It's been a while since I posted but I am here now. My life has not been very exciting lately. Who knows when we will go on a cruise, the poor trees that I purchased in June still have not become one with the earth and me, well I have NOT been exercising. I think about it everyday, but in the evening I am too tired. I think that I will try to exercise at the beginning of the day. Inshallah.

My husband got a job. I don't think we are going to be rich yet, but it is more money than he was making.

I went to the movies... I saw T3. It was pretty good. It seems he might be back yet again.


Hasta la vista Baby!

I want to go on a CRUISE!!!
Calgon, Take Me Away!

Ok, now I am ready to go to the Bahamas but I can't find a room on a ship. Go figure! I shall continue my search.

Why does my stalker think that I am Suzzy. Oh to be 17 again NOT once is enough. I have already told all my friends that I am 34, you know twice 17, really!!! I don't act like I am 17 and dear Suzzy doesnt act like she is 34, so why does my little pal (stalker) think this???

I do like Miss Suzzy, but I am not her. I am me, you know Mistaken Identity... Is this not exactly that? A case of Mistaken Identity.

Blogging, Cindy and New York City...

It seems like that I haven't been able to blog for the longest time. The reason for this is that my husband has been home alot lately. When he is home I can't blog at leisure. You see I haven't told him about my blog. I figured this would be a place for me and me alone. And of course you folks too!

Where did Cindy go? Does anyone know? Maybe I will start a blog called Where is Cindy? forget Raed, Where is Cindy? May Allah keep her well.

We have a wedding to go to in NYC. It will be at the end of July. I am not sure if we will be able to go. As my husband will probably be starting his new job just then and it would not look good if he asked for time off right away. It would be nice to go though. I always enjoy visiting the city of my birth. New York is fun and exciting and there is so much good food there. I just can't imagine myself living there again though. It is too crowded for me now.

If I go I will have some Mr. Softee ice cream, it is the best ice cream ever!!!

My hubby got a job!

My hubby got a job! All we need now is the board results. InshaAllah he will pass.

He is going to be the clinic director. I am not exactly sure what that means, but I do know that we are going to have more money! I am very excited.

I am having a hard time waiting for the results though. They wont be here until the first week of July. I seems like a hundred years from now. I think I will go check the mailbox now...

This-or-That-Tuesday

June 17: Reading

1. Newspapers or magazines? Whatever I can get my hands on.

2. Books-on-tape or regular books? I love the feel of a book in my hands, so regular books it is.

3. Paperback or hardcover? Whatever, I'm easy to please.

4. Fiction or non-fiction? Fiction mostly, but sometimes I will read non-fiction and alot of how to books.

5. Sci-Fi/Fantasy or romance novels? Sci-Fi/Fantasy, definitely.

6. Borrow from library or buy books (either new or used)? Always borrow from the library, I would spend all of my money on books if I bought all the books I read.

7. Subscribe to magazines or buy on newsstand? I usually subscribe to stuff I must read. For example I have a subscription to Reader Digest and a couple of computer magazines, also a Travel magazine, exciting huh?

8. Current best-sellers or classic literature? Best sellers and whatever my interest is at the moment.

9. Read books once, or re-read favorites every so often? Once is usually enough.

10. Here in the U.S., we have two hot best-sellers...former First Lady Hillary Clinton's memoirs, and the new Harry Potter book (coming out June 21). If you had to read one, which one...Hillary or Harry? Why?
I would probably read Harry. I don't like Hillary.

I really do love to read. I just wish I had more time for it.

Laundry, Cruises and Chiropractors...

Today I spoke to my friend in Jordan. She says she can't get used to living there again. She has been washing clothes since morning and now it was Asr time and she was not finished yet.

This makes me realize how we (meaning I) take things for granted. I just put my clothes in the machine and go on with my merry business. Later, when I remember, I hang up or put in the dryer the clothes. I don't think about it much. I just do it. But my poor friend is shackled to her laundry and it is taking her all day long :( Poor girl.

I still have not gone on my cruise. It seems that it wont stop raining in the Bahamas. Everytime I want to make reservations, I check the extended forecast and it is RAINING. I think I might have to wait until July. I hope we get to go.

My husband is looking for a new job. He has gone on a few interviews, so InshaAllah something will work out. Did I mention that he is a Chiropractor? Well he is and he just took the last exam to be licensed in this state. Up to now he has been working as a teacher, until he gets licensed.

The big debate in my house has been whether he should work for someone else or start his own practice. They each have their pros and cons. If he works for someone else, he would have a steady paycheck, he can go on vacation, he wont have to worry about marketing, but of course he won't be making as much money as if he worked for himself. Now if he starts his own practice then he will need alot of money to start it, which we dont have. And he would be taking all the risks as well as all the rewards.

I just don't know. We have been making duah, May Allah lead us to the best path. Ameen.

Oh, before I forget we will get the results of his state exam in the beginning of July. I will let you know when we get it.

This was the trip that never ended, it just went on and on...

Yesterday, I went on a long road trip with my husband. He had to go to a job interview and I went along to keep him company on the road. We made a few wrong turns and almost ended up in Albuquerque (not really). It was long and I missed my kids. When I came back it was so nice to see them. I feel bad for women who have to go to work everyday and spend most of the day away from their little ones.

This morning I was holding my 3 year old and it felt so good. I just wanted that moment to last forever. They really do grow up too fast.

I was reading about Sultaana Freeman and I am amazed at how brave she is to take on the state of Florida in court. I don't know that I would have had the courage to do something like that. May Allah help her during these trying times. Ameen.

Dreams, Cruises and other stuff!

Wow, it's been a week since I posted! I still have not put the plants in the ground yet. I have exercised twice this week! Yeah!!! (I shall take my standing ovation now.) My life has not been too exciting lately. However, it is about to get exciting.

My husband wants to go on a cruise!!! He is getting some extra money and he wants to go pronto. So in the next couple of weeks we may be going, Inshallah. I can't wait to go snorkeling. I enjoy it sooo much. Did I tell you that the last time I went, I had fish coming up to me? Not just any fish but beautiful tropical fish! It was like a dream and very romantic too.

Also I have been thinking about a home business. I was supposed to start one before on the internet but that kind of fizzled. So now I am thinking about something else. I am thinking about selling cruises from home. What you do is you take some classes and sign up with a company and then put your number in an ad in the phone book and advertise on the Sunday paper and when people call, just give them good prices and before you know it, I am going on cruises with my new earned money! Well, maybe it wont be sooo easy, but you get the picture.

I have been debating whether or not to put this here. I figure it would be ok, I hope. Next week, a lady and her 2 kids are going to be moving in with us. Suffice it to say that she is a Niqabi, a widow and very nice. Please make duah for us that this works out, Inshallah. I will keep you posted.
