~* Pashmina Princess *~

Assalaamu Alaikum :)

Don't you just hate those days when absolutely nothing is going right?

I had one of those days today.

I was expecting to receive something I needed from the Director at the School today. Unfortunately, she did not have it ready so my plans were delayed. That did not make me happy because I really wanted to get that out of the way. Insha'Allah, in a couple of days.

Due to that, my trip to York was a waste. Actually it wasn't. I was able to meet up with a dear friend whom I rarely see because she just has to live SO FAR from me. It was a nice time to chit-chat just before her Marketing Exam ... dun dun DUN! Anyways, before I met up with her, I stopped by Inkblotz. I had to, I always do. It does not help that they display all their beautiful Pashmina scarves right outside of the store. I become so entranced with it and walk in that direction even if I am not interested in purchasing them *sigh* my weakness ... what can ya do? Now that I am not at York, my trips to that store have greatly decreased. So, I take advantage of it whenever I do make my way there. I bought two more! (I have quite the collection, they make such gorgeous hijabs!) One of them was a white one. A white one. I don't do white hijabs. I don't think it goes well with my complexion but I have been itching to have one so I bought it. And you know what, it was not so bad. I am sure the people who know me are aware that they have never seen me in a white hijab and when I begin to wear it, they'll question me haha I rarely did black as well but I have been wearing it a lot more often these days. I love dressing up as a goth sometimes ... yes I know, you didn't need to know that.

Where was I going with this story? Oh right ... so I entered the store with my two Pashmina's and the lady working there has my face ingrained in her memory now because I used to go there so often. She starts to laugh as soon as she saw me. Okay lady, I am not that goofy looking :( I asked her why she was laughing at me and she says ...

Lady - Do you know what my husband and I call you?
Me - Umm ... no ... ( at that point, I'm thinking, "why are you even calling me anything?! )
Lady - the Pashmina Princess
Me - *giggles with an aww*
Lady - We don't know your name so that is what we call you ...

I liked that. I think I will legally change my name to Pashmina Princess ... hmm, maybe even change the name of my blog!

Stay tuned!

Pashmina Princess, you are totally making me miss York and the server at Falafel Hut Village who used to remember my name!

Doesn't it make you feel good to be remembered? It takes a special person to leave a lasting memory in someone's head ;)

There's always a nice feeling when visiting York but at the same time, you're filled with the feeling that you don't belong there anymore :( I rarely went into Falafel Hut Village :/
Doctah
Please read the post carefully. And yes, I do pray that Allah Swt showers me with love and happiness insha'Allah. *hands you a bucket*

Pashmina Princess sounds pretty cool - though I have to say, it doesn't sounds like you had too much of a bad day!

I always thought the point of hijab was to hide a woman's beauty, not to enhance or to draw attention to it as in wearing an attractive (pretty) hijab.
