Thanksgiving holiday

Unlike most of the population, I cannot really can't consider Thanksgiving holiday to be a long weekend, cos we work the day after Thanksgiving for obvious reasons. So hope you had fun shopping on Black Friday while I was at work, where it was busier and a longer day!


Anyways, I did enjoy my day off. Sometimes, you don't need plans, especially when you are not in a travel/explore mood, you can ofcourse do a 100+ things at home to entertain yourself. To begin with, waking up late and looking forward to doing "nothing" was great. The day just passed by with goofing around with dh at home. We cooked together, watched The Illusionist. Both of us enjoyed the mystery filled, tricky movie.

After a nap, we had masala chai and snacks to pamper ourselves. Also chatted with folks back home and shopped online as we found some good deals! Mainly got clothes, sweater and ,per dh,yet another handbag (LOL). Now I can't for those shipments to arrive!

To sum it up, we had no family get-together, we had no turkey feast or anything fancy for the holiday but it felt like one of those good holidays and a much wanted break! So Thank you, God!

I think that pretty much sums up the meaning of Thanksgiving! Sounds like you had a good break. Glad to see you're posting again.. visited after a while. I would have worked the day after as well but took the week off to use up my vacation time.

Finance and Economics talkies

So as to summarize the happenings on these areas so far, The Chinese yuan has been revaluated ,thats up 2.1 pc against the USD .Good for the Yuan but not so good news for the middle east currencies that are pegged against the dollar!We are going to find our weekly grocery bills shoot up in sometime,it should not be a surprise considering a country like UAE where 80 pc of the goods are imported.Much the same would happen to the OMR,SAR ,QRD and BHD. So my nation and favorite market has signed the prestigious N-deal.I wonder how things will be in the future.What reactions would come across for the several tests done and so on.Also very hazy about what the rising foreign reserves are going to serve by year 2010.Ofcourse credibility and all but stocking up about $662 million,is that such a good idea moving forward?! Etisalat have signed the MoU with Sudan's Unity.The farsight of this company has been excellent so far.Spreading investments through out this region since their monopoly is...
