I Moved!!

2010-06-08T14:49:00.002-05:00

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

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

2010-05-09T07:40:00.000-05:00

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

2010-05-09T07:31:00.000-05:00

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

2010-05-06T05:29:00.000-05:00

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

2010-05-02T01:05:00.000-05:00

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

2010-05-02T00:59:00.000-05:00

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

2010-04-25T18:43:00.000-05:00

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 will be getting the website ready and will post a link to it so you all can see it.

Curve Balls

2010-04-01T01:29:00.000-05:00

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

2010-03-29T19:38:00.000-05:00

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

2010-03-29T19:35:00.000-05:00

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

2010-03-27T02:00:00.000-05:00

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

2010-03-15T21:30:00.000-05:00

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

2010-03-13T05:54:00.000-06:00

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

2010-03-13T05:41:00.000-06:00

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!!

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

2010-01-04T06:39:00.000-06:00

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

2010-01-04T06:22:00.000-06:00

Here are a couple of pics of us on new years in downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA it was so cold!!! but we had fun!!

Been Busy

2010-01-03T21:10:00.000-06:00

Hello everyone, I have just been busy with the holidays and visiting family. but really not a whole lot to tell. I am getting a new puppy in 8 weeks it was born on 12/31/2009 almost a new years puppy. here is a few pics:

its a little girl Chihuahua and we are naming her Zoz which means cutie in moroccan arabic. I have a cat her name is Zwina which means beautiful in Moroccan arabic. so i guess we are sticking to a theme...ha ha!! here is my cat!

Moroccan Cuisine

2009-12-20T21:03:00.000-06:00

I love Moroccan Food...but I have never had it made by a Moroccan Woman just My Husband and his friends....So I am looking forward to going to Morocco and having the good stuff and learning how to make it myself. So what i have learned form them I have kind of taken what they know and added my own twist. I make Moroccan American Cuisine...It has the spices and the basics of Moroccan food but i prepare it in an American way...I like cooking...Aziz and I are looking for our own apartment so we dont have any room mates. It will be alot better then...when you have alot of boys in a house the food magically disappears...so when i have my own kitchen I will be able to keep food more than a few hours and actually have some leftovers...Anyways i need to go so will write more later....

Ttawa

2009-12-20T20:48:00.001-06:00

Salam Sisters

Beef Ttawa I don't measure so i will approximate....This is prepared in a 9X13 baking pan (Ttawa)

1 pound of ground beef ( you can just piece it out or make meatballs)
3 cloves of garlic (minced)
3 roma tomatoes (diced)
Carrots (i use the baby ones but if you have big ones just cut them into pieces so they cook fast)
1/4 cup of cilantro (finely chopped)
1/4 cup of parsley (finely chopped)
4 potatoes (peeled and large dice)
Oil (enough to coat all the veggies so the spices stick to them)
Spices (i dont measure just put what i think is a good amount)
Salt, Pepper, Paprika, Cumin, Ground Saffron or yellow coloring, little garlic salt)

Now mix all the veggies, herbs, spices, and oil together in the pan
In a bowl mix the beef with a little bit of all the spices so that it will have a good flavor and not be bland. then make it in pieces or meatballs. and lay it evenly on top of the vegetables add some water (about 1cup or 1 1/2 cup if you like it to have some juice.

Then everyone eats out of the same pan with bread.

ENJOY!!

Added new Darija

2009-12-18T14:24:00.002-06:00

Salam Alikum,

I added a few new words to the Darija check it out at the bottom right corner.

Darija

2009-12-17T02:24:00.001-06:00

I love this Blog called 760 Days in Morocco but she has decided to stop blogging. She is going on to other things but she has a page called Darija which is Moroccan Arabic words. It was one of my favorite parts of her blog and so i have decided to try and do it on my blog. So coming soon there will be some Darija on here for those of you who would like to learn some Moroccan Arabic. Look at the bottom under the Blog Archive on the right side. That is where the list of Darija will Begin. Stay Tuned in for more words coming very soon.

Dishes

2009-12-17T02:09:00.000-06:00

Salam Sisters,

Cocot, Tagine, Gameela, Ttawa these are some of the names that my husband calls dishes he makes.

COCOT

TAGINE

GAMEELA

TTAWA

We are having Ttawa tonight with ground beef, potatos, onion, carrot, garlic, parsley, cilantro, oil, water, and spices. Aziz cooked tonight. He cooks pretty good. I have learned to make Moroccan Tea very good, I LOVE IT!! I also learned to make Moroccan Coffee too. My first Ramadan I went to the CousCous Cafe for breakfast (futr) and i had coffee cream it was good so i played around with the instant coffee sugar and milk and it is really good I figured out that you can make the milk foam using the microwave. Here is How.

I fill my coffee cup with milk and then i pour it in a tall glass then i put it in the microwave till the milk is hot maybe like 2 minutes depending on your microwave then i add one teaspoon of folgers instant cofee and sugar to taste. then i put it back in the microwave and i put it on 2 minutes with the light on so i can watch it the milk will start rising up the glass and make a foam thats why it needs to be a tall glass. when it rises to the top stop the microwave and let it go back down then start it again and let it rise up then stop it again usually 2 times is enough then pour it back into the coffee cup be careful cause it is very hot use a pot holder or towel. and you have coffee cream with foam. DELICIOUS try it and tell me what you think. ok

Well we are fixin to eat so will blog later!!!

cooking

2009-12-15T21:35:00.000-06:00

I am making gameela with chicken potatos carrots tomatos, onions, cilantro, garlic, parsley, and lots of spices. This is my 2nd attempt to make a gameela and the first one was good everyone loved it but i think this one is going to be better...I want to learn how to make all the moroccan food...insha Allah one day i can learn from Aziz's Mom....I am just writing a blog right fast while i am waiting for it to finish cooking. this is also my first time using a pressure cooker. My aunt had a bad experience with a pressure cooker once so i am scared of them!!! but so far so good insha Allah. Later sisters gonna eat!!!

Feeling Better

2009-12-12T18:35:00.000-06:00

I had a great suggestion from my new friend (t) she said i should start doing something that I love...Aziz said the same thing so i figure they are right. I love to make my Tutu's and I love to sing....so i decided to make my new blog http://mimeestutus.blogspot.com/ and i went to youtube and did a little bit of karaoke...lol and i am starting to feel a little more like ME!!

New Blog MIMEE'S TUTUS

2009-12-12T18:20:00.002-06:00

I am in the process of getting all that organized and worked out right now so keep checking in for new items and follow my new blog.

Thank You

2009-12-10T08:10:00.001-06:00

Well I have been a little bit depressed I am Muslim but being american and christian for many years the holidays are a big part of my life getting together with family and friends. But I have moved a few hours away from my family and I am 17 hours away from my son I have been feeling a little depressed about the distance a little homesick. Which causes Aziz to feel bad because he hates when i am unhappy...he said his goal is to make me happy all the time and he feel frustrated that he cant really do anything to help with this...but thanks to my new email pen pal we will call her (t) I have been coming out of it a little...she checks on me everyday if I havent blogged she wants to know if I am ok...I need to get back to myself so i can get to know her better I think we will be good friends. She checks on me more than my own family does...SO THANK YOU (t) for helping me feel better!!!

Adventurous Day!!

2009-12-07T22:31:00.000-06:00

Salam Alikum Sisters....Well I went to bed really late because I was watching tv on the internet...And time just flew by so I decided to sleep in late...wrong answer...a million phone calls and text messages and no sleep so i got up and took a shower and got dressed because i had to go to the laundry and wash Aziz's Karate Gi well I locked my keys in my car...I called Aziz to tell him and he said Oh my whats wrong with us I broke my iphone today and you locked your keys..he told me just say humdullah so i said it over and over but anyways... Aziz was working and couldnt come to my rescue and I couldnt get it open with a hanger and it was freezing outside today and i was freezing because i had on ballet flats thank Allah for the hijab at least my head was warm....so i had to pay this guy $30 to come and unlock my car...I think I need to become a locksmith it took him about 45 seconds to open the door. WOW!! then i get to the house and we went to karate and guess what...Aziz said Oh you washed the wrong Gi I needed the other one but its ok!!! So thats my adventurous day.

No Excuse Really

2009-12-04T18:25:00.000-06:00

Sorry sisters, I know I havent posted in a while, but i really have no excuse...not a good one anyway...really nothing interesting has been happening. I am just trying to get back on track with having the stomach bug and then the kidney infection...I believe I am going to have to go back to the doctor because everytime I eat I get a stomach ache...I dont know what is wrong with me I havent been sick in 2 years now I am sick all the time..maybe its stress and nerves...I hate going to the doctor...but maybe they will figure it out and get me back to normal...insha Allah!!

Sick AGAIN!!

2009-11-30T13:51:00.000-06:00

Salamz Sisters....I have been sick again...I just got over the stomach virus now I have a kidney infection...very painful!! I knew it would come soon enough because i have been very lucky i have not been sick in almost 2 years besides the occasional sinus problem. So anyways...i got some antibiotics and I am drinking cranberry juice and lots of water and i am starting to feel better already...so talk to you later!!

THEIFS

2009-11-30T13:47:00.000-06:00

Hubby's car got broken into and they stole his GPS and his camera and his spare cellphone. At least I put all the pictures on the computer the other day...Thanks you Allah!! They were all the nikah pics and all his pics from his visit to morocco. He was very upset because he usually brings them inside the house and he forgot to do it that night. He is ok today though he started his new job and with this job he will have time to pray at the right times...he texted me earlier and said he was at the Mosque and that he is very happy with this job. Insha Allah everything stays good.

Eid (NOT)

2009-11-27T23:50:00.000-06:00

Aziz went to by a lamb today because it was the first chance to get to go out to the farmer who sales them. It is about an hour drive from us...I had to work 12 hours today and alot of our friends also had to work. I think living in a country like Morocco as a muslim would be nice because in the USA it is not a holiday so it is hard to celebrate Eid here. My Boss is Muslim but still we are in USA so business must go on. I am grateful for my job but i wish me staying home was an option. Insha Allah in the near future maybe. But those of you who got to celebrate with your families I am so happy for you!! So Eid Mubarak one more time and good night.

Eid Mubarak

2009-11-27T03:38:00.000-06:00

Wishing you all Eid Mubarak.

New Job

2009-11-23T01:17:00.000-06:00

Well My Boss has finally opened his new cafe in the mall...and i start working there tomorrow...Its going to be interesting...and hopefully fun...I'm worried about working in the mall though...cuz i like to shop!!! But I need to save money for important stuff so i will have to control myself if i see a scarf sale or makeup sale or shoe sale...anyways...I think its going to be fun...oh yea and keep me away from the dippin dots!!! Nite Sisters!!!

Feeling Better

2009-11-21T19:42:00.000-06:00

WOW!! Salamz Sisters!!! I feel good now...finally over being sick!!! I am sure my Hubby is glad too. I am ready to go do something...I am going to try and talk him into going to the movies to see 2012 maybe...He is training for a new job so we have to see what his schedule is gonna be like before we make plans...he has never been to a movie theatre before...so i want to take him to this new theatre that is HUGE!! and so beautiful and a little more expensive but well worth it for his first experience going to the movies. but i have things to do sisters so i will blog more later...

Sick

2009-11-18T17:08:00.000-06:00

Well sisters, I went to visit my family monday night and when i woke up on tuesday i felt really bad...I spent the whole day and the next day in bed or in the bathroom...I had some sort of stomach virus..feeling better today but feel really weak from not eating or drinking...i am trying some sprite and chicken noodle soup in a minute we will see how that goes...but hopefully by tomorrow i am back to myself!!!

Thanksgiving

2009-11-16T02:23:00.000-06:00

Well I dont get to go to thanksgiving to visit my family...I am starting a new job and i have to work...so we are going to visit Monday night after Aziz teaches his karate and coming back on wednesday before his next class so at least i will get to see my family for a little bit...My mom said we will go out to eat on tuesday night...I am anxious again to wear the Hijab in the non-hijab non-muslim sorta racist place... I mean i will be strong and do it but I will still feel a little uncomfortable because all the people will stare at me...I know they will...but Aziz will be there with me and he will give me his strength too and reassure me the whole time...When will this feeling go away...will it ever go away...I dont feel like this in the Big City where i live only there...Is it because that is where i grew up and i know everyone and everyone knows me....I feel bad because I dont want to feel like that...I will walk with my hijab covered head held high but inside i will be nervous...Its not shame because i am proud to be muslim..is it fear...I dont know...I really dont like to go there!!!

Indian Food

2009-11-16T02:13:00.000-06:00

I went to eat out at an Indian Restaurant tonight and I enjoyed being with my Husband so much he talked to me in french which was very romantic then he translated it and it was so sweet...he speaks german too but i tend to giggle when he speaks to me in german because he makes funny faces...ha ha ...but the Indian food was exactly like the Bangladesh food we had and although it is ok I dont think I really like it...I mean ok I really dont like it...no beating around the bush...I can count on 1 hand the things I liked from the numerous things on the buffet...I wanted Mexican food its my favorite but Aziz wanted to go to the Indian place and try it so i agreed...next time its mexican!!! Then we went over to a friends house and visited ...ok i watched TV they visited in Moroccan...but its ok I watch a couple of good shows...Then we came home and drank some tea to kill the Indian food...and now I am blogging until Aziz comes up stairs...he is talking to his roommate and finishing his tea...

ALONE

2009-11-15T02:22:00.000-06:00

Well ever since i switched to Islam I have felt closer to God which is where everyone needs to be and closer to my husband which is also great....but i have felt away from everyone else...My life is so different now and lately I have been feeling that change more. It feels good and bad...I moved to a new city so I dont really have any friends to just talk to and my old friends are just not.... hmmm how do i say it without being mean or rude or disrespectful....they are not the best thing for me anymore i guess you could say...I have been needing someone that is going through the same things as me or understands what it is like to marry a man from another country that has a different culture than you...so I was on my facebook and one of Aziz's cousins asked to be my friend and I looked at his pics and he is married to an american girl so i went to her facebook and asked to be her friend and I read her comments and stuff and she is in the USA and he is in Morocco so she is loney and missing him...one day she was online and she started talking to me and I swear we talked for 2 hours and we have so much in common from both being married to moroccans to the kind of movies and books we read to everything...I had the best time and I finally have a new friend/cousin to talk to...Thank You Allah for sending me this new friend...insha Allah we grow close as sisters someday!!

A Hidden Surprise

2009-11-14T17:29:00.000-06:00

Well my hubby had to work until 2 am last night....so when he got home he took a shower and laid down and he said "I'm so tired, but i brought home some food i left in the car in the back can you go get it for me?" So i went to the car and I was looking and I didn't see any food box and so i moved his jacket and looked and i moved an umbrella and there was a single rose there for me to find....He is the sweetest...I love him so much!!!

Whats Wrong

2009-11-13T17:04:00.000-06:00

I dont know whats wrong with me today??? I prayed the first prayer - I prayed the second prayer - and I cried alot - I prayed the third prayer - I cried even more and i have been on the verge of tears all day...I really dont know what is wrong with me...

Hubby is Sick

2009-11-12T20:39:00.002-06:00

I feel so bad for Aziz..he is sick i think maybe a sinus infection....he just texted me and said he was going to maybe be home early cause he feels worse!!! I hate when he feels bad cuz then i feel bad!! I will give him some TLC and that will make him better....insha Allah!!

Cleaning

2009-11-12T04:11:00.000-06:00

How does everything get so messy...I think its because we live in a small place and we both have too much stuff!! I cant wait to get a bigger place...it is going to be great...hopefully soon...insha Allah...so tomorrow will be a cleaning day for me....uuugggg....i dont want toooooo!!!! OK enough crying i need to sleep so i can get up tomorrow and put on some good cleaning house music and get to WORK!! Nite Sistas!!!

Praying

2009-11-10T10:34:00.001-06:00

Last night I made my Husband laugh during prayer....because I am new at this and still learning...so he told me that we needed to pray this last prayer but not as a team that I needed to do it on my own so I was behind him and he could see what I was doing somehow...and i forgot a step...and he said you have to go down then stand back up before you go all the way to the floor...and I said Oh My Gosh I think you have eyes in the back of your head...and he started laughing...I am sure that Allah was laughing too...and then we finished our prayer I said...you know if you laugh at me it will make me shy to pray with you he said..Baby it is a love laugh not a make fun laugh....he is the sweetest man!!

After the Nikah

2009-11-10T01:25:00.000-06:00

After the Nikah we went out to eat at a New Place it is a Bangladesh place it was pretty good all Halal so that was a plus...then we went to the CousCous which is a Moroccan Place and had tea and visited friends he was talkin moroccan so i was playing around with the camera and took pics of myself...so here they are.

Then I took some Black and Whites I was a liitle bored but Aziz was having such a great time talking that I figured out how to entertain myself I usually carry a book with me...so here are the black and whites...

I was bored and sitting on the couch while Aziz was looking on the computer...so I was playing with his Iphone taking some pics...I love these pics they are special because this Hijab is the very first Hijab that Aziz ever bought me.

This last pic is my favorite!!! Aziz is the love of my life and I could never ask for a better man than him!!!

My Party Pics

Ramadan 2009

2009-11-05T00:55:00.001-06:00

I really enjoyed Ramadan this year 2009 it was my second time to fast during Ramadan. The first year was a little tough but this year I knew what to expect and It was easier and actually enjoyable. Here is a pic of our breakfast the first day of Ramadan.

Speaking Moroccan Arabic

2009-11-01T13:10:00.000-06:00

I want to learn Moroccan Arabic so bad but it is a very difficult language...So is Arabic...What is your opinion? Do you think if I learn regular Arabic it will be easier for me to learn Moroccan Arabic? or do you think i should just keep trying to learn from Aziz and his friends by learning new words and listening to them talk Moroccan Arabic. There is a blog called 760 days in morocco i will try and link it...I like to read it everyday some of you may like it too. http://760days.wordpress.com/ and here is another that has some good pictures of morocco http://essaouirawalking.wordpress.com/ ok sisters I need to go through a couple of otes and weed through my junk so....Later!!

I have been WARNED!!!

2009-10-31T20:25:00.000-05:00

Well this is the second time I have been told I am going to go to HELL!!! the first time was from a friends brother before i even became Muslim. I swear I thought he was going to an intervention when he found out i was thinking of converting to Islam...He looked at me like i needed and exorcism performed or something...and now I converted and I let all my "Friends" that I have known from High School know how happy I am and that I am Muslim now and one of my "friends" that I have known since 10th grade told me that I am going to a devil's hell!!! I told him I was sorry for him and his intolerance!!! May Allah (SWT) bless him with the truth!!

New Scarf

2009-10-31T13:48:00.001-05:00

Not a great pic...but a really great scarf from Ross for $6.99

Sick

2009-10-31T04:13:00.000-05:00

Well I was sick last night and all day so BYE BYE Cleaning plans!!! My phone didn't ring but one time today and that was Aziz checking to see if i was feeling better...he was at work all day. I slept most of the day and I feel a little better just no energy at all. I will sleep tonight and then insha Allah I will be good tomorrow. Then back to my cleaning plan...I have to much stuff..I keep thinking where am I gonna put it all? I really have no idea maybe i will have to down size but its hard to through things out...We are thinking we may move soon and get our own place but having roommates is so much cheaper. I for one would like to have more privacy and quiet but we need to save some money too..decisions...decisions!! I want to do whats best for us for our future. Aziz is so sweet though. He told his friend that his goal is to make sure that I am happy that he never wants to see me sad..I could never imagine a better man than him!! I am trying (right now) to Imagine someone better and he is the only image i see!! He makes me laugh when i want to cry, he makes me feel good when i feel bad, he makes me happy when i am sad, he lifts me up when i am down, he lets me know how imprtant i am, he tells me how smart and pretty i am...So i am so lucky that Allah (SWT) brought him to me. good night sisters may you have sweet dreams

BIG Plans Ruined

2009-10-30T03:38:00.000-05:00

I had such big plans today to get my bedroom all cleaned and organized again...and the bathroom all clean and all the clean laundry put away and of course I stayed up really late again last night...I so need to get my days and nights switched back...we still havent really got back on track since Ramadan....but all my plans were ruined with one little phone call and 4 little words "Can you work today" so i went to work was only suppose to work from 1 to 5 but ended up being 1 to 10 ugggg....I am so tired and the Tips were bad because it was raining and noone wanted to leave their house to go eat...So my plan is for tomorrow to get it all done...insha Allah...my phone doent ring tomorrow!!!

Today Was Pink Hijab Day

2009-10-29T00:54:00.000-05:00

Me and Aziz stayed up really late last night talking with friends and then he was helping me with my Arabic so i can do the prayer in Arabic. So we slept in late and then I got up and got ready I wore my pretty PINK Hjab for Breast Cancer Awareness today and my favorite maxi dress....and when I got done I woke him up to get ready..I went down stairs and made tea and then we went to this whole sale store and Aziz got a couple of hats and this toy that is a flashlight but if you push the button it shocks you hard...he got me with it at the store!!! He laughed so much...I told him i will get you later...ha ha ha!!! I got three brooches very pretty and a butterfly necklace. then we went to eat Chinese Food I had Sweet and Sour Chicken and rice and a veggie egg roll and he had some stuff with shrimp and pasta...Then we went to get his hair cut...Boy did he need it....even though his curly hair was cute. Then we went to Karate and now we are home!! Now I am sitting here watching him play the flashlight trick on his friends and feeling joy and happiness with each of his laughs and smiles...but we had a Fun day just relaxing and hanging out together. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!!

Update on Hijab

2009-10-28T23:05:00.000-05:00

I am sorry I havent posted in a while but I have been busy...but I have a little time tonight so I thought I would update on my experience in the small town i went to. Well nothing out of the ordinary happened noone said anything bad to me..Just strange looks of surprise. I felt a little like I didnt belong there anymore or something. but other than that everything is good.

Tomorrow is the Day

2009-10-25T00:47:00.000-05:00

Well I am going back home on Sunday so Tomorrow will be the big day that I wear My scarf out. I have to stop to get gas tomorrow before I leave so we will see...I will post and let you all know whats up!!! I am nervous but I decided that I am not gonna let it bother me anymore I am a Muslim now I am proud of it and I will not be ashamed, embarrassed, or let other peoples opinions bother me again...I can't let it bother me...thats it!!!

WORRIED

2009-10-23T02:47:00.000-05:00

Well a relative is having surgery and I have to go back to the city where I am from to take care of them for 2 days. I know that I am gonna be treated like a leper because of the Hijab...I live in a big city and there are alot of different religions no one really cares if you have a scarf on or not you get an occasional stare but....I am going to a small town that is only Christian and a few Catholics mostly rednecks that are closed minded. I want to be strong and I have already cried once about it....I just really dont know what to expect...I am WORRIED!!!

Update on my Mom

2009-10-18T14:11:00.000-05:00

Salamz Sisters, Some of you have been asking about my mom? How is she with the Hijab now? Well she lives 2 hours away from me so i dont see her that much, She hasn't said anything more about it. I think she is going to be ok about it though...She saw me in it got over the initial shock...We will have to see what she says next time i see her and I am not sure when that will be. My Dad is going to be a different story....I dont get to see him hardly at all he works all the time and is gone away for most of each month and I just dont see him. I havent even told him i converted, I am sure my mom has told him but he has not seen me in the Hijab yet and I am sure he will not be as acceptable and I will get the Why are you being stupid lecture from him. So I am waiting on the date very anxiously!! I really just wish i could avoid that day forever but I know I can't. So I will pray about it...leave it to Allah (swt). Well Sisters I need to go do some Laundry uggg...so I will post again later.

New Scarves

2009-10-18T01:37:00.000-05:00

I went to this wholesale store with my mom and they had a couple of pretty square scaves that i bought....square hijabs are a little different to wear but i wore it today to the grocery store and i have to say i loved it!! It was silky and soft on my skin and i am going to wear it to visit my friend Fatima tomorrow...but its late so good night...later Sisters!!

Making Dinner

2009-10-17T22:40:00.001-05:00

Well I went to the grocery store and i decided to make roast with potatoes, carrots, squash, cabbage, and onion. I am making sort of a tagine or an American take on the tagine i might make some couscous but we may just eat it with bread....probably with bread...OHHH i had my phone in my hand I was going to text message Aziz and i heard a key in the door and he got off early tonight i was so HAPPY....

Too Much Sleep

2009-10-17T16:10:00.000-05:00

I stayed up way to late last night!!! but I had so much fun!!! I love sleeping but i always feel yucky if I sleep too much. I am hungry need to figure out what to make for dinner maybe a roast and some couscous...I need to go make me some Moroccan tea that always makes me feel better and have a piece of my cake...like i need that!! and then i will go to the store and get some groceries...i will post about my evening with all my room mates the Moroccan Brothers....Aziz is working til 11pm...i miss him when he is at work so much!!!Later Sisters!!!

PARTY

2009-10-17T04:00:00.000-05:00

I got a big surprise tonight....and they had it planned since we went to the mosque today...We were all standing outside and my Fiance and all of his room mates were talking in Moroccan arabic and of course unless they are talking about tea, bread, the cat, or some other easy words then I have no clue what they are saying...but they were talking about me planning a PARTY to CELEBRATE me becoming a MUSLIM!!! well as you know from my earlier post that I have been cleaning and organizing my Fiances room all evening while he is at work until 2am...so he calls me and says that he has to stop by the store and get some drinks...because if you know Moroccans they stay up really late and they eat at night...strange but after 2 years I am getting used to it...So he gets home and I had decided to take a shower and put makeup on so i wouldnt look like the cleaning lady and he comes and looks at his room and he loves it and says ok put your scarf over your head its time for the party. I was like what party is it someones birthday or what he said your party for becoming muslim...I was so happy that these guys who i love like my own brothers had thought about me and love me enough to do something so kind and generous for me. I have pics I will put them on when i email them from Aziz's iphone. and that is my PARTY STORY...goodnight Sisters!!

Organizing!!! UGG

2009-10-16T22:03:00.000-05:00

Well I am organizing my Fiances Closet....guys WHY are they so messy!! I swear I am scared of that closet there are Jinn lurking in there I am sure...I told his room mates if I scream come save me...they just laughed but I was SERIOUS!! I also am cleaning the rest of the room too while he is at work SURPRISE...the funny part is he won't be able to find anything and he will be calling me saying "Mitsy where is this and where is that and have you seen this or that"...of course my answer will be its in its place if you look its there....last time I cleaned he said OMG my mom used to do this I cant find anything now...lol but then after he settles in he is so relaxed and he tells me thank you I like coming to my room now it is nice!! Well Sisters my break is over I need to go back to work!!!

Muslim Name

2009-10-16T17:11:00.000-05:00

Well I met with my mom today and everything went ok...She is still not totally comfortable with it but i think she will be ok she told me i still looked pretty but she loves my hair and will miss seeing it...I can understand her view but if she understood Islam she would see that it is the best...The best part was after I visited my mom...My fiance and I went to visit friends and we had a great time and then we went to another friends house and had Moroccan tea and talked about religion and family and stuff and one of the friends just got back from Morocco and he had videos of his sisters wedding and all the dresses were so beautiful. I am excited about my wedding and I want to have a moroccan wedding they are so beautiful. and they get to change into alot of different dresses. insha Allah my wedding is like that.

My Mom :(

2009-10-15T14:40:00.000-05:00

Well I told my mom that she needs to know that i am muslim now and that when she comes today that i will be wearing the Hijab...OH MY....she said "You aren't going with me anywhere if you are wearing that sh*t on your head!!!" I was shocked that her reaction was so strong...I cried....but then I told her that I am sorry Mom that you will be embarrassed to be with me but i love you and respect you and i wish that you will love and respect my choice...she said, "You dont have to wear that thing on your head around me!!" I told her mom this thing is called a Hijab and I am not wearing it for you or for the neighbor or anyone else I dont care what people think I am muslim and I am wearing it because Allah says to wear it that it is good and the correct way for a woman to be respected for who she is not what she looks like. So when she comes i am wearing the Hijab and she can decide to stay or go....Insha Allah she stays!!!

What to do...What to do....!!

Well, since i converted to Islam on 10/13/2009 I have been wearing the Hijab...I havent seen my mom, she is coming to my city tomorrow!!! What to do....she has not seen me in the Hijab, not even a pic of me in the Hijab sooooo, I am anxious because my family are non-muslim and my parents are on the fence about me wearing the Hijab. I am not ashamed to wear the Hijab i just dont want to here the lectures and the whys because i have already heard all that and when I try to answer the whys they DO NOT LISTEN anyway. I tried to give my mom some literature that i got from the Mosque for her to understand Islam a little better and she didnt even read them I guess I will just wear it and get her over the shock now.

I have been working on this one design trying to get it lined up for hours and there are these knobs you have to turn to tighten the screen down and you have to tighten and untighten over an over until you get it right well my hands hurt soooo bad...I feel like crying. I talked to my fiance on the phone he said to take a break and remove myself from it and drink some Moroccan tea and then go back and try it so i did and finally it came together but its late so I decided to leave it lined up and then tomorrow I will print the 133 shirts that I have to do. Hopefully I will get them done...Insha Allah!!!
