Sorry I have not posted in a long time

Salam Sisters, I have had a lot going on and neglected my blog.I have had alot of problems and just been trying to deal with life i will be back soon and be able to start blogging again. I just thought i would let you all know that i am still here just otherwise engaged with life. will catch you all up later.

I Moved!!

Salam Sisters, I moved so i just got my Internet back on today. I am excited we got a bigger and better apartment (townhouse) and i will have a washer and dryer put in soon, no more going to the laundry (YAY). I got brand new carpet and Its just nice and relaxing!! The other place i lived i felt like i lived in the ghetto..lol!! Always cops and you could here gunshots sometimes and the neighbors were always fighting. It was miserable. Now maybe i can get back to my less stressful life and maybe back to my diet and walking and lose some weight. I had lost around 70# 3 years ago and i gained 25# back so that is depressing. I went to put on some of my summer stuff to wear around the house and it is all tight...uuggg...I felt so bad!! It makes you feel depressed and dissappointed and like a failure when you work so hard to lose weight and then gain some of it back and losing weight is a very hard thing to do!! Keeping it off is just as hard as losing it. I still have a long way to go!! I dont want to be really skinny just healthy and able to shop for cute clothes instead of settling for what fits me. But anyways i have to say that i am happier in my new apartment. So that will be a plus in mine and Aziz's life. So I will post later sisters when i have time. You all have a great day

Anonymous

I know I shouldnt let this anonymous person get to me, but I cannot believe the way people are in this world. One of my pet peaves is ignorant people. Who judge people and talk bad about people they dont even know!!!

Birthday Party

Today we went to my little cousins 8th Birthday Party at Incredible Pizza it was fun we have been stressed so it was nice to just have some fun for a little while. Here are a few pictures...

Couscous Cafe

We went to the Couscous Cafe...its my husbands favorite place...he said he feels like he is in morocco when he goes there. We had Lamb and Couscous and Milfay for dessert OMG it was so good fresh made...yummy!! here is a pic of me at couscous all the moroccan talk i got bored so i was playing with the iphone...

Its a nice place to relax and feel like you are somewhere else...but if you know moroccans they never get in a hurry so i take a book or something to occupy myself while he visits all his friends. Well I am gonna post a couple of other things then i better go Salam Sisters!!

I need your Dua's Please

Salam Sisters, Well if you read earlier posts you know i have relatives living with me. well all of them have left but one and he had nowhere to go at all because he has problems with alcohol and he has burnt all his bridges with everyone else. We wanted to give him a chance and try to help him to get his life back on track...so my husband Aziz found him a job as a mechanic with a moroccan guy that is his friend and he has been staying with us and doing really good...UNTIL...TODAY...Aziz sold his car so that he could buy a taxi which means we dropped our insurance on it but it needed some work so before we signed the title over we took it too my cousin at the shop he works at and gave him $100 to fix all the little stuff that it needed....So today i get a phone call from the police and they ask me " do you know so and so" I said "yes hes my cousin" They said "do you own a toyota camry" I said "yes" they said did it have damage to the passenger side and 2 flat tires last time you saw it" I said "no" well i had to go meet the police my cousin is so drunk he cant talk and has wrecked Aziz's car!! so needless to say we had to give the guy back his money so now no taxi and no car to sell and We dont know what is gonna happen for now.

I know Allah works in mysterious ways so i just have to say Hamdullah and know that there is a reason this all happened but Aziz is just beside himself, and I am hurt that because of my family my husband is hurting!! I am up now because i have such a headache and i cant sleep. So please keep us in your dua's and pray that Allah helps us to get everything worked out and that our life can get back on track. That is alot to happen in the 6 months that we have been married and i just feel sick from it.

Business Update

For the last few days me and my cousin have been painting the building and getting it ready..well we finished and now in the morning we are going to get the equipment and bring it up here and get everything set up and ready to go. I am ready to get started but i am nervous because now we have a big payment. But I know I have to trust in Allah (SWT) that everything is going to be ok. I think that we will do good insha allah!! Well its late and I need to sleep so i can get up early...may Allah bless you in all that you do...goodnight sisters.

CousCous Cafe

Salam Sisters, Tonight me and Aziz went to eat at the CousCous Cafe. I ate Chicken Tagine with couscous and water i also had milfay for dessert, yummy!! Aziz had a Kofta Sandwich and fries and a homemade yogurt and a coke. There were alot of our friends there and we had a good time. I have learned since i dont know the language to take things to keep me busy, a book, my computer, a notebook to write in or something because when we go there we are on Moroccan time and we stay there forever. But it makes Aziz happy because it reminds him of home, so i dont mind. Then we came home and Aziz went to work hes working the night shift tonight...uggg!!! I miss him...but we have to pay the bills! Beslama!!

New Business

Salam Sisters, Well I am excited and nervous at the same time. I am taking over my moms screenprinting business. I will be moving it here this week and trying to get it all back in order. I have so much to do. I need dua's that everything works out good. It is a very big undertaking and I am nervous. I will be getting the website ready and will post a link to it so you all can see it.

Going to try and learn Standard Arabic

I went to the libray today and checked out begginer standard arabic. I think its going to be hard but i want to learn it. I think not only will i be able to understand the Quran but also it will help me to learn Moroccan Arabic too. by learning the sounds of the vowels and hearing and saying it over and over keep me in your dua's that it will come easy to me...inshallah

Curve Balls

I swear life is full of curve balls and they keep getting thrown at me and Aziz! We just got our own place with no room mates and we finally had time for ourselves and peace! But then along came my cousin his wife my other cousin and their uncle. Who lost their jobs and need somewhere to stay!! So we are helping them!! I know its the right thing to do because they would have had to sleep on the street somewhere and I cant let family do that. They have been with us for 8 days now things are looking up 2 found a job but pray for them to have a better life and to find jobs and be able to get back on track. and pray for me and Aziz to have patience to be able to have a house full of people again. Talk about tight we have 6 people 1 momma cat 4 baby kittens and a puppy...uggg....we are crowded in a two bedroom apartment....humdullah

Hubby Hurt Himself

SOCCER....SOCCER...SOCCER!!! Aziz was playing goalie last night at indoor soccer and he blocked a ball with his hands and it was a strong kick and it bent his wrist too far back...so pain and discomfort...i hope its just sprained and not cracked!! but we will see i bought him a cold pack and a brace to keep it from moving so we leave it to Allah!! to see if it heals and if not off to the hospital!!!

WOW

I had another Jewelry party on Sunday and it was the biggest party i ever had...humdullah...it was a $2000 party....i was soooo surprised but it was GREAT!!!!

Jewelry Party/Missing Hubby

Well I had my jewelry party and everything went pretty good I have another one on Sunday and then I get to go home to my husband. I have been at my Mom's house since Wednesday Night and I am missing Aziz so much. We are hardly ever apart for more than a couple of days. Except for when he went to morocco for 2 months and I thought i was going to DIE!! It seems like i am not complete unless he is with me or near me!! But tomorrow is Saturday so just one more day!!!YAY!!!

Baby Kitty Cats

My Cat Zweena just had 4 adorable little babies. I had to help her a little bit because this was her first time to have kittens and she was scared and a little freaked out...I was too..it was my first time to see an animal born in person. It was amazing!! Anyways when they are bigger and able to play i will take pictures and name them.

My New Puppy

I posted pictures back before i even got her. I have her now and she is so sweet and a terror too!! I got her when she was 6 weeks old and now she is 10 weeks today WOW i have had her month! Anyways she is potty trained now and she loves her toys and chewing on everything trying to break her from that Aziz and his poor shoe strings. I told him to put his shoes up, but he didnt listen and now they are shredded on the ends. but she is getting better i scold her and give her a chewy so she will learn to chew that instead and its working slowly. She is very smart she can fetch her toys already and Aziz is teaching her to shake...lol...when they play together i have trouble deciding which one is cuter Aziz or the Puppy...I think Aziz!!! but i am gonna add some pics of her i took them with the web cam because my camera got stolen out of Aziz's car and we havent replaced it yet because of the Frugal Theme we are on right now!! OK so here she is:

Zozee sitting on a little stool

Zozee sitting on the desk

Zozee standing on the couch

Zozee laying on the couch what a cutie

Ok girls I really am going to sleep now i just forgot to mention her in my last post. So goodnight and have a good day tomorrow.

Time Flies

Oh WOW time flies when your doing NOTHING!! i havent been on here lately and I am sorry to all the girls who like to see what i am doing even when its boring. But I havent been doing anything and that is the truth!! I dont know whats wrong with me I have turned into the couch I think not just sitting on it. I gained like 15 pounds since November maybe 20 I am afraid to get back on the scale. I feel like a failure because I worked so hard to lose 70 pounds and now i can only say 50 thats so BAD!! I just cant get motivated. We are trying to be Frugal...lol...thats a funny word...frugal, frugal, frugal!!! Its late I am delirious!! Ok well i decided to take one step to start my Premier Designs Jewelry business back up so i can make some money!!! The first thing i am gonna do is when its that week that we cant pray because mother nature is visiting. I am gonna go get a Mani/Pedi!! I cannot wait!! I really love to get my feet done! I have two parties this month. so i hope they are good ones. so i can make lots of money to shop with. I want to go Thrift Store Hopping and try to find some cute stuff that is cheap so i can keep with the Frugal Theme...lol...i just had to say it one more time. But I have been working hard to get it up and running again!! So then when thats all situated and Im making some money I am going to buy a new pair of walking shoes. because my others are old and they HURT!! Then its starting to get warmer which is another reason i probably gained some weight is that me and cold weather do not get along at all. I freeze to death!! Then I will make a plan like i did last time and eat right and exercise and walk everyday and just maybe i will lose the rest of the weight that i need to lose. I been watching Biggest Loser for some inspiration..i think its helping a little!! I havent added any Darija words but i will in the next couple of days or so maybe Sunday when I can ask My Husband for some new material. I think i should be done getting the business back on track by Sunday, then I will get out all my old fitness magazines and looking at all those skinny girls will make me sick enough about myself that i will make myself workout thats what helped last time. Motivation I NEED SOME Motivation!! I do have a pair of FAT Pants that I try on every once in awhile to remind myself that i dont want to be able to fit in them again. OH and no more soft drinks :( my downfall!! I always feel better after I stop drinking Soda but the first week or so is so BAD i get a headache and i feel sick and its just torture. I know I will never be a super model but super wife will be Just Fine!! My Hubby teaches karate but it isnt my thing. i am not good at it really i think its the coordination thing i tend to be off balance it might be easier after i lose more weight. I am just going on and on, who knew i had so much of nothing to talk about. My New Friend Tawnee is the reason i blogged today she sent me the sweetest email!! So thanks Tawnee for getting me back on here!! But girlies its really late and i need to sleep a little. but i will be back again soon!!

Anonymous

Has anyone else gotten ugly comments from some girl thats anonymous? Shes a real whack job...she left me 9 comments and they were all bashing arab people and me for wearing the hijab. Some people just SUCK!! I cant believe someone would even come on here and waste that much of there time being so negative...she was talking about how wonderful her fiance is and that my husband sucks....well i guess she needs to get a life with her fiance or she wouldnt have so much free time to sit around on the computer reading everyones blogs and bashing them for no reason except for her closed minded stupidity. I am really in disbelief right now im trying to pick my chin up off the ground..really because she insulted everything from our looks to our culture to everything...I cant even believe what i just read. i deleted them and what she said didnt even get to me I just really feel sorry for people like that...We come on here to share our experiences and make new friends some that will not last and some that may last a life time...we are not hurting anyone or doing anything wrong...we are respectful and respectable people with a shared religion or interest. So GO AWAY you losers that like to try and make people feel bad so you can feel good...when all your really doing is showing how big of an idiot you are...Ok I feel better now...lol!!!

pictures

I dont know about you guys but i like blogs that have pictures. It seems like when people put lots of pics of themselves and the things that they are talking about that is makes a blog more personal and you get to know that person and who or what they are about a little more...What do you think? I tend to post alot of pics. I like it. do you?

So here are some pics that me and Aziz took recently:

Aziz brought me this necklace from morocco it is Berber.

This is the day we got our marriage license.

This was after Karate the other night.

We were goofing off on the webcam a couple of days ago!

Just a few pics i wanted to share with you all..Hope your all having a great start to the New Year!!

New Years
