Hello All,

Just wanted to share the news with you.. Maryam has arrived.. DaMoon had a C Section yesterda, and they're both are good alhamdolilah, she's sooooo gorgeous Masha'Allah 3leha..

And yah she was born on July 19th, that's my Mom's Birthday too :o).. Happy Birthday Mama..

Maryam

Salam,

28th Birthday

So yah last Tuesday was my birthday... I guess feeling like reaching # 30.. I wasn't really in the mood for a celebration :oS .. however a "Happy Birthday" wish coming out from Meral gave me a totally different feeling .. it filled me with heart with joy :oD

My DH got me this Nokia 5310 XpressMusic well it is ok.. I was in need for a new cell phone since my phone was throwing a blank screen at me, the only thing I didn't like about the new cell is the red color on it! Yalla 3adi I can live with that :o) .. so anyway.. adding the birthday and anniversary dates.. some notes and reminders to the calendar was my saviour last night at this very boring wedding I went to!!!

It's beach time, people should be at the beach enjoying themselves at this time of the year, but nop instead I'm stuck in my chair, it's depressing... well there is tomorrow, Friday, maybe I'll go some where with Mimi... we'll see!

...........!!!!

Dear Bloggers,

I miss you all, thanks for all of you who sent me emails and text messages and sorry for disappearing.

After the time and effort spent getting the application to sponsor my husband to Canada together, we sent every thing to Case Processing Center in Mississauga last January, and last week we received the approval letter from Canadian Embassy in Paris, we will receive the visa in few weeks. I did not expect it to be this quick, it took 6 months from the day we sent the application to the day we received the approval letter.. alhamdolilah!

Anyway.. having said that, we're leaving after Ramadan and Eid inshallah, I don't know for how long, at the beginning we're planning to stay there for 2 or 3 months, then we will see...

I am happy that I am going to be around Mom, my brothers and sister for a while, I miss them!

(well you can use the Libyan saying here “فرطاسة تتباهى بشعر اختها” lol it’s like to show off with something some one else did!

And yah.. Mom is here again.. she couldn't stand the depression of the winter in Canada.. she came back running... Well it's good to have her here.. cuz DaMoon & I missed her so very much...

Have I said that Meral became such a headache??.. a headache that u actually enjoy its pain!? She keeps talking asking and singing with her sharp voice saying.. mama mama what's this.. mama give me this ... mama I need this..so by the end of the day I just need some quiet sound-free environment ..ughh

Well got to go the documents piles on my desk are waiting for me :o(..

The Weather, Sweet Potato and Some Other Stuff!

Bloggers I missed you all..

Okay I am depressed, the weather has been really wintry for the last week, wind, rain and more rain.. and in such weather you can not do so much .. just stay home and ehhhh do NOTHING ... I hate TV, I had lots of time to write something new.. but really I didn't know what about and i wasn't in the mood to do so either..




then dang we bought some sweet potatoes and I said why not share my passion to this yummy yumm vegetable,.. I LOVE IT yup... well I love all kinds of potatoes.. all of its different colors and different types.. but I have a special passion for sweet potato so what I made with it.. well just the normal way of cutting it into halves wrapping it into aluminum sheet and have it cooked in the oven for about an hour then take it out unwrap it and put some butter on it.. YUMMO.. and if you watch me eat it... you'll be like.. what IS wrong with her.. I keep telling people that sweet potato is the most delicious food on earth.. even though I think I should try to make a real meal with it.. like roasted sweet potato salad or even sweet potato pasta, I found couple of recipes online I might try one soon ... well thanks for listening to my blah blah blah about sweet potatoes :oD

Anyhow, my sinuses are causing me a real bad headache.. today I had to leave early from work, I got to the point that I wasn't able to opne my eyes.. :o(.. inshallah the doctor's appt is gonna be on Saturday.. and hey guess what.. tomorrow is Friday.. yah my only day off work.. and I am supposed to do something different just so I can start fresh on Saturday.. but with this weather.. yah we're staying home.. I really don't want next week at work to start.. I need a break... a change of scenery.. will I ever get that? I don't think so.. at this point.. I have to say ALHAMDOLILLAH.. cuz the more I think about it.. the more things in my life seem unpleasant .. so ALHAMDOLILAAAH.. Alhamdolilah 3ala kul 7al..
