Food and belly dancing, oh my

[glacier_kitty]

Yesterday mom and I went to visit a guy she used to work with (Gus) that recently retired and his wife and four kids. They live an hour or so from grandpa's house. Along the way we shopped at Bealls and got lunch, which was a mistake cause his wife made lunch and like forced us to eat two sandwiches haha. They're both from Jordan, which is cool. We hung out at their house for awhile and checked out some shops after their kids got home from school. We went to dinner at a Persian-Mediterranean restaurant. I really wasn't hungry yet, but I still ate some..it was pretty good. I was STUFFED but Gus's wife was like "eat more, please! Get some more!" I was like OMG no way lol. I hate when people do that. :P On Friday and Saturday they have a belly dancer for entertainment. That was cool..I could never move my body like that haha. People literally threw money at her haha! She performed three times..the third time was like 9 PM and we were some of the only customers left, so it was like a private show haha. Gus's wife danced with her..she OWNED it. She was so good!! I kinda wanted to dance to, but I was way too shy and scared. After dancing with other people at our table, she looked at me and I was like "uh oh, it's my turn!" haha. I grabbed mom when she took my hand and was like "you're coming with me, I'm not doing this alone!!" We probably looked like awkward flailing people, but whatever, it was fun haha. It's very rare I can let go like that, but I was like "you only live once right?" Gus's wife got us on video. D: I'm not sure if I ever want to see that haha. It was a fun night though. It was like 12:30 when we got back to grandpa's house..bed was nice :P

I keep hearing thunder and there are storms on the radar..we're under a tornado watch. Ughh..I hope we don't get anything too bad

That sounds like SO much fun!! Good for you for letting loose and getting out there like that! I don't think I would have been able to do that haha I get so shy in those kinds of situations, but I guess it was a little different since there weren't that many people there left. I love Persian-Mediterranean restaurants, the food is so good! I swear, forcing you to eat more and more and more must be a cultural thing around the Mediterranean, Arion's dad (from Greece) always used to do that to me when he was still alive. It was so hard!! Haha. I've seen belly dancing a couple of times, the one that sticks in my memory the most is at this Moroccan restaurant we went to in Alexandria, VA. It was so awesome, and people were also throwing money at her there too! Haha.

Be safe with the tornado watch, that's kinda scary.

Sounds like you had a lot of fun!!! :D

Yeah, I don't like it when people push food on me either - it's like enough is enough and you're satisfied, etc :)

Always nice to let loose :)
