Deferred

Yesterday CAIR-AZ sponsored a Red Cross Blood Drive at ICC. ALhumdulilah it went pretty well. There was a steady flow of donors, although a few were deferred for differnt reasons, including myself. Apparently my hematocrit level was too low to donate. That means i don't have enough red blood cells. Oh well at least I tried. (Unlike some people who are too scared of needles...no names... but starts with a B and ends with a K.)

Later that night I went out to dinner with BK, HH, SH, F, A, and M. We went to Cafe Boa on Mill. I never knew tempe had cute restaurants like that. It reminded me of the time HS, AF and I went to that restaurant in Newport, RI. Our waitress kinda sucked big time. But she made it up when she took a couple pictures for us at the end. The food was great. According to HH they have THE BEST Italian food ever. They also have Live Jazz music which HH was a little too excited about.

After dinner, I finally got to ZA's grad party which I was supposed to go to originally. Got there right after they cut the cake. Said hi to a few people and left. ZA looked gorgeous mashaAllah.

Today I went to VS's house for dinner. I decided to wear my falestini thoub. SN wasn't gonna come, but i convinced him and told him to put on his thoub also. Then I made him wear a kuffiya and took some pics.
