Well you heard me nag about not having a job and now I will bore you about being able to keep up with my job. I knew being new would be tough in any job, but oboy I didn’t expect this at all. My third week started great, I felt like I had a lot to do, but could manage some part of the work by myself. However, the office is ICE FREAKING COLD and its 41 degrees C outside. So thanks to that I have a cold now, greaaaaaat!!!! Have not been sick in ages and nooooow I am sick, great timing.
So going to work on Tuesday was kind of dramatic, since I kind of fainted at the metro, I could feel that something was wrong with my body and I felt really week in the morning. I didn’t get a seat on the train and halfway to work I ran out to through up. But nothing came out but found a seat to sit down for a bit and from there everything went very very blurry. I didn’t really faint cause I could still see a little, but not hear anything. I tried to hold on to my purse as much as a could, cause at that point robbing me wouldn’t be a problem.
So I was laying there like a homeless person and all I could think about was, OMG what do I do with work. It was an insane moment, cause I started to sweat like CRAZY. It was dripping from my head and I could feel that my face got all white. Finally after 5 minutes had the strength to call my Hubby who was in Kentucky. I knew he had a huge meeting and didn’t want to worry him, but at the point I didn’t know what to do. He told me to get a cab and get home as soon as possible and or he would call his dad. I finally got the strength to get up and the funny thing is that, people were walking by me like this was nothing was wrong with this situation. They must see so much weird things in this country haha.
Finally I came home (after a while) and managed to send a email to my boss since I didn’t have his number and explain the situation, but I felt so guilty being new and all, this is not how you want to be as a new person, sick the third week. Well I slept for 8 hours when I came home, totally in a come. Body = dead.
Time for bed again and I am doing my best to go to bed early, since I am very very bad at it. But I had a fever at work all day and hopefully some sleep will help. Tomorrow its FINALLY friday and I have set up a Iftari dinner at a Indian restaurant in Virginia for 14 people. So I look forward to that, I just have to rid of this cold, so that can enjoy the night.
I am back to my Old school eye cream that I used when I lived in Sweden. I am not using Anti Aging for another year, and this works for dark circle until then. USE EYECREAM, its very important, since the skin layer underneath the eye is not the same as the rest of the face. Be good with you face now and you wont regret it when you are 40.

1. Vegas show ready
Navy is my other love
I am bad at wearing colors, it happends sometimes, but Mint was probably the "it" color this year for sure.
I am a fall person when it comes to fashion, but you got to love the summer fashion too, ease and not so complicated. No jacket and no mess, just leave the house with your purse and sunglasses. You can also see my favorite color on clothes: Navy Blue :)
Ramadan begins = Food Food & food

So Sunday was my first day of fasting, and Hubby did It with me. The food wasn’t a problem, it’s the water. But the day went by fast. We watched three episodes of Games of Thrones, I like it but I am not sure Hubby did, since he was sleeping though some of it hehe. I baked some Bengali cookies for my mother in law and POFF it was time to eat, however, I always get a headache the first day. For the first time in a while we had the weekend off, without any plans and it was really nice. I spent most of the Saturday cleaning, but at night we went to Roshnis parents’ house and relaxed and just spent time with fun people. Sunday, we had dinner at my in-laws house and breaking fasting means A LOT OF FOOD basicly, eat until you puke :)
The next few weekends are packed with Ramadan breaking fasting dinners. I look forward to Friday since we are doing breaking at a restaurant together with a bunch of friends, I am trying to figure out where to eat. Many wills wants different things. I want either Indian, Persian or Afghani food YUM! The best part of this Ramadan is that I get to celebrate Eid with my parents and friends, super excited!
New week and new challenges and new things to learn…..Let’s do it!
Food coma after...
A little bit scary

Last night there was a shooting in Denver at the Batman premier and 12 people got shot and 79 people was hurt, and now me and Hubby are going to see the movie. I can't help to feel a little weird about it. But hopefully it should be fine. I am sooooo craving sushi now, but we have to see the line at the movies before we can eat, this country does not have seat number, which I DON'T UNDERSTAND. That would make going to the movies so much easier, it's all about first come first seats, kind of stressing.
I also have to say that I am sooo proud over my fasting friends, you guys are amazing. Last night me and Hubby got stuck in a froyo place cause its started to rain like crazy, or more like a thunder. It can never rain normal here....DRAMA!! OK, finally Friday and after week 2 I feel a little bit more independent and hopefully it will get better every week. I am looking forward to a realizing weekend, but I miss mamas iftari food ;(
Last night Froyo

Every weekend has been sooooo packed, so I look forward to have a calm weekend coming up. Ramadan starts too, so there will probably be a lot of Iftari parties and a lot of food. This is a dangerous month for me, cause I love Iftari food (breaking Fasting food). I can’t believe that I will be in Sweden in a month, to see my family, friends and their new babies. SUPER excited! It’s a short visit, but I will make sure I’ll have a lot of quality time, my best cousin from Bangladesh is coming to Sweden too, which is awesome. One month to go….
Hanging with the awsome Prahbu sisters..

Blogg torka oh yeah unfortunately. But as soon I used to dealing with this working and doing everything else, I will figure it out. The blog app does not work somehow, that would have been perfect. Anyway, I am having my lunch break. Work is good but def busy and I have still a lot to take in, but def. better than last week. Its like 40 degrees outside, but its nice at night time. I had time to do a quick weight gym training yesterday, today I am hoping to run in the afternoon and also clean the house. It’s still messy from our fun weekend. I’ll get back to you on that. We had a party and I went to an Afternoon tea Birthday party. I want to do so much when I come home, but the first part I spend on the sofa in a 30 min koma and then force myself to the gym or run (not everyday, 3-4 days a week). I also have to clean and do laundry, but I also want to go to the mall to pick up something. I also want to cook, since Hubbs is gone tomorrow. OMG I WANT TOO MUCH!
Yeiiiii time for Batman on Friday!!!!
Lalalalaaaa

Lyckade se skylten på långt håll.
Vi hyrde bil i LA för att kunna åka till stranden.
Lunch i Beverly Hills.
Blev så glad att se stranden och palmerna att jag var tvungen att krama ett träd.
Att cykla omkring var det mysigaste jag gjort på länge.

Idag så insåg jag att många av mina kläder inte passar mig längre och att jag behövde jobbkläder så min älskade man åkte till Mall med mig och han hittade tre jättefina byxor åt mig på New York & Co, en butik jag aldrig skulle gå in i själv men till min förvåning så hittade han de bästa byxorna. Jag blev såååå glad. Nu ska jag sova innan jag får skäll för att jag är trött på morgonen. CIAOOOO
Tappat massa massa hår, så jag köpte dessa två produker som tydligen ska hjälpa håret att växa och att få tillbaka dess glans.
Älskar att de passar min längd oxå, det händer aldrig.

Tack för en super helg....
Alltid lika spännande att se denna stad.
Leila hade tipsat om denna och vi råkade gå förbi den, lite pricy men såååååå värt vartenda öre.
Den godaste Benedicten jag ätit på länge.
Sista ögonblicket jag orkade gå med skorna innan det var dags för plattisar.
Vi hitta en ny favvobutik i Soho, Lollipop.
Konstigt nog var jag inte sugen på godis pga hettan, men nu har jag proppat i massa.
Middag på Buddakan.
Morgontur i Central Park, sååååå himla härligt dock varmt, men nästa år ska jag springa 1 mil på tjejmilen i NYC med kussen har jag bestämt.
View från Central Park
Mitt andra besök på denna fina lilla Laduree nära Central Park.
Fina kusin!
Jag tycker att Macarons är godaste färska, så jag köpte 6 st favvosar. Njuter av en varje dag.

Jag vet inte vart jag ska börja om jag ska vara ärlig, jag var borta i enbart 5 dagar, men det kändes som två veckor eftersom varje sekund var aktiv. Det var helt underbart att få komma bort och få se andra delar av USA. Jag har länge velat se Las Vegas och California och jag fick en preview som jag kallar det av det goda livet på Västkusten. Las Vegas eller Vegas som måste säga enligt min man, går inte att beskrivas eller visas med en iphone kamera, det är för maffigt och fantastiskt. Det finns något att se i varje hörn och man blir som ett litet barn och det går inte att ta in allt på två dagar, eftersom det finns hundratals ställen att gå till och mycket att se. Det finns tusentals av restauranger och jag som har beslutsångest ville dö. Vill definitivt åka tillbaka snart och njuta av den "coola" staden. Men för att inte skriva ett långtråkigt inlägg ska jag beskriva min resa i punkter.
- Landar i Vegas och tar på kort allt i varje hörn, men inget kort blir bra (måste köpa en riktig kamera) och blir häpen när jag ser vårt hotell Aria. Aria är ett av de nyare hotellen i Vegas tillsammans några andra hotellkedjor. Hotellet var det häftigaste jag sett och hade ett stort casino ställe (som alla hotell har), med 10 fantastiska restauranger, häftigt gym (som var fullproppat eftersom alla ska hänga vid poolen på dagarna och en lobby som jag skulle typ kunna hänga vid hela dagen). Fyra stora pooler och massa massa annat, jag såg säkert inte allt.
- Första dagen hade min man en kund middag så vi åt middag på Trevi på Ceasars Palace, helt ok, men Casinot var häftigt.
- Hubby hade köpt biljetter till O (Cirque de Soleil). Det bästa jag sett någonsin, man fick inte ta kort, men scenen blev en pool osv.
- Dag 2 spenderade vi vid poolen, men innan det så åt vi en fantastisk breakfast/brunch buffé vilket var det dummaste man kan göra innan man skall gå till poolen. Men fab var det och det skulle krävas en vecka för att smaka allt.
- Vandrade omkring och besökte Venician Casino och fick spendera lite låtsas tid i Italien, helt fantastiskt hur de har skapat hela atmosfären. I varje hörn finns det Italiensk gelato eller olika pastry shops och fantastiska fina restaurangen och shopping såklart. Man måste ha cash for sure när man kommer hit.
- Middag på hotellet och träffades en vän som bor i Vegas.
- Vidare till LA där vi hyrde bil och jag måste säga att självaste LA (Hollywood delen)var en besvikelse, trodde att det skulle vara mer, men jag hoppade till när jag såg Hollywoodskylten. Men jag blev nöjd när jag kom till Beverly Hills där vi åt lördagens lunch. Sedan vidare till Venice beach, vilket var det bästa jag gjort på länge. Vi hyrde cyklar och cyklade med många många många andra vid vattnet. Vårt mål var att åka till Malibu och tillbaka, men kom bara till Santa Monica och sedan vände tillbaka. FANTASTISKT!
- Dagen efter åkte vi till Laguna Beach där vi såg EM-finalen nära ett område vid Laguna Beach. Jag vet inte ärligt vad folk kan klaga på som bor där. De har allt, väder, pengar, hus, vatten och fantastisk omgivning, heaven säger jag bara.
- Från Laguna Beach åkte vi till San Diego och bodde på ett coolt hotell och spenderade kvällen på en mysig restaurang tills det var dags att säga Hejdå för den här gången.
Vi gjorde säkert mer saker, men detta är vad jag minns och jag längtar redan tillbaka till Vegas och hoppas att åka dit med massa folk och njuta av allt jag inte hann se :) Bilder kommer.....
