all ready! So…when ya coming back?
Btw, Aadam apparently misses his teacher, lol. Yesterday he told me that he has to get his papers together because his teacher is waiting for him..I’m like, you haven’t been in class for weeks buddy, what are you imagining this time!
